NLIRH supports the right of every Latina to be in charge of her own life, to determine if and when to have children, and, to seek the full range of reproductive health options available. Our organization is outraged that Congress and President Bush would support a ban on a medically safe abortion procedure. Restricting and criminalizing any abortion procedure undermines the fundamental human right to self-determination, and endangers the lives of women for whom abortions may be medically necessary.
