The Missouri legislative session ended with on Friday, May 16 at 6:01 p.m. without passing any anti-choice, anti-family planning or anti-sex education bill - the first time in the past six years!!

But they did allow Missouri's extensive informed consent process for women making a decision about abortion to stand. This session politicians spent too much time talking about abortion, rather than what they can do to help prevent unintended pregnancies or improve women's health.

Help us make Prevention First a priority for Missouri legislatures in the next session that starts January 2009!

But in the meantime...

THE TRUTH ABOUT JOHN MCCAIN

For the past 25 years, John McCain has consistently voted against women's health. From opposing funding for family planning programs to voting against requiring insurance coverage of birth control, McCain has taken extreme positions. He has voted against women's health and has not supported legislation that would help reduce the rate of unintended pregnancies and the need for abortion. This has earned him a zero rating - the lowest rating Planned Parenthood Action Fund gives in the U.S. Senate.

We are educating voters about John McCain's anti-choice record.

Listen to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund radio ad, “The Truth About John McCain.
