Rally at the Capitol: EC bill

[Nite Owl]

Got this in an email if anyone in the area wants to go:


There will be a Rally For The Emergency Contraception Bill this Thursday, 8/4, at 11:30am at the Capitol Park-West (next to the NYS Capitol, between State and Washington Streets), Albany.


The Unintended Pregnancy Prevention Act -- a bill that will increase availability of emergency contraception to women – is expected to be delivered to Governor Pataki to be signed into law. Family Planning Advocates and many other organizations concerned about women’s health are holding the rally to make sure that the Governor puts science above politics and approves this important bill.


The rightwingnuts used to claim they were only concerned about abortion -- that they didn't have a larger agenda of reversing the right to contraception. The fact they are moving on and trying to take us back to the days before Margaret Sanger helped make contraception a right proves they were lying about that, too. The real issue is controlling women's lives, not fetuses.
