This petition came across my facebook page. Thought some of you might be interested in signing.
The following is what I wrote in additional comments:
Please STRONGLY consider designating contraception as preventative care. The more women have access to contraception, the fewer unexpected pregnancies there will be. Fewer unexpected pregnancies means fewer debates about abortion. And while I'm in favor of adoption, that is not always the joyous event that it should be. Too many children who are adopted out were exposed to drugs or alcohol in utero, and this leads to lifelong problems for the child and adoptive parents. How much better for everyone if that pregnancy could have been prevented in the first place.
