HELP TEXAS WOMEN: Restore the reproductive healthcare funding that was taken away from them
WE NEED YOU to sign our petition to let Governor Rick Perry know our group of policy advocates want to restore and increase funding for comprehensive reproductive health care for Texas women.
Why is this important?
We want to help Texas women and this includes your grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, nieces, co-workers, neighbors, friends, students, and most especially low-income women. The Texas Family Planning Program lost $73 million dollars during the 2011 legislative session. Thousands of Texas women have lost access to family planning services and low-cost healthcare. In 2012, the Women's Health Program lost it's federal funding due to Rick Perry's Affiliate Ban Rule. These setbacks have resulted in a 77 percent drop in the number of women being served by state health clinics and increased costs to taxpayers.
Please consider signing our petition to restore equal funding to all family planning clinics, increase funding for the Women's Health Program and the Family Planning Program, and to integrate comprehensive sex education into school and clinic settings across Texas.
Texas low-income women have lost access to family planning/birth control, well-woman exams, women's health education, breast/cervical cancer screenings, sexually transmitted disease testing and treatment, and access to pregnancy termination.
We need your help. Please sign our petition.
