How does it feel knowing what a difference you made for the many Faces of Diabetes in 2012?
I bet it feels something like this…
Your support helped us reach our $1 million end of year fundraising goal. And thanks to your generosity, the American Diabetes Association accomplished more than we ever thought possible for the many Faces of Diabetes in 2012. Here are just a few of the amazing achievements made possible with your help:
In Georgia, Washington and Florida, bills have been signed into law to make sure schools are safe for children with diabetes;
We began research on how to manage diabetes during pregnancy to prevent the future onset of diabetes in children;
Started insulin gene therapy research for type 1 diabetes;
Fought for new protections under the Affordable Care Act, including access to free preventative care and prohibiting discrimination against children and teens because of diabetes;
More than 60,000 people attended our free American Diabetes Association EXPO® events to receive life-saving diabetes and health information and advice.
Thank you for everything you’ve helped us accomplish in 2012. And for the many millions of people you’re going to help this year.
Unconscionable — that’s the only way to describe an extreme policy that denies servicewomen and military dependents coverage for abortion services if they become pregnant as the result of rape. To add insult to injury, their civilian counterparts who also get their health insurance through the federal government do not face the same cruel policy.
Do your duty: tell your Members of Congress to end the outrageous abortion coverage ban for servicewomen and military dependents who have been raped or endured incest.
Congress will soon finalize the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Thanks to Senator Shaheen, they’ll have the opportunity to pass a version of the bill which removes this abhorrent ban, but some anti-choice Members of Congress who are willing to play politics with the women that serve this nation are standing in the way of ending this unjust ban.
This policy is simply wrong. We need your voice to end it today: tell Congress to end the abortion coverage ban for servicewomen and military dependents who become pregnant due to rape or incest.
Thank you for continuing to protect women’s reproductive health.
P.S. Your support allows us to continue to fight for women’s health, as well as work on many other critical issues. Please consider making a generous donation today.
