    Trust Women...Support a Pro-Choice America

    FROM MY INBOX TO YOURS...ACTION 4 ACTION
    This just in from
    Nancy Keenan, President, of NARAL Pro-Choice America... Declare your support of the "Trust Women" campaign with a $10 donation and receive a “Trust W
    omen” wristband:



    Our “Trust Women” wristband campaign is wrapping up, but I still need you to take part. We must stand with the many pro-choice Americans nationwide who have already declared their support.

    Donate today and get your “Trust Women” wristbands.

    Dr Tiller often wore a button on his lapel that featured his motto, “Trust Women.” After Dr. Tiller’s murder, Dr. LeRoy Carhart, an abortion provider in Nebraska, wore the pin as a tribute to his friend and colleague…and we created this wristband to carry forward the message.

    That’s why when you to donate $10 today to NARAL Pro-Choice America, we will send you a “Trust Women” wristband to honor the legacy of Dr. Tiller…and to show your solidarity with Dr. Carhart and all of the doctors and nurses out there who trust women.

    Dr. LeRoy Carhart has been a vocal supporter of a woman’s right to safe, legal abortion care. He is one of the few abortion providers to whom women in heart-breaking circumstances can turn. And the anti-choice movement has made him a target of their attacks by enacting a divisive and invasive anti-choice law aimed directly at threatening Dr. Carhart and the women he serves.

    In fact, Mary Spaulding Balch of the National Right to Life Committee recently told Politico, “When George Tiller was killed, LeRoy Carhart had national attention. That alerted Speaker Mike Flood to the problem in Nebraska, and he worked to address that.”1

    We cannot let anti-choice operatives go unchecked. Donate today and receive your “Trust Women” wristband.

    Anti-choice zealots have proven that they are willing to use both violence and legislation to oppress women. That’s why we need the support of each and every pro-choice American today.

    This is your opportunity to show our opponents that we will not be intimidated.

    Donate $10 today, and we will send you a “Trust Women” wristband. Please join us and stand against anti-choice violence and intimidation.

    Sincerely,

    Nancy Keenan, President
    NARAL Pro-Choice America
