Vote Now! All Women Deserve Access to Contraception!

March 9, 2010 5:30 PM by Jihan Thompson
The Obama administration is giving ordinary people a chance to become a part of the change the campaign promised. Now, with their Ideas for Change Competition, you can vote for an idea that’s important to you. Americans for UNFPA are promoting a cause we can definitely get behind: universal access to contraception and family planning programs for women around the world. When a woman can decide the number and spacing of her children, she is less likely to die in childbirth. Her family tends to be more economically stable and her children are typically healthier and better educated. With your help, it could be one of the 10 winning ideas presented to the Obama Administration and they could earn $1 billion in funding. Voting ends March 12! To vote for Americans for UNFPA, go to change.org.
