Thanks to You and All the
Planned Parenthood Supporters!

2011 has been one heck of a year so far, so this month we're giving thanks to YOU!

Anti-choice members of Congress and the Ohio Statehouse have tried every trick in the book to limit women's access to a full range of affordable health care.  This spring, they tried to hold the federal budget hostage over funding for family planning.  This summer, they tried to exclude no-cost birth control from health care reform.  And here in Ohio over the course of the last year, they have attempted to pass the "Heartbeat Bill," which would be the most restrictive abortion ban in the country.  It is because of your efforts that family planning funds are still available, birth control will be available without co-pay, and the "Heartbeat Bill" sits idle in the Ohio Senate.  For that and more, we say "Thank you!"

You've done an amazing job...but (you know what we're going to say) there's still more work to do.  How can you join us?  Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter!  We value all of your work and contributions.

Thanks to Representative Stephen Slesnick
and Senator Michael Skindell for
the Act for Our Children's Future.

This month, we celebrate the introduction of the Act for Our Children's Future.  The bill requires that any public school that offers sex education must offer comprehensive, medically-accurate sex education.  Representative Stephen Slesnick (D-Canton) has introduced HB 338, and Senator Michael Skindell (D-Lakewood) introduced the companion bill, SB 232.

Why do we need honest and accurate sexuality education?
