Dear %pa-first-name%,

While the debate over health care reform wages in Washington, Planned Parenthood of Illinois is fighting for women’s health right here at home. We're working hard to pass the Reproductive Health and Access Act (RHAA) — legislation that guarantees women and families complete information and real choices for reproductive care.

We have our work cut out for us, as anti-choice lawmakers are determined to undermine women's access to safe, high-quality reproductive health care — and that means that we need your support right now.

What we do right now to advance the Reproductive Health and Access Act will have an impact in Illinois communities for years to come. I can't help but think about what RHAA could mean to tomorrow's teens and young women in Peoria, Decatur, Bloomington and Chicago, who are just girls today, and who deserve to grow up with the freedom to make decisions about their own health.

Without access to abortion, choice is meaningless. Without access to basic information about contraception and family planning, sex education is meaningless.

Renew your support for Planned Parenthood of Illinois today, and help us protect women's health at this vital moment.

You stood with us before, and I can tell you that your support truly makes the difference between defeating attacks on women's health and coming up short. With your support, Planned Parenthood of Illinois won some important fights in 2009:
  • We successfully passed the Bubble Zone ordinance, which provided a safe space between patients and anti-choice protesters at our Chicago area health centers.

  • We've coordinated a series of successful lobby days to give you a powerful and resounding voice for reproductive health in Illinois.

  • We've reached out to voters to give them the tools they need to protect choice and reproductive freedom.

Achievements like these would not be possible without your support. Please make sure we have the resources we need to continue protecting women's health in the face of anti-choice opposition. Contribute to Planned Parenthood of Illinois now to renew your support.

With anti-choice forces motivated by their opposition to health care reform, we're going to need your help to protect and promote women's health all across Illinois. I'm asking you to help us rise to these challenges in 2010 — please say yes by making a renewal contribution today.

Thank you for everything you do to stand up for choice. Your contribution today will help us ensure that each Illinois woman is allowed to decide for herself when and whether to become a mother, and to have the information and access she needs to control her own reproductive health without interference.

>With the anti-choice forces motivated more than ever by their opposition to President Obama and health care reform, we need your help to stop the growing threat to reproductive rights.

We definitely have our work cut out for us this year. But that's what it means to be a part of Planned Parenthood — for more than 90 years, we've risen to the toughest challenges as courageous advocates, while helping to expand the reach and range of care at our affiliate health centers. And with abortion access severely threatened by health care reform, 2010 is shaping up to be more challenging than any other year in decades. I'm asking you to help us rise to these challenges again — please say yes by making a renewal contribution today.

Thank you for your steadfast support as we begin a new decade. Millions of women, men, and teens rely on Planned Parenthood, and your contribution today will help us continue that tradition of trust.
