End the Global Gag Rule

The Issue

End the Global Gag Rule and Sign Petition:

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/end-the-global-gag-rule

The Global Gag Rule has had terrible consequences for the health and lives of poor women and their families, in ways that have nothing to do with abortion. The Global Gag Rule has forced clinics to cut back on all sorts of health services, such as family planning, obstetric care, HIV testing, and malaria treatment.  Join us in urging President-elect Obama to overturn the Global Gag Rule during his first 100 days.

Bob PackerPetition StarterI was born in Barbados which is a small island in the caribbean. This is where I spent endless hours growing up around the beach. My days were spent mostly Surfing, but nearly every day revolved around the ocean. When I was younger I did not pay much attention to the changes taking place before my eyes that are so apparent today. I have witnessed entire reefs along stretches of beach simply die and disappear over the years. Along with the reefs went the fish and sea life that was so plentiful. I am convinced that Global Warming is the cause and we need to do something about it NOW before it's too late. Our future generations need us to step up and make significant changes all over the world otherwise they will be the one's to loose out.
