Planned Parenthood: Sign the emergency petition

I started an emergency petition demanding that Congress not cut a dime in federal funding for breast cancer screenings, Pap smears, and other preventive health care at Planned Parenthood health clinics.

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

I started an emergency petition demanding that Congress not cut a dime in federal funding for breast cancer screenings, Pap smears, and other preventive health care at Planned Parenthood health clinics.

Can you join me in standing with Planned Parenthood? Click here to sign the petition, and then pass it on to your friends.

The petition to Congress says:

STOP the war on women and Planned Parenthood. Don't cut a dime in federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

This is serious. Five states have eliminated funding for Planned Parenthood, and 11 states have launched investigations into the organization so far this month—while Congress wasn't even in session.¹

Congress will soon reconvene, and the fight to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood—and even shut down the government over it—will be front and center in Washington.²

Planned Parenthood is a lifeline for millions of women and men across the country, providing cancer screenings, contraception, and basic preventive health care.

Click here to sign the petition and show you stand with Planned Parenthood, and then pass it along to your friends.

Thanks!

–Rep. Diane Russell
