Script of "Compassion"

Every year, Planned Parenthood gives millions of women and families the facts they need to make responsible choices. That's why you need the facts about George W. Bush. Bush calls himself compassionate but would restrict funding for family planning and put a gag rule on doctors. He agrees that he's the most anti-abortion governor in America and supports a constitutional amendment that would take away our right to choose. Does that sound compassionate or responsible? Get the facts and decide for yourself.

Script of "Appeal"

The U.S. Supreme Court is considering a law that's a deceptive attack on the right to choose. The so-called "partial-birth abortion" ban is extreme and unconstitutional. It outlaws early and safe abortions, jeopardizes the health of women and gives the government the right to interfere in your personal choices. Wake up. Help protect the right to choose. Contact the Center for Reproductive Law and Policy—lawyers who are defending the right to choose in courtrooms across the country.

Script of "Push Back"

It was a stealth campaign against the right to choose. It was a deceptive law we exposed and defeated ... this time. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that so-called "partial-birth abortion" bans are extreme and unconstitutional ... because they jeopardize women's health. But Roe vs. Wade is vulnerable, and the attacks on this fragile freedom will continue. Wake up. Help protect the right to choose. Contact the Center for Reproductive Law and Policy—lawyers who are defending the right to choose in courtrooms across the country.
