OKLAHOMA: STAND WITH PLANNED PARENTHOOD!

The vote today in the House of Representatives reflects the pursuit of an extreme political agenda by the Republican House leadership. The outcome of this vote is not a surprise, but it is radically out of step with mainstream American values, and it is out of line with what voters want Congress to focus on.

In attacking Planned Parenthood, the House Republican leadership has launched an outrageous assault on the millions of Americans who rely on Planned Parenthood for primary and preventive health care, including lifesaving breast and cervical cancer screenings, annual exams, birth control, HIV testing, and STI testing and treatment.

It now falls to senators from both parties to join together to reject this extreme approach, restore common sense, and guarantee that Planned Parenthood and the millions of Americans who count on us for health care are protected. Ensuring that Planned Parenthood serves millions of women each year is what mainstream Americans want and expect from the United States Senate.

We call on the United States Senate to defeat any bill that targets Planned Parenthood or women’s health care.

Taking care of our patients is our priority...

Our focus today, Valentines Day, is taking care of our patients as we do every day.  If you support the right to receive high quality, low-cost healthcare, then you support Planned Parenthood of Central Oklahoma.  There is nothing more important to us than you!

Bullet dodged for now...just wait until next week!

The Oklahoma Legislative session ended early this week thanks to a whole bunch a snow!  This buys pro-choice Oklahomans a little time to gain momentum for grassroots organizing.  We know...there is little chance of stopping any legislation this year but hear us out. 

As terrible as many of the anti-choice bills are this year, we want you to know that Planned Parenthood of Central Oklahoma, Planned Parenthood of Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma and many other pro-choice organizations (OCRJ, Sally's List, ORCRC, CRR and PPFA) are still going to put up a fight to protect our reproductive rights. 

One thing we've learned over the years, it takes many to stop any legislation!  More than ever, we need you!  Join our action network today by emailing ppco@ppfa.org to receive important legislative updates which you can forward to your friends and family. 

It will take MANY TO STOP ANY and we're counting on you!
