We disapprove of the William's Rider and the redistribution of funds to crisis pregnancy centers. These programs are proven ineffective and redundant to already created programs that actually provide preventative services. Thousands of women have not received health-care services as a result of the rider. It is not justifiable to fund counseling services instead of pap smears when there are already established counseling providers. For many women this funding provided the only medical screenings they would receive in a year. Not only does it affect women, but also their children and families. This is not about abortion; this is about women's health! Please take a stand for women's health-care issues!

The momentum generated by this petition demonstrates a clear public recognition that functional healthcare must take precedence over ideological funding. We have reached a significant threshold that ensures this critical issue remains visible to those in positions of authority.

PREVENTION is the key. Stop wasting money on places that dont provide actual medical services.

My wife relies on these clinics for her yearly checkups. This policy is plain cruel and hurts actual families.

So frustrating. Why take healthcare away from women who cant afford it elsewhere? So tired of this stuff.

This is ridiculous. Women need real medical care like screenings and exams. Not fake clinics.
