A petition for women to voice what matters most to them as mothers, professionals, sisters daughters and female leaders. Women represent the backbone of our society and yet we continue to be undervalued. This forum would provide a loud and clear voice that America's women matter and have something very important to say.

A Sacramento DA has ordered that a 17 year old girl who reported a sexual assault be held in juvenile detention to ensure she testifies in court against her assailant. She is a ward of the state and her bail was set at $50,000. Imprisoning this young woman will not stop rapists but will, instead, deter other victims from coming forward.

As men in Congress continue to hold meetings on women's health issues without any women present, I believe it is time women make a stand together. This petition proposes that if birth control is not to be covered by health insuance plans, coverage for Viagra and other potency drugs should be revoked.

This petition sends a message to members of the Senate and House of Representatives letting them know that it is not acceptable to pass legislation of any kind restricting a woman's right to choose. Mandatory waiting periods, parental consent, parental notification, transvaginal ultrasounds and forcing women to listen to the heartbeat of the fetus are unnecessary restrictions and encroachments upon a woman's right to make reproductive health decisions that men make every single day. The right to choose has already been legalized by Roe v. Wade through the trimester framework and reaffirmed by Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey in 1992. These attacks are unnecessary invasions of a woman's right to privacy and must be put to an end.

We currently have 35 states that have ratified the Equal Rights Amendment and all we need to make the E.R.A. the 28th amendment to the U.S. Constitution is 38. The 15 states that have not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment are:Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia. It's time.

Republican legislatures and governors across the country are following the lead of Wisconsin's Republican Governor Walker to weaken equal pay for equal work requirements for women. Fifty years of progress for women in the workplace are now in danger of reversal.

Women are 51% of the US population. Yet we are considered a minority. In a democratic country being a majority minority is an oxymoron. We are not well represented for our numbers. It's time to vote ourselves into office at all levels all over the country. Vote for every woman who is pro-choice and we will never be oppressed and suppressed ever again.

Ms Sandra Fluke is such an awesome woman! She would be a fantastic president. Barack Obama will be termed out in 2016. Sandra must be on the ballot then! No other woman I've seen has such a passion for women's rights and sexual freedom. After Mr Obama has finished his work so many opressed people will be liberated. Wouldn't it be the ultimate in liberation to have Sandra follow it up? I am just so excited about this!

To all women: until the Republican War on Women has ended, BOYCOTT SEX WITH REPUBLICANS. Republicans have been busy coming up with ways to limit women's rights while the entire economy is falling apart around us. Republicans should be concerned with creating jobs and improving the economy, not picking on women!

The Texas Legislature has become a major aggressor in the Republican War on Women. The assault on the Rights of Women must be halted and action must be taken to reverse these assaults. Your signature will establish your position in the struggle for human rights.

There is a move to eliminate the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) because it is adding protections for Native Americans, LGBTQ individuals and immigrants caught up in a web of violence. The scope of this issue is to continue protection under the law for the roughly 1 in 4 women and 1 in 71 men who have experienced violence and rape at the hands of an intimate partner.

This petition is about the attempts to legislatively make it impossible for the lone abortion clinic in Mississippi to operate. After we voted down the personhood amendment last November the republican lead legislature have found a new way to target abortion and make it "abortion-free". I started this petition, because the people of Mississippi have spoken overwhelmingly against any law that makes it essentially illegal to have abortions in our state.
