Let’s Prepare for Action!

Although it seems far away, I’m already getting excited for Pennsylvania Planned Parenthood Advocates’ Day of Action on April 29^th, at the State Capital! I believe that we should always be fighting for women’s health rights, and this is one way to do that.

In Pennsylvania there are constantly attacks on women’s reproductive health care. There are currently two bills sitting in committees at the state legislature. One is an effort to defund Planned Parenthood. Another one was inspired by a recent legislation passed in Texas that requires abortion providers to have restrictive staffing arrangements at specific hospitals. It’s hard for me to comprehend that bills such as these are even given the time of day, let alone sitting in committees!

On the bright side, there is a package of bills that would actually do what bills should do: PROTECT and PROMOTE women’s health! Thankfully, the Pennsylvania Agenda for Women’s Heath has been introduced to change the conversation around women’s health in the PA legislature.

Obviously now is the time to join fellow supporters from all over PA in the fight against these bills passing! At the Day of Action we will urge the our legislators to oppose these direct violations of women’s rights and encourage them to turn their attention to legislations that will actually help Pennsylvanian women and their families!

Hope to see you there!
