Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Iowa Planned Parenthood Action Network.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Did you know that young women heading back to college this fall are seeing a dramatic increase in their birth control pricing?  Pill costs have skyrocketed from an average price for a month's supply of birth control for college women from $5-$10/pack to $40-$50/per pack

Did you know that these prices increases may delay or even prevent young women from accessing birth control due to the inability to afford these high costs? 

Did you know the United States Congress can easily and quickly act to remedy this problem – but so far has refused to do so?

Please take a moment today to write your local paper expressing your support for affordable and accessible birth control for all women.  Immediate Congressional action is necessary to assure that young women across the country aren't denied access to affordable birth control to prevent pregnancy.

Click here to write a letter to the editor of your local paper - talking points to help you draft your letter are located to the right of the box where you type your letter.  Your opinions and comments matter and Iowa members of Congress need to hear that Iowans overwhelmingly support affordable birth control access.
