[Guest guest]

The Texas Campaign for Women’s Health is committed to seeing that the women of Texas have access to the care necessary to insure their health and well-being, and to securing new funding so that more low-income adult women in Texas have access to mammography, testing and ambulatory treatment for cervical cancer, diagnosis and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, birth control, osteoporosis prevention education and hormone replacement therapy.

Fewer unintended pregnancies and Medicaid paid births, Lower abortion rates, Decreased financial burden on local community health care resources, and Decrease in incidence of the accompanying health and social risks of unintended pregnancies, such as delayed prenatal care, low-birth weight babies, child abuse or neglect and family violence.

This is always a very uplifting Conference for TX Women & we encourage you to attend. Please let me know if you would like to attend this Conference and the previous one regarding Protex ... Protecting TX1

Rod and I, as well as Craig & friend always attend these meetings, and find unbelievable ways we can indeed protect our state of TX against corporate greed, and many ways to help the women's health issue in this state!

We urge all Texans to attend!
