Restore Affordable Birth Control

Good news! Back in March 2007 we told you about an "error" in the 2006 Deficit Reduction Act that inadvertently caused birth control prices to increase ten-fold for low income women and college students. Many of you took up the call to action and pressured congress to fix the error.

Well, it's taken over a year, but we are please to report that a bi-partisan bill, The Prevention Through Affordable Access Act, has been introduced in congress. This is a no-cost fix that will restore affordable birth control pricing to college health centers and health care providers that serve low income women (like Planned Parenthood).

Take a moment now to email, call or write your congressional leaders asking them to support this bill. Preventing unintended pregnancy is the only real way to reduce the need for abortion.

You can read more about the bill at Planned Parenthood. You can also sign-up to take action from their website.
