Dear Friend of First Freedom First, 

Today is the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark Roe v Wade decision, which recognized that important life decisions - including the right to end an unintended or unwanted pregnancy - should be resolved privately, based on our own personal beliefs.  

First Freedom First supports the right of all Americans to be free to make choices concerning their own health.  

Individuals may look to their own faith or other ethical considerations as they make these choices, but the government must never mandate that all Americans must follow the tenets of one religious viewpoint.

First Freedom First acknowledges the differing views on abortion.  You can be personally opposed to abortion yet respect the right of women to make their own life decisions free from government intrusion. 

Creating laws that are grounded in religious belief conflicts with the separation of church and state, and compromises our religious liberty.
First Freedom First appreciates the support of the more than 50,000 people who have signed our petition. You understand the importance of safeguarding separation of church and state and protecting religious liberty.  

http://www.firstfreedomfirst.org/

There are powerful forces on the Religious Right, angry over the last election, who are busy organizing their supporters.  We must not let down our guard.  We urge you to continue to encourage your friends and family members to visit First Freedom First and add their name to our growing list of petition signers!
