Members of Congress should take notice. That’s the word from the National Women’s Law Center and Planned Parenthood Federation of America as they unveil the results of a national opinion survey on reproductive health.
The survey documents that on issues like sex education, contraception, unintended pregnancy and abortion, most voters agree that this country is on the wrong track. By a decisive margin — 58 to 24 percent — voters are overwhelmingly dissatisfied with the country’s approach to reproductive health issues.
Those who responded to the survey want a reproductive health agenda that will make a real difference in the lives of women and families. Over 70 percent strongly favor making it easier for women at all income levels to obtain contraceptives, want to see public schools teaching comprehensive sex education and want to make sure women’s right to contraception is protected.
