Fwd: Trump administration's gag rule is dangerous and unethical! (signature needed)

Well this is an unexpected email.  I guess they don't know me.

Robert,

The Trump administration's dangerous gag rule could block patients around the country from getting the vital reproductive health care they need. It would interfere with the relationship between doctors and their patients -- all because the Trump administration wants to restrict the private decisions people make with their doctors.

Planned Parenthood flooded the Department of Health and Human Services with official comments, which has slowed down this rule already -- but they haven't gotten your signature yet, Robert. So we're sending this as a reminder that we need your help.

Add your name to voice your opposition to this dangerous rule and help Planned Parenthood protect reproductive care for MILLIONS! >>

Sincerely,
Dr. Leana Wen, President
Planned Parenthood Federation of America




Now more than ever, we need your voice!

Planned Parenthood supporters submitted hundreds of thousands of comments urging the Trump-Pence administration not to implement its dangerous gag rule — but the rule could be officially released any day now!

Sign now to tell the Trump administration that you won't back down to help to protect reproductive health and rights in this country! >>

SIGN NOW >>


Robert,

The Trump administration's gag rule will put access to care and information at risk for millions of people, and he is planning to release it any moment now. That means that people who otherwise couldn't afford it will lose access to free or low cost reproductive health care — and we need your help.

Robert, in moments of crisis like this, we count on supporters like you to step up for the millions of patients who turn to Planned Parenthood health centers for quality, nonjudgmental health care every day.

Add your name now to let the administration know that you stand with Planned Parenthood! >>

There's no question that this rule is dangerous. Millions of Title X patients — over 40 percent of whom are patients at Planned Parenthood health centers — rely on the program for quality, affordable birth control and other preventive care. The American Medical Association has said this gag rule will "dangerously interfere with the patient-physician relationship ... and jeopardize public health" — and thousands of doctors, nurses, and health care providers have signed a pledge saying that the gag rule is unethical and will undermine our health and rights.

Hear me when I say this: We will never back down when it comes to providing people with the reproductive care they need to live healthy, independent lives.

Planned Parenthood has been around for more than 100 years, and we plan on being around for at least 100 more.

But this rule creates program requirements that will make it impossible for health care providers to provide comprehensive, ethical health care. Planned Parenthood and many other providers would be unable to continue participating in the program because of our commitment to patient care. It will block patients from seeing the Planned Parenthood nurses and doctors they trust.

Sign the petition now to commit to helping defend access to reproductive health care! >>

ADD YOUR NAME

In the days and weeks to come, we will continue working to ensure that everybody has access to the care they need. That's just what we do here at Planned Parenthood — and I'm glad you're here with us in this important work.

Sincerely,

Dr. Leana Wen, President
Planned Parenthood Federation of America
