Feldt to Call on College Students to March for Freedom of Choice
WASHINGTON--(COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Nov 21, 2003--Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) President Gloria Feldt will host a news conference for all college newspaper reporters via telephone on December 2, 2003, at 3:00 PM EST, to discuss the vital role today�s young women and men have to play in preserving reproductive choice.
Who should control what you do with your body? Who should decide if and when you have children? Do you trust someone else to make these life decisions for you? The rights that today�s college students have grown up with and take for granted are now under attack. The government even wants to prevent you from getting the medically accurate and comprehensive sexuality education that would help you make informed choices about your health and future. And the fundamental right to abortion could soon disappear with a single conservative appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court.
During the December 2 briefing Feldt will call on students to join her for the March for Freedom of Choice in Washington, DC, on April 25, 2004. This historic gathering, which will include thousands of college students just like you, will march to the National Mall to demand the rights that young men and women deserve.
WHO: Gloria Feldt, President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America
WHEN: Tuesday, December 2 3:00 PM EST
RSVP: To participate, contact Lynsey Kluever at 202-518-8047 or [email protected]
