Tell politicians they don't know what it's like to walk in our shoes!

This month marks the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that legalized reproductive health care in our country and put the decision whether to have an abortion right where it belongs — with women. But if the last two years of attacks is any indication, the right granted by Roe is not a given — in fact, it's at stake as we speak.
Everyone's life is different... especially when it comes to reproductive health. Yet some politicians are trying to make personal decisions for us as if they had ever walked a mile in our shoes.
Help the This Is Personal campaign (created by the National Women's Law Center) and supported by CLUW and other allied organizations tell politicians they don't know what it's like to walk in our shoes. Post a picture of your shoes to the campaign's Not In Her Shoes Tumblr and let us know why you are unique and committed to protecting reproductive health care.
It's time to take a stand and tell opponents they don't belong in our shoes, doctor's offices or bedrooms. And it's time we get more women across the country involved in this fight by grabbing their attention with Not in Her Shoes.
Join the effort by sharing a photo of your shoes and telling us your experiences and personal stories to celebrate that we walk our own paths. When you post a picture of your shoes tell us about your situation. Why do you need reproductive health care? Why do you support keeping abortion safe and legal? What is important about keeping all reproductive health decisions personal?
It hasn't been an easy path for Roe these past 40 years, but because of people like you we are optimistic we'll be celebrating this special anniversary for decades to come.
And help us spread the word by sharing the Tumblr on Facebook and Twitter using the hash tag #notinhershoes
Please forward this email to your friends, family, and co-workers.
Thanks for everything you do to protect women's reproductive health.
