Tuesday, 7 pm Nov. 11, 2014

Location: Celebration Community Life Center, 919 S. Washington St, Naperville

Speaker: Brigid Leahy, Director of Government Relations, Planned Parenthood of Illinois

The landscape for family planning and other reproductive health care services has changed dramatically in recent years. What is the impact of the recent Supreme Court Hobby Lobby case? How are other policy changes affecting women’s access to reproductive care? What is the Illinois Birth Control Advisory Referendum, and where can you access the candidates’ views before the upcoming election?  How are state-wide and national trends evolving, and what is the status worldwide, particularly in developing countries? These and other questions were answered by Brigid Leahy. To take action to tell politicians that women’s healthcare services, including birth control, is important; vote Yes on the advisory referendum on the November 4th, 2014 election ballot.
