Sign the petition: NO shutdowns. NO cuts to Planned Parenthood or other vital programsTAKE ACTIONEmail from Terry O'Neill, President of NOW:
NOW is joining forces with a number of other progressive organizations to send Congress an important message: NO funding cuts, NO shutdown, and NO compromises!
I hope you will join us by adding your name right now.
The vengeful smear campaign against Planned Parenthood is dangerous, deceptive, and nothing more than a thinly-veiled attempt to eliminate the Constitutional right to abortion. Planned Parenthood and other federally-funded family planning clinics provide essential health services to millions of men and women each year including abortion care. NOW is proud to stand with Planned Parenthood.
Defunding Planned Parenthood would strip over 2.7 million women and men of essential healthcare services. Tell Congress you won't stand for this!
I want you to know that the public is on our side. In fact, a recent poll found that 71% of adults are not in favor of shutting down the government over Planned Parenthood. Any cuts to Planned Parenthood's funding are unacceptable. Shutting down the government is unacceptable. We will not accept any compromises to women's health.
You can join thousands of other people: Tell Congress you stand with Planned Parenthood, you stand with reproductive rights, and you stand with women.
For women's lives,
Terry ONeill
President
TAKE ACTION
Petition:
We, the undersigned, urge Congress to reject any and all efforts to defund Planned Parenthood and to never give in to the demands of those who threaten to shut down the government.
TAKE ACTION

Thank you again!

Not the job of congress to ignore their constitutional duty and the judgment of the courts.
