2009 Mississippi Prevention Petition

Dear Activists:

Every year anti-choice legislators try to inch Mississippi closer to a ban on abortion. It is time to let Mississippi legislators know that we need real solutions to the problem of unintended pregnancy and the increasing rates of sexually transmitted infections.

Mississippi legislators who truly care about reducing unintended pregnancies and the need for abortion should work with Planned Parenthood towards prevention by increasing access to affordable contraceptives and providing our youth with medically accurate comprehensive sex education.

Sign our 2009 Mississippi Prevention Petition to let legislators know that you support increased access to contraceptives and comprehensive sex education!

Tell your legislators that you are tired of anti-choice efforts to put politics above the health and safety of women and teens by their continued attempts to further restrict access to abortion.

Your Representative (if you live in Mississippi)
Your State Senator (if you live in Mississippi)

According to the CDC, Mississippi is #1 in the nation in teen births. We are also #1 in both chlamydia and gonorrhea, which can cause infertility if untreated.

I believe that:

Prevention is the best method of reducing sexually transmitted infections, unintended pregnancy and the need for abortion.

It is time to get to the root of these problems by bringing comprehensive sex education to Mississippi schools and increasing access to affordable contraceptives.

Laws restricting access to abortion do nothing to reduce unintended pregnancy or the need for abortion.

Lawmakers that truly care about these issues should work with Planned Parenthood towards prevention.
