 <title>Preserve the Right to Choose - OLD</title>
 <link>http://www.paa-tx.org/node/401</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br &gt;&lt;strong &gt;Note:  This resolution has been merged with the one entitled &amp;quot;Preserve Reproductive Rights&amp;quot;. &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br &gt;&lt;br &gt;   Whereas, Termination of her pregnancy is one of the most serious, dreaded and deeply personal decisions a woman may ever face; and  Whereas, In our society all women and men have a right to make difficult moral decisions and personal choices; and  Whereas, Women will not be equal to men if this constitutionally protected right is denied; and  Whereas, Denying this right will not curtail abortions but will send desperate women to dangerous, unlicensed clinics; and  Whereas, The right to choose, as established by the U.S. Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, is now threatened, and  Whereas, Sex education programs, including more than &amp;quot;abstinence only&amp;quot; methods, as well as ready access to contraceptives, are fundamental in reducing unwanted pregnancies and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases; and  Whereas, Organizations dealing with HIV/AIDS prevention find it difficult or impossible to comply with the &amp;quot;global gag order&amp;quot; on abortion and have lost U.S. funding for condoms which would help reduce the HIV/AIDS epidemic; therefore, be it  Resolved, That candidates for U.S. Supreme Court judgeships demonstrate strong commitment to a woman&#039;s right to choose; and be it further  Resolved, That sex education concerning pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS prevention, as well as international family planning and HIV/AIDS programs, include comprehensive and realistic contraceptive methods; and be it further  Resolved, That abortion procedures be covered under health care programs.&lt;/p&gt;
