Women's Health Express Bus is coming to the Texas Capitol with Cecile Richards!
Texas Governor Rick Perry and his conservative allies have once again chosen politics over Texas women. To Governor Perry, women’s health is just a political game.
Governor Perry would rather throw health care for an additional 130,000 women overboard than allow Planned Parenthood to provide health care like breast and cervical cancer screenings, birth control, and STD prevention through public health programs.
Join Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, State Representative Dawnna Dukes, Jehmu Greene, and other special guests in sending a message to Governor Perry— you’ve done enough damage. Don’t take away women’s access to health care!
Several local artists will be joining us too:
Carolyn Wonderland
Marcia Ball
Jimmie Dale Gilmore
Colin Gilmore
***UPDATE***
Mayor Lee Leffingwell will be there to proclaim it women's health day in Austin!
