“A woman’s body belongs to herself alone. It is her body. It does not belong to the Church. It does not belong to the United States of America or to any other Government of the face of the earth,” said Margaret Sanger, a leader in reproductive rights who opened the first birth control clinic in the U.S. Faye Wattleton, a nurse who saw women suffering from botched illegal abortions, stands up for reproductive freedom and other women’s rights. “Reproductive freedom is critical to a whole range of issues,” Wattleton said. “If we can't take charge of this most personal aspect of our lives, we can't take care of anything. It should not be seen as a privilege or as a benefit, but a fundamental human right.” March is Women’s History Month. Now is your chance stand with past and present leaders of reproductive health.

The Bush administration has been trying with all its might to force Congress to grant the President broad spying powers.

Now, it's up to Congress to decide if the government can eavesdrop on Americans without a warrant, and whether or not telecommunications companies will get away with illegally helping the administration spy on us over the past six years.

For far too long, President Bush has been trying to expand his power at the expense of our freedom and the Constitution. The House of Representatives made a wise decision to let President Bush's reckless and unconstitutional spying bill expire. Now, they must stand strong and continue rejecting the administration’s fear mongering tactics.

Help protect our constitutional rights! Urge the House of Representatives to reject any legislation that does not restore judicial review and protect the privacy rights of innocent Americans.
