The anti-choice leadership of the U.S. House of Representative is waging a War on Women.

The latest attack: a bill that could subject survivors of sexual assault who choose abortion care to "rape audits" by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

According to Mother Jones, H.R.3, the extreme “Stupak on Steroids” bill, could "turn IRS agents into abortion cops."

What these politicians may have overlooked is that their overreaching has galvanized America's pro-choice majority. Since November, NARAL Pro-Choice America member-activists have sent 311,000 messages to Congress in opposition to the extreme anti-choice agenda. And in just the last few weeks, we've added an average of nearly 1,000 new names a day to our activist network.

The pro-choice movement is united, and we’re taking our voices to Washington, D.C. On April 7, NARAL Pro-Choice America will be joined by Planned Parenthood and other pro-choice organizations for a pro-choice lobby day. Join us there!

You could meet face-to-face with your lawmaker and tell him or her to STOP the War on Women!

We’ll be meeting the morning of April 7 on Capitol Hill. We have posted all the detailed information you need to plan your travels on our website.

You can also order a pro-choice lobby day t-shirt now, and get it in time for April 7. It’s a great way to make a strong statement in support of women's freedom and privacy.

America’s pro-choice majority is fired up. Together, we can STOP the War on Women. I hope to see you in Washington on April 7!
