Talking Points For Your Letter

• The Supreme Court’s decision is a serious setback for women's health and safety. Politicians will be making medical decisions that ought to be made by doctors.
  
  
• The Bush Supreme Court has gutted the protections for women's health previously protected by Roe v Wade.
  
  
• This ruling will invite increasing interference in the doctor-patient relationship and open the floodgates for politicians to curtail access to abortion.
  
  
• The Court’s ruling shows utter disregard for women’s equality and their right to make their own healthcare decisions.
  
  
• This decision unravels more than 30 years of Supreme Court rulings that said women's health must be protected from dangerous laws that restrict abortion.
