NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado Launches thepriceiswrong.org Opposing Trump's HHS nominee
Denver – NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado, the political voice of the pro-choice movement, is launching a new grassroots effort to let legislators, the media, and Colorado’s pro-choice majority know that when it comes to women’s health, The Price Is Wrong. Trump has nominated anti-choice, anti-abortion rights Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga) to a Cabinet post to be Secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services.
thepriceiswrong.org website will be collecting women’s stories and sending their objections to Price’s nomination to Colorado’s U.S. Senators Cory Gardner (R) and Michael Bennet (D).
“Frankly, Tom Price’s views are so backwards we wonder what century he thinks he’s living in – because it sure doesn’t bear any relation to the needs of women in this state and this country in 2016,” said NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado Executive Director Karen Middleton. “He’s supported Personhood bills giving full legal rights to fertilized eggs – the same Personhood language Colorado voters have repeatedly rejected at the ballot box. And he’s been a vocal opponent of birth control access, including the types of birth control that cut the unintended pregnancy rate here in Colorado.
But here’s the jaw-dropper: Tom Price has said he’s never met a woman who can’t afford birth control. This will come as news to women who have struggled to pay for a $1600 IUD or a year’s worth of birth control.
