Take Action!

I got this email from WVFREE, I thought it was extremely important to share....


***

The bill we have been dreading has made its debut at the Capitol and we NEED YOUR HELP TO STOP IT. The ultrasound requirements legislation, SB 597, is a veiled attempt to coerce a pregnant woman and intimidate her provider. This bill is an intrusion into medical care and a blatant attempt by the right-wing to use women as pawns in their effort to make it harder to access reproductive health care. THE BILL IS ON THE MOVE NOW!

Please email members of the Senate Health and Judiciary committees with this message (Subject line: Please Reject SB 597):

Dear Senator, Please oppose SB 597, the ultrasound bill. This legislation is right-wing interference into a woman's personal decision-making and does not add anything positive to West Virginia's existing laws--except to place burdens on a pregnant woman and her provider. At a moment of profound economic crisis, we'd like you as our WV legislator to tend to the people's business, not find new ways to interfere in people's personal lives.

Copy and paste the following Senators' email addresses to send your message NOW! It's easy!
jeff.kessler@wvsenate.gov, roman.prezioso@wvsenate.gov, ron.stollings@verizon.net, daniel.foster@camc.org, william.laird@wvsenate.gov, richard.browning@wvsenate.gov, evan.jenkins@wvsenate.gov, corey.palumbo@wvsenate.gov, herb.snyder@wvsenate.gov, john.unger@wvsenate.gov, jack.yost@wvsenate.gov, donnaboley@suddenlink.net, delegate200@hotmail.com, michael.oliverio@wvsenate.gov, truman.chafin@wvsenate.gov, bob.williams@wvsenate.gov, don.caruth@wvsenate.gov, frank.deem@wvsenate.gov

Thanks for standing up for women today!
