A rally for reproductive rights will take place tomorrow at Wesleyan, to support Planned Parenthood, as they face efforts by the Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives to curtail reproductive rights.
Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut's newly-elected U.S. Senator, and Judy Tabar, President of Planned Parenthood of Southern New England, will be the speakers. The rally will take place from 4:00 to 6:00 in Wesleyan's Exley Science Center, Room 150. Exley is the tall building between Lawn Avenue and Church Street.
Planned Parenthood health centers provide birth control, cancer screenings, HIV testing, and abortions. A week ago, the House voted to bar all federal funding to Planned Parenthood, for any of these purposes. The nearest Planned Parenthood health centers are in Meriden and New Britain.

Title x funding does not fund abortions!!!! The removal of the funding will affect the uninsured, poor, and jobless women all over the country! This is not only about abortion, it's worst! You have a right to stand for whAt you believe, please investigate the claims before you act on the branwashing being done!
