Despite our fantastic electoral gains, we still face strong anti-choice opposition in the Missouri legislature.  In previous sessions Missouri legislators have repeatedly 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 this January Planned Parenthood will delivery it along with thousands of Prevention Petitions to Missouri legislators and help them and our new Governor get off on the right foot!

Sample Letter for Campaign

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I am outraged that in the past Missouri legislators failed to promote prevention by voting to allow abstinence-only sex education in schools, ban trained sex educators from public schools, and close abortion clinics.

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 restrictions that harm Missourians and FOR prevention!

I want to keep in touch about my elected officials, candidates and Planned Parenthood Action Fund's One Million Strong campaign.
