The Florida Association of Planned Parenthood Affiliates (FAPPA) is the state public policy office representing Florida’s five Planned Parenthood affiliates. FAPPA works to advance public policy in areas of reproductive health care, family planning and medically-accurate sex education in order to make comprehensive reproductive health care available to all.
After so many failed attempts by so many well-intentioned politicians to get health care reform in this country, is it finally going to happen? And if it is, a key question for us is: what about women? Will women's reproductive health care be included - or will women once again be shortchanged and poorly served? We hear that Congress is debating the subject right now. They need to hear from all of us.

My name is Abigail Malick, and I am the President of VOX UCF: Voices for Planned Parenthood at the University of Central Florida. UCF is a conservative campus, but our members are some of the most determined and caring people that I have ever come across.

MIAMI - The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Florida is releasing a guide to teach pregnant teenagers their legal options and rights.
"The Legal Guide for Pregnant Teens in Florida" includes information on legal aspects of abortion, adoption and raising children. Other topics include getting public assistance for housing, health insurance and how to get an immigration status change.
The project was modeled after a book written by a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which printed 30,000 copies.

Lately, there have been many convenings to discuss the special arena of "women's health care." At a meeting at the White House a couple of weeks ago, a participant said she would love to see the day when men had to have special meetings about their health care needs. But we aren't there yet. The fact that women reproduce and, therefore, have different types of health care needs makes some folks on Capitol Hill go pale and start to sweat.
