Mission Focus: Reproductive Rights Issues

“Whether it is preventing breast cancer or preventing unintended pregnancy, women’s health care is an issue that affects every American family,” she adds. “But it is also an issue that’s been politicized and debated in Congress, in the states, at the ballot boxes and in the courts.”

Because of the politics, Meredith says, organizations seeking funds for reproductive-rights causes can never stop educating the mainstream, and they continually find themselves promoting the message that reproductive rights are not just women’s rights. It comes back to mainstream health issues that affect everyone.
