Letter to the Editor

The recent 40 days for life prayer vigil taking place outside Planned Parenthood is designed to intimidate patients. This is part of a large campaign nationwide to deny women, men and teens access to reproductive health care, including abortion. Women should be able to get health care without fear of violence, harassment or intimidation. The majority of Americans agree that women and health care providers should not be forced to endure intimidation and harassment from anti-choice protestors.

Planned Parenthood is the nation's leading reproductive health care advocate and provider. In Norwich alone, over 4700 area women accessed affordable quality health care at Planned Parenthood’s Norwich health center last year. No one does more than Planned Parenthood to prevent unintended pregnancy and keep women, men and teens healthy and safe.
