Global Gag Rule Hearing

For the first time in seven years, the House has scheduled a hearing to investigate the devastating effects of the global gag rule. We would love for you to join us and fill the room, showing our support for the women of the world. I know its short notice, but I wanted to pass it along in case you were interested.

 

The hearing will take place tomorrow (Wednesday) October 31st at 10am. We recommend that you get there by 8:30 am in case there is a long line. There’s no way that we can predict the crowd, so we can’t guarantee a seat to everyone. The hearing is scheduled to occur in room 2173 of the Rayburn Building. Please RSVP and get more details by emailing Melissa@prochoicemd.org.

What does “Pregnant? Need Help?” Really Mean?

It means that there is a Crisis Pregnancy Center in your neighborhood.

What is a CPC?

Many Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs) are fake “clinics,” generally run by anti-choice activists. CPCs often provide misleading and inaccurate information to women about reproductive health issues, such as birth control and abortion. While there are centers that do not deceive women or attempt to coerce them into making choices against their will, many CPCs use deceptive and intimidating practices to prevent women from accessing the full range of reproductive-health options.

Come learn what you can do fight back against fake clinics at our monthly CRAB meeting.
