Rally for Women's Health on Saturday

Rally for Women’s Health with NOW and allies in Richmond, VA on Sat. and hear NOW Action VP Erin Matson speak. Recently, the VA Board of Health approved "TRAP" laws designed to shut down abortion clinics. These regulations will go before Governor McDonnell next, so we need as many activists as possible to tell the governor to reject these anti-choice regulations. RVSP Today!
