Here's the background:
The fight for women's access to reproductive health care just landed in Aurora, Illinois, a fast-growing city outside Chicago, where Planned Parenthood just built a large health center.
The usual suspects in the anti-choice fringe have showed up in droves - more people are protesting this clinic than Planned Parenthood has seen in a very long time. They need our help!
People like you and I are tying ribbons outside the new clinic - a ribbon for every supporter. If we get massive amounts of ribbons tied, we'll send a powerful message to the protesters that Planned Parenthood has support from across the country. And, we'll also let the women seeking care there know that they are welcome and supported, too.
You see, what's happening in Aurora isn't just some isolated incident. What's happening in Aurora today is what's happening in America. It's not a war on a clinic - it's a war on women's access to needed health care - in Aurora, and across our country.
Update 09/18/07
This morning was set to be the opening day of our new Planned Parenthood clinic near Chicago, but anti-choice protesters have pressured officials into delaying our opening. We WILL open those doors, but we need your help - NOW.
Thank you to the 24,925 of you who sent your message of support to our staff and volunteers in Aurora by tying welcoming ribbons at the clinic. If you haven't already, please support our fight for the Aurora clinic by making a gift today.
Any amount will help: https://secure.ga0.org/02/aurora1/n0dan4tS1s2x7?source=b0809htr05
