ACTION ALERT--AN URGENT NEED TO CALL OR E-MAIL REP. KITTY RHOADES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! (Click on link for sample correspondence)--Contact Representative Rhoades, Phone: (608) 266-1526 or (888) 529-0030; Email: Rep.Rhoades@legis.wisconsin.gov.
Your Immediate Action is Needed!
Please PHONE or EMAIL State Representative Kitty Rhoades and (1) thank her for eliminating the expansion of the Medicaid Family Planning Demonstration Project in the Assembly budget bill, and (2) urge her to block the expansion of the Project on the conference committee.
IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE BUDGET BILL
NOT INCLUDE ANY EXPANSION OF THE
MEDICAID FAMILY PLANNING DEMONSTRATION PROJECT !
The Family Planning Demonstration Project currently provides free, taxpayer-funded birth control to 15, 16 and 17-year-old girls without their parents’ knowledge or consent. Federal and state law prohibits parents from being notified that their minor daughters are receiving free contraceptives under this demonstration project. This undermines parental authority and increases underage pregnancy, abortion, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) by encouraging sexual promiscuity. Expanding the project to include 15, 16, and 17-year-old boys further undermines parental authority in the sensitive area of teen sexual health.
LET’S STAND UP FOR PARENTS AND PROTECT OUR KIDS!
