Hajja Romi
Planned Parenthood Online
Dear Romi,
We are overwhelmed by your amazing support since yesterday's announcement that
the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation will stop funding breast cancer
screening at Planned Parenthood health centers. Thank you.
Among the outpouring of support was this letter written by a longtime activist.
We couldn't have said it better. If you agree, sign on and share it:
This is for all the anti-choice, anti-women people out there.
Listen up.
You can spend every minute of every day trying to force the rest of us to live
by your ideology. You can go after federal funds for health care and pressure
private organizations like the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation to stop
funding breast cancer screenings for poor women. You can try to make it
impossible to get birth control.
But you know what you can't do? You can't win. You can't break us. Planned
Parenthood isn't just a family of organizations. It's a movement. It's women
and men of all ages who believe that health care — including reproductive
health care — is a basic human right. We are millions strong. We are
everywhere. We act, we give, and we do whatever it takes to make sure that
Planned Parenthood is there for the women, men, and teens who rely on them.
Know this: When you go after Planned Parenthood and the people they serve, you
go after ME. I stand with Planned Parenthood. I stand with them against anyone
who wants to stop women from receiving the health care they need. I stand with
them today, tomorrow, and for as long as I need to.
To add your name, click here. And, please, spread it far and wide.
I am deeply touched and quite honestly amazed at the support that has poured in
from women across the country. And I have to say — I signed that open letter
with pride, because it captures exactly how I feel. It doesn't matter what the
anti-choice, anti-women's health forces out there do. As parents, we tell our
kids not to give in to bullies — and we shouldn't, either. I promise you that
we won't, no matter what.
Thank you, as always. Your help means the world to us, and to the people we
serve.
Sincerely,
Cecile Richards, President
Planned Parenthood Federation of America

again.
