Pro-choice signature ad names due 1/9/13

Please add your name to the pro-choice signature ad that NC NOW runs in the Independent Weekly every year, and that we deliver to all of our representatives in the NC General Assembly (House and Senate). The ad reads as follows and includes columns and columns of pro-choice supporters names.

“We the undersigned, support a woman’s right to safe, legal, and accessible birth control and abortion. We condemn the acts of violence and intimidation directed at women and their health care providers. We agree that these rights extend to all women regardless of economic status, and, as taxpayers, affirm our support for family planning services and for abortions for indigent women.”

The wording has changed from past years because the state abortion fund was eliminated in 2011 by H.B 200, and due to the extreme attacks on women's clinics and Planned Parenthood.

At this late point, please also email president at raleighnow.org to be sure we get your name in the ad.
