THEY DID IT!!!! The U.S. Women's National Soccer Team (USWNT) just won their FOURTH World Cup title!! These incredible, hardworking, and talented athletes are an incredible force and inspiration to us all. But despite their success, women soccer players are still paid significantly less than men—even though the U.S. men's team has never made the same advances, or had the same success, as the women's team. The U.S. men's team didn't even qualify for the last World Cup tournament. These women are high-performing athletes, and they should be compensated fairly. Sign the petition demanding equal pay for the members of the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. "It certainly is not fair." Those five simple words from co-captain Megan Rapinoe sum up the problem, and we know the solution is equal pay for these inspiring athletes. The women's contract says they stand to make a grand total of $200,000 each for winning the World Cup, while men in a similar position would have made over $1 million each. We demand equal pay. In addition to bringing home championships, the U.S. women's team is also bringing in lots of revenue. The U.S. Women's National Team jersey is the best-selling Nike soccer jersey EVER. And the women's team has brought in more revenue than the men's team for the past three years. Women soccer players are suing the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) for equal pay, but court battles take a long time and a lot of money. USSF could fix this right now, without the courts, by paying all of the players' salaries and bonuses equally, regardless of gender. That would show little girls everywhere that they deserve the same opportunities boys do. Will you sign this petition telling U.S. Soccer to pay women fairly?

Congress needs to resemble our population. Half of our population is female. Let's make it happen.

Did you know that for every dollar a man makes a woman only makes 80.7 cents? And doesn't it seem unfair to you that women get paid less just because of their gender?! Also, did you know single women without children make 96 cents for every dollar a man makes, and married mothers only make 76 cents? We require a law which ensures that women get the same pay for the same work as men.

Domestic violence must end, those in power should not only set example, but actually live their so called higher callings. The alleged act of punching his wife in the face because she undressed to slowly for sex is unfathomable to say the least. Women are not sex objects or toys, hopefully his wife will seek a divorce, domestic partner counseling, and get the hell out of Mississippi! Demand his resignation immediately from the Mississippi's state government.

Following on the heels of Georgia, Alabama just passed the nation’s most restrictive reproductive healthcare bill that, if allowed to go forward by the courts, would impose criminal penalties on any doctor who performs an abortion, even in the cases of rape and incest. We know the lifesaving importance of access to reproductive healthcare for women, and we cannot even begin to imagine the horror of a high schooler who has been raped learning that terminating her pregnancy is a criminal action. Despite these horrors, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey immediately signed the bill into law. Across the land, other states like Missouri and Louisiana are considering bills designed to provoke the reversal of Roe versus Wade, which protects a women's right to choose under the U.S. Constitution. Ultimately, it's up to governors to sign them into law. Signing such anti-choice laws signals a governor's active participation in the war on women that wants to take away our bodily autonomy and our ability to make our own family planning decisions. Make no mistake, this war on mothers (most women who have abortions are already moms) and women is not about reducing abortions. If the goal of those who are passing such severely restrictive laws was to avoid abortion, then they'd be passing access to free birth control, which is proven to lower abortion rates, not setting lifetime imprisonment laws for doctors who help women in need. What's really happening is a direct attack on women and moms having bodily autonomy, economic freedom, and sovereignty in our lives.

We fought hard for our rights we cant go backwards

Anti-choice politicians in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives have passed House Bill No. 321 to amend the Abortion Control Act by adding the prenatal diagnosis of Down Syndrome to its definition of unlawful abortions and making abortion based on the prenatal diagnosis of Down Syndrome a felony. The bill will now go to the Pennsylvania Senate for a vote. This bill, passed in the House of Representatives on May 14, 2019, is nothing more than an attempt to control women's bodies and challenge Roe v. Wade. In a political climate that's becoming increasingly hostile toward women and at a time in our nation when legislators in other states have openly expressed their desire to take away women's reproductive rights, House Bill No. 321 is an appallingly opportunistic attack on women's health. Furthermore, although its sponsors and supporters will attempt to convince you otherwise, this bill is not an attempt to protect individuals with disabilities. House Bill No. 321 contains no provisions to protect persons born with Down Syndrome, and, unsurprisingly, none of the bill's sponsors or supporters have introduced legislation to protect individuals living with Down Syndrome. House Bill No. 321 can only be interpreted as a means to further restrict women's legal right to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions. Women have the absolute right to decide whether to carry a pregnancy to term. Women's decisions whether or not to abort are entirely their own to make. If a woman who becomes pregnant decides she is unable or unwilling to give birth to and/or raise a child - whether or not that decision is made on the very reasonable basis of a complex and life-altering disability such as Down Syndrome - it is that woman's decision to make, and hers alone. House Bill No. 321 is an unconstitutional ban on women's right to choose. The real intention of the bill is clearly to bring Pennsylvania one step closer to banning abortion. We cannot allow that to happen.

We women should not be banned from our bodies! We are pro-choice; NOT their choice. I'm a woman and believe I should never have to ask for permission for my body.

The government's increased control and politicization of women's bodies is unacceptable. Families in Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, and communities across the nation are under attack, and Governor Kay Ivey has just days to make a decision to veto a dangerous bill being sent to her desk. She should veto the bill. Every person has the non-negotiable human right to determine whether, when, and how to create a family. In Alabama, pregnant people face many barriers impeding their ability to access the general and reproductive healthcare they need. People espousing "pro-life" politics frequently talk about how much they love pregnant people and babies. However, their political agenda does not extend to ensuring that pregnancy and birth are safe for pregnant people or that parents, children, and families can access the healthcare they need to live healthy lives. The state of Alabama's refusal to expand Medicaid access has caused a decrease in the number of local hospitals and healthcare providers in urban and rural areas. This means that a large number of pregnant people are going without the prenatal, birth, and postnatal care needed to ensure healthy pregnancies and birth outcomes. Maternal and infant mortality rates remain high in Alabama, but those shouting about the need to "protect babies" from abortion are hostile or indifferent to initiatives like Medicaid expansion that would make a tangible, positive impact on the health of Alabamians. In solidarity with the thousands of Alabamians who need abortion access every year and the millions of Alabamians who have had and benefited from abortion access, we demand that the Governor veto the extreme abortion restriction bill.

This petition is about creating business consequences for Alabama, whose legislature just passed the most restrictive and punitive anti abortion law in the U.S.

House Bill 182 states that ectopic pregnancy are to be reimplant into the uterus, a procedure which does not exist. This could put many of women’s lives at risk. It will limit coverage in birth control a medication often used for hormone regulation not just as a prevention of pregnancy. This bill will also limit insurance coverage for abortions for mothers lives who are not endanger.

Cannot believe they passed a law banning Abortion in this day and age. Women have struggled for decades to make progress towards equal rights, in one fell swoop the State of Alabama has returned them to the Civil War era
