Speak Out For Women's Health Rally

Come join the Young Democrats @ VCU and the Virginia Coalition for Women's Health this Wedensday, September 14, 2011, at 11:30am on the Monroe Park campus' Compass Plaza as we stand up and "speak out" against additional regulation of women's healthcare, or "TRAP": Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers."

This series of regulations, which forces unnecessary regulation on health clinics and healthcare providers across the Commonwealth, goes before the Virginia Board of Health on Thursday, Sept. 15, and we want to let them know how we feel! This bill not only affects women seeking safe, affordable abortion procedures, but will also hamper the efforts of general health clinics and organizations such as Planned Parenthood.

Join us as we speak out to defend access to healthcare in the Commonwealth!
