47 State University of New York $23,043 Center for Women in Government Albany, New York Judith Saidel, Executive Director New York State legalized abortion in 1970, three years before the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision. Since that time New York has remained a leader in protecting the reproductive rights of poor women and teens by providing Medicaid coverage for reproductive health care, and turning back anti-choice efforts to require minors to obtain parental consent before receiving an abortion. However, in recent years the Catholic Conference and the Christian Coalition have become increasingly influential in Albany. Last year, for the first time since 1978, the State Senate passed a bill restricting minors' access to abortion. In order to counter this influence and strengthen pro-choice advocacy on the state level, a graduate fellow from the Center for Women in Government at the State University of New York State will work with Family Planning Advocates of New York State to organize a Reproductive Health Clergy Network. The Network will inform pro-choice clergy about reproductive health policy debates and assist them in conveying a religious pro-choice perspective to policymakers and the press. Our grant is in support of this work. Voters for Choice Education Fund $40,000 Washington, D.C. Julie Burton, Executive Director The Voters for Choice Education Fund was founded in 1992 by Gloria Steinem in response to the growing political power of the anti-choice right wing. The Fund was created to identify and register pro-choice women to vote, to train young pro-choice activists, and to encourage and support the development of pro-choice candidates for public office. Last year, galvanized by the 1994 elections, pro-choice activists working with the Fund mounted the Pipeline to Power Project. This year, the Project will educate local legislators and high school and college-age women about reproductive rights issues. In order to design effective public education campaigns, project staff will conduct focus groups and a national survey of young adults' views on these issues. The Project will also expand its voter registration and voter education efforts targeted at young women and women of color. Our grant is in support of this work.
48 Women's Legal Defense Fund Washington, D.C. Judith L. Lichtman, President $40,000 The Women's Legal Defense Fund was founded in 1971 and is now a leading national advocate of women's legal rights. Three years ago, WLDF expanded its ongoing efforts in support of women's reproductive rights to address the threats and opportunities posed by national and state health care reform initiatives. In the wake of the 1994 elections, WLDF has been working to combat new state and federal restrictions on women's access to abortion and family planning services. During the coming year, the WLDF Women's Health Project will intensify its efforts at the national level to preserve funding for and access to comprehensive reproductive health services. Project staff will provide information, analysis, and technical assistance to policymakers, the press, and other advocates. In particular, they will disseminate information about the negative impact on women's health of proposals to ban certain late-term abortions, eliminate government funding for abortion, and otherwise limit the availability of abortion services. WLDF will also help develop litigation strategies and amicus briefs for cases challenging laws that restrict women's access to reproductive health care. Our grant is in support of this work.
