For those of you in the New York area - this is a really important event to attend, especially since Pataki has said he will veto this bill. Let's at least show him we won't go down silently!


EC RALLY AUGUST 4!

URGE PATAKI TO SIGN THE EC BILL INTO LAW!

Next week the Unintended Pregnancy Prevention Act will land on Governor Pataki's desk for his signature. He will have 10 days to make his decision. Governor Pataki's signature on this important legislation will expand access to EC, allow women to make responsible choices about their reproductive health, and prevent countless unintended pregnancies.
The Unintended Pregnancy Prevention Act would make emergency contraception, also known as the morning-after pill, available to women directly from trained pharmacists, registered nurses, and midwives. EC is an effective, FDA-approved, method of pregnancy prevention when taken within days after unprotected sex, contraceptive failure or sexual assault. However, it is most effective when taken within the first 24 hours.

WHAT: EC Rally DATE: Thursday, August 4

TIME: 5:00 pm

LOCATION: Across from 633 3rd Ave., between 40th & 41st Streets, opposite from Governor Pataki’s NYC Office FOR MORE
