Welcome, Mary Jo!

I would like members and staff of NARAL Pro-Choice America to be aware that H.R. 1384, the Medicare for All Act of 2019, would repeal the Hyde Amendment and provide full reproductive services for all Americans, including abortion services and contraception. It would be extremely helpful if advocacy groups like NARAL Pro-Choice would support this legislation and make sure it supercedes individual state's abilities to enact laws limiting choice. Anne Jones, RN, anne@annejonesmn.com 612-964-8370

Thank you for sharing, Anne!

Thank you for your question, Kim! :) Friends, we will do a Q & A at the end of this training! Please save your questions and we will have an opportunity to address them at the end of the training!

Great, Jenetta!

Great question, Kate! We will get back to you shortly!

Thank you for your passion and leadership, Jenetta!

We will be sharing the recording of this training and the handout that supplements it!

This information is absolutely amazing!!! Thank you NARAL for this work

Would be great for this information to be taught in high schools.

Yes, Sharon! Yes, Candi! Thank you for weighing in!

Finding commonality is key to getting out accurate information.
