Access to abortion is legal, constitutionally protected, and consistently supported by a majority of Americans; yet anti-choice organizations and policymakers have made it increasingly harder for women to access needed care. Anti-choice hardliners erode access to abortion through court battles, ballot measures, and burdensome legislative restrictions on abortion services — some extremists even resort to intimidation, harassment, and violence against women and health care providers.
Planned Parenthood fights these anti-choice efforts on every level. From courthouses to statehouses to Capitol Hill to the grassroots, we work to protect access to reproductive health care through education of elected officials, litigation, and mobilization of our more than four million activists, donors, and supporters.
Planned Parenthood advocacy efforts address:
# removing restrictions on abortion access
# expanding the number of abortion providers
# ensuring access to confidential health care for young women
# Medical and Social Health Benefits Since Abortion Was Made Legal in the U.S.[/quote]
Funny, but I have never seen an argument by Planned Parenthood about minimizing the number of abortions. It is always about providing access and more access, reducing restrictions and eliminating those hated "anti-choicers".
