Planned Parenthood of Montana Action Network

Greetings,

Senator Dan McGee to Cut Family Planning in HB 2

Protect access to contraceptives for Montana's low-income families!

 

On Thursday, the Senate may hear an amendment from Dan McGee (R-Laurel)

to strip state funding for Montana's family planning clinics from the state's budget.

  • This represents a 20% cut to family planning clinics statewide
  • 70% of Montana's family planning clients were at or below 150% of poverty
  • Every $1 spent on family planning saves $4 down the road in public funding

This is an amendment we cannot ignore! Please call or email your Senator today and ask him or her to OPPOSE any amendments to remove funding for contraceptives from HB 2! 

 

PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL YOUR SENATORS TODAY

ASK THEM TO STAND UP FOR MONTANA WOMEN AND FAMILIES!!!!!!!

(Critical Senators are in bold)

 

Sample message:

Senator _________,

Please support Montanans' access to prevention and oppose any attempt to remove contraceptive funding from HB 2. This funding supports access to basic healthcare, especially Montana's low-income women and families. This is an amendment that cuts the family planning clinics by 20% and Montana needs to maintain these critical services in this economy.Please keep contraceptive funding in the budget! Thank you!

Sincerely, ___________
