Urgent Plea to Protect Access to Abortions and Contraceptives

The author, a resident of Washington D.C., is writing to urge members of Congress to defeat efforts to outlaw or limit access to abortions and contraceptives. They express concern about the influence of far-right lobbies and political action committees, as well as President Reagans support for a Human Life Amendment. The author highlights opposition to these efforts across the country and emphasizes the potential consequences of limiting access to contraceptives and increasing the number of unwanted children. They urge Congress to take a leadership role in protecting reproductive rights and request the members views on the Human Life Amendment and Bill.
