Draft Congresswoman Louise Slaughter for Democratic Vice President 2012The petition would be to replace Joe Biden with New York Congresswoman Louise Slaughter for Obama's VP choice. We foresee the GOP influencing the Republican nominee for president to select a woman for his VP choice, as well. Ms. Slaughter is fighting against the GOP's war on women's reproduction rights, and fair health care rights for all Americans.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by jerrypearl

Say NO To Fetus Personhood Legislation!The right to liberty includes choice and free will. As a concerned American citizen, will you urge your local, state, and federal leaders not to support fetus personhood legislation? Currently, there are proposed ballot measures or referendums in 15 states: Colorado, North Dakota, Mississippi, Ohio, Montana, California, Kansas, Virginia, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Alabama, Georgia, Nevada, Arkansas, and Florida. If approved, they will dismantle female reproductive rights setting woman back hundreds of years. Fetus personhood laws would make abortion a criminal offense, effectively cancelling out Roe v. Wade, outlawing abortion. Fetus personhood legislation will truly leave woman relying on unconventional birth control methods such as: aspirin between the knees; black cat bone around the neck; harmful vaginal suppositories such as crocodile fecal matter and citric acid; and (or) spitting into a frogs mouth to name a few. When those methods do not work, woman will be forced to use a coat hanger! Do we really want to go back to the dark ages? Fetus personhood legislation is a threat to women and physicians like Dr. Howard Jones, co-founder of the Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School understands. Dr. Jones told The Virginian Pilot: "[Fetus] personhood [legislation] would write into state law the proposition that life begins at conception. [It confers on] the unborn child at every stage of development all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents…The bill is widely seen as an anti-abortion measure, but it has broader implications. [In cases of ectopic pregnancy], it would make the surgeon a little nervous about what the implications would be if he removed a living person. Yet if he doesn't, he's exposing the mother to great risk. [Fetus personhood] legislation is a naive expression based on a failure to understand the biology involved." According to Planned Parenthood, 88% of American voters agree that women should have reproductive rights. Ask yourself - Should government be allowed to craft legislation that oppresses women? Do you really see your mother, sister, daughter and (or) wife as second-class citizens only good for being barefoot and pregnant? I don't! We must stop this MADDNESS!!!! Don't allow women to lose their rights as a citizen!14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen McDow

Boycott VirginiaVirginia propese that women be forced to undergo a transvaginal sonogram if they seek to terminate a pregnancy. This is "rape by the state" and is patently unconsititutional. This must be stopped and an economic boycott is the means to effect a change.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by joel palmer

Hey CNN: Fire Dana Loesch!Dana Loesch compared a forced trans-vaginal procedure to sex recently. This is not just an inflammatory statement about women with regard to sexual practices, it reinforces the underlying subtext that women subject THEMSELVES to forcible rape. In other words, it is blaming the victim. Dana Loesch should be FIRED.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Blecha

Women's Health : Our Bodies, Our DecisionsThe proposed Blunt amendment would allow all employers to deny their employees access to ANY form of health care they claimed a personal "moral" objection. Not one women was allowed to testify at a congressional hearing on women's health!

Stop PA Abortion Ultrasound BillIn a thinly-veiled attempt to block a woman's right to choose, members of the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives have put forward a bill that would force doctors to perform ultrasounds on women seeking abortions. Most women seeking abortions are very early in their pregnancies, meaning that most of these ultrasounds would be performed trans-vaginally. It follows then that this bill mandates something akin to state-sponsored rape. The bill has passed through the House Health Committee but has yet to be put to a vote. Tell your representatives that you stand with women and that you oppose House Bill 1077.1,160 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Margot Goldberg
