Support
the HEART for
Women Act
Women of the
ELCA has
endorsed this
bi-partisan
bill
introduced on
February 14,
2006, in the
Senate and
House of
Representatives.
The good news
is that more
co-sponsors
have signed
on. Yet
there's still
more to do to
get this bill
passed. Read
the update on
the HEART for
Women Act;
then continue
your work
with your
senators and
representatives.
By
collectively
putting our
voices
together to
advocate on
behalf of
those who
have died or
are ill, or
who could
become so, we
become an
effective,
powerful
voice for
action on
women's
health
issues.

Do you get
e-mail alerts
about
health

E-mail, like
regular mail,
contains its
share of
"junk." Not
everything
you read is
worth
believing ...
not even if
it comes from
a
well-meaning
friend. Read
