As a leading women's health care provider and advocate, Planned Parenthood of Montana knows firsthand the importance of making sure women are a priority in health care reform. That's why Planned Parenthood is working tirelessly to stand up for reproductive health as Congress continues to work on health care reform.

In addition to providing the essential health care that women and families across Montana depend on, PPMT has stepped up to the plate to make sure women's health has a seat at the health reform table. We all know that women must not be worse off after health care reform than they are now and, indeed, now is an opportunity to improve the lives of millions of American women. We need commonsense proposals that give women access to reproductive health care and the opportunity to go to their provider of choice. Across Montana, women are the primary health care providers and decision makers for their families and I applaud PPMT for speaking out about the need for real reform and for making women's health a priority.
