Republican leaders are threatening to shut down the entire federal government for the second time in three years unless Congress cuts funding for Planned Parenthood. We cannot let them get away with it! Planned Parenthood is a lifeline for millions of women, providing cancer screenings, contraception, and basic preventive health care to women across the country. We want Louisiana politicians to know that Louisiana residents will not stand for this danger to American women.
Why is this important?
As a MoveOn.org member, national members called my attention to starting a specific petition to Louisiana representatives, which would be more pivotal from a local constituent getting other residents involved with the matter. Louisiana already has a failing grade for its work with women's healthcare, and we need to reconcile this now by signing as Louisiana residents in support of Planned Parenthood and its excellent efforts.
