We all know how important women's health care is to a strong society.

Planned Parenthood provides quality health care to a wide spectrum of Iowa women.

Anti-choice extremists are on the attack, releasing videos that have been deceptively sliced-and-diced in an effort to drag Planned Parenthood’s name through the mud. Steve Knight and his anti-choice friends in Congress are now using these videos as an excuse to defund Planned Parenthood. Like any bully, Steve Knight and the anti-choice extremists won’t back down until we stand up to them. Add your name. Sign the petition. Tell the anti-choice bullies in Congress to back off!

I was personally sexually assaulted as a child by a cousin without any recourse. Today's headlines concerning the many accusations against Bill Cosby make one thing clear: Victims should have a voice no matter how far in the past they experienced these horrific acts. These monsters should not be allowed to be do this to anyone else and must be held accountable for their actions.

I care about all the women and men who would lose quality health care if Planned Parenthood is defunded.

A radical anti-abortion rights group is releasing a series of heavily edited, blatantly misleading videos in an attempt to smear Planned Parenthood. The leadership of one of the groups consulting on the anti-Planned Parenthood videos includes a convicted felon who attempted to bomb an abortion clinic. And now, hackers have attacked Planned Parenthood's website and are releasing the staff's personal information. Republican presidential candidate Senator Rand Paul has vowed to use “all legislative vehicles” available to defund Planned Parenthood. And Republican leaders in Congress are rushing to schedule the first votes. More than 2.7 million people turn to Planned Parenthood's nonprofit clinics in the U.S. each year for affordable health care services, including cancer-prevention tests, well-woman visits, access to birth control, and abortion services. Make no mistake about it: Abortion rights and women's health are under attack. Tell Congress you stand with Planned Parenthood for women's health and rights.

I am a victim of domestic abuse. My brother has made a life for himself while physically abusing me and verbally abusing me as well. My life is not at all how I planned it as a small child and i want justice foe the years of pure hell that he put me through. my brother has a big house and a car and all these nice things yet he is an abusive jerk who still gets away with it. and holds my family hostage. many people like me have been through pure hell and have nothing to show for the torture our abusers put us through and pure abusers have money and cars and houses and good jobs that we don't have and we still are stuck. Let's take their jobs and car and houses from them.

Most offenders get a slap on the wrist for beating their partner, daughter in-law, etc. Most women are terrified to call the police out of fear that nothing will be done, or their abuser will be released the next day. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence; my ex father in-law hit me twice in the head with a steel skillet, causing a large bruise on my brain and a hair-line fracture in my skull. I now live with chronic vertigo and severe anxiety, among other things. My attacker received 37 days in jail as a repeat offender. Please stiffen the punishments on these people so their victims can sleep peacefully knowing their abuser can never hurt them again.

Republican leaders like Speaker John Boehner are calling for a formal investigation into Planned Parenthood after an edited video surfaced that falsely accused the organization of selling organs. This is the GOP's latest stunt to take away women's rights to their own health care needs. Women and the men who love them must stand up, or we will have no rights and neither will our daughters. We all need to fight for our reproductive rights and healthcare for all women.

Honor his victims: Remove Bill Cosby's star.

We need vindication for the victims.

The USA’s National Women’s team just won their THIRD World Cup, but FIFA is still treating our champions as second-class citizens. The high-profile Women’s World Cup final match shattered television records with over 25 million viewers -- making it the most watched soccer game in U.S. history.(1) Yet, our world champions are being paid FORTY TIMES LESS than their male counterparts did for LOSING the World Cup last year during the first round ($576 million vs. $15 million)!(2) FIFA, which generates billions in revenue, also forced women — but not the men — to play this year’s World Cup on artificial turf. This not only increased the risk of injury, but also increased temperatures on the field by 20-30 degrees. During tournament, field temperatures reached 120 degrees.(3) It is no secret that gender-pay disparity runs rampant in the United States with women making 78 cents per dollar to men.(4) And this blatant pay discrimination by FIFA may be the most extreme case yet. It is time for FIFA’s executives to take a stand for equal pay, stop underscoring our heroic female leaders, and provide them with the same awards and privileges as men. Join me to stand alongside women and men all across the globe to right this injustice and ensure that our champions and all women receive equal pay. 1. http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/womens-world-cup-carli-lloyd-usa-win-soccer-ratings-1201534249/ 2. http://www.politico.eu/article/world-cup-women-pay-gap-gender-equality/ 3. http://thinkprogress.org/sports/2015/07/06/3677105/fifa-will-pay-us-womens-championship-team-4-times-less-mens-teams-lost-first-round/ and http://www.sportingnews.com/soccer/story/2015-06-03/womens-world-cup-turf-war-fifa-canada-artificial-turf-natural-grass 4. http://www.newrepublic.com/article/121530/women-color-make-far-less-78-cents-mans-dollar
