Today is the 29th Anniversary of the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade. Think about it for one minute:

"The right to choose is synonymous with freedom and equality for American women."

"In 1965, 17 percent of all deaths due to pregnancy and childbirth were the result of illegal abortion. Today, abortion is 11 times safer than childbirth."

"Legal abortion has been associated with decreases in both maternal and infant mortality. The right to make childbearing decisions has also enabled women to pursue educational and employment opportunities that were often unthinkable a generation ago."

"A lot of women have become complacent about these rights and truly believe that Roe could never be overturned. And they could never be more wrong."

"Women today have fewer reproductive rights than their mothers did a year after Roe vs. Wade."

What does being pro-choice mean to you?

"In 2001, being pro-choice is about preserving the fundamental liberties of freedom, privacy, and self-determination on all fronts. It means:

*Ensuring that all women have access to the full range of contraceptives.
*Making sure that both adults and teens that are faced with an unwanted pregnancy can obtain safe and legal abortions.
*Guaranteeing that sex education classes offer teens medically accurate information about birth control, safer sex practices, abortion, human sexuality, and abstinence.
*Securing the opportunity for all women to bear children without government interference.
*Protecting the legal foundation of the right to abortion.
*Blocking attempts by the U.S. government to impede women’s access to abortion and family planning services throughout the world."
