Planned Parenthood has had some recent victories that we can celebrate

August 2006

Message from Cecile Richards, President
Planned Parenthood Federation of America

Although 2006 has been a challenging year for choice (the words
"Alito" and "South Dakota" spring to mind), this August has been
a month of victories. Here's the highlight reel:

<> Pharmacies in Illinois will soon have to post signs telling
women that it's their right to purchase contraceptives and how
to file a complaint if their prescriptions are refused. Gov. Rod
Blagojevich proposed the rule to back up his earlier executive
order protecting access to emergency contraception.

<> New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, in a challenging fiscal
environment, just added $2 million to the state family planning
budget. That's a huge increase for one state -- one that will
allow Planned Parenthood to see thousands more patients.

<> The Missouri Supreme Court delivered a preliminary ruling
that Planned Parenthood affiliates were not required to return
almost $1 million in state family planning funds that Planned
Parenthood used to provide family planning services to poor and
uninsured women in 1999 and 2003.

Let's keep our momentum going as autumn approaches, and with it,
new and perhaps greater challenges.
