Take Action: Put Prevention First!
Put Prevention First!

Despite pro-choice electoral gains in 2008, we still face strong anti-choice opposition in the Missouri legislature.  In previous sessions Missouri legislators have repeatedly demonstrated that they have the wrong priorities and chosen restrictions over prevention. They need a reminder that the only way to reduce the number of abortions in Missouri is by getting to the root of the problem by increasing access to birth control, providing teens with medically accurate, comprehensive sex education, and by providing affordable family planning and reproductive healthcare!

 

Sign the Prevention Petition today and Planned Parenthood will delivery it along with thousands of Prevention Petitions to Missouri legislators and help them get the right priorities.

  • Missouri Legislator

I am outraged that many Missouri Legislators have the wrong priorities; they ignore common sense prevention efforts and focus on harmful and unnecessary restrictions on abortion services when:

There are more than 815,000 uninsured Missourians including at least 146,150 uninsured children, AND

Missouri ranks among the top 15 states for sexually transmitted diseases - with Missouri's largest cities -Kansas City and St. Louis - leading the country in chlamydia and gonorrhea rates, YET

10 prevention bills were ignored while they debated abortion restrictions.

Prevention means:
Access to birth control, including emergency contraception.

Access to medically accurate, comprehensive sex education.

Access to affordable family planning and reproductive health care.

I want my elected officials to vote AGAINST additional harmful restrictions on contraception and abortion.

I want my elected officials to vote FOR common sense prevention policies.
