U.S. policies are denying the poorest women in the world contraceptives and family planning services. As you may know, the Bush administration has reinstated the Global Gag Rule, a destructive policy that denies funding to foreign health providers that educate women about their right to choose.
The Gag Rule has blocked critical contraceptive supplies to numerous African countries and caused a host of clinics to close across the continent. In refusing to provide aid to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the Bush Administration has undermined that agency's efforts to provide services to vulnerable women worldwide, and denies women around the world the power to make their own choices about childbearing. Send an email to President Bush today asking him to overturn the Gag Rule. Lives depend on it!
