women's rights

In his first speech after winning last night's Presidential debate, President Obama broke down the choice in this election and how we're moving forward.

President Obama understands that women's issues are America's issues. When asked about equal pay for equal work Romney refused to answer and didn't tell the truth—instead he talked about women as resumes in "binders."

The Greater Houston Section of the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) has launched a re-make of Helen Reddy's feminist anthem "I Am Woman" to unite women of all ages today in the fight for access to reproductive healthcare, secured over forty years ago. The new song and video production, "We Are Women," uses powerful lyrics and facts to encourage women all over the U.S.

"Because of good care, care like that made possible because of the work of Tammy Baldwin, I'm here today"--Kate Dendooven, Mother of Two, Cancer Survivor.

Baldwin led the fight to protect funding for Planned Parenthood and critical preventive care like breast and cervical cancer screenings. She opposed legislation that would have barred Planned Parenthood health centers from providing preventive health care to over 59,152 Wisconsin women through federal health programs.

Voiceover: "As you're making your decision ... maybe you're wondering what to believe about Mitt Romney."
"Well, when it comes to protecting your access to birth control ... and the basic women's health care services Planned Parenthood provides ... one thing we must remember, is this:"

Mitt Romney: "I'll cut off funding to Planned Parenthood."

Voiceover: "He'll cut it off. Cut us off."

Mitt Romney: "Planned Parenthood. We're going to get rid of that."

Voiceover: "Women need to know ... the real Mitt Romney."

No matter how much he talks around his record, Mitt Romney is wrong for women's health. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have vowed to overturn Roe v.

Mitt Romney has been ducking the issues for too long--refusing to discuss his record on women's health and wanting to hide his agenda until after the election. We can't let him get away with it. And we won't. When Mitt Romney headed to Denver for the first presidential debate, women in Colorado were ready to ask the tough questions.
