Dear Romi,
Minutes ago, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to bar Planned Parenthood
from all federal funding for any purpose whatsoever. That means no funding to
Planned Parenthood health centers for birth control, lifesaving cancer
screenings, HIV testing, and other essential care.
By far, this is the most dangerous legislative assault on women's health in our
history, and it cannot go unanswered. We need you to stand united with us now.
We need you to stand with Planned Parenthood and with the three million women,
men, and teens we serve, who are now at risk of losing access to basic care.
We've drafted an open letter to every single representative in the House who
voted for this cruel, unconscionable, unthinkable bill, and to every senator
who still has a chance to stop it. Will you sign it — and share it right now?
AN OPEN LETTER TO CONGRESS
To the members of the House of Representatives who voted for the Pence
Amendment to H.R. 1:
How could you?
How could you betray millions of women — and men, and teens — who rely on
Planned Parenthood for basic health care?
How could you condemn countless women in this country to undiagnosed cancer,
unintended pregnancies, and untreated illnesses?
Your vote was not only against those who seek care at Planned Parenthood health
centers, but against every one of us who has ever sought care there, and
against every one of us who knows that when we are healthy, when we are in
charge of our lives, we thrive.
It was a vote against me.
To every senator who will soon consider this legislation:
I stand with Planned Parenthood to say to you: STOP THIS.
I stand with Planned Parenthood and the hundreds of thousands of people from
every walk of life and every corner of this country who join me in signing this
letter to tell you that we will fight this bill and we expect you to do the
same.
I stand with and for the millions of women, men, and teens who rely on Planned
Parenthood, and I expect you to do the same.
To every member of Congress, know that we stand together today against this
outrageous assault, and together we will not lose.
Romi, this fight will continue next week when our legislators return to their
home districts, and when the vote heads to the U.S. Senate the following week.
Your voice, your strength, and your unwavering support are absolutely critical,
now and in the weeks ahead. I am so glad to know you are with us during this
very challenging time.
Sincerely,
Cecile Richards, President
Planned Parenthood Federation of America
P.S. Thank you also for your patience as these ongoing threats to Planned
Parenthood require us to communicate with you so frequently.
