Voter Guide

Very often, candidates do not give the public all the information they need to make informed decisions on Election Day, and many anti-choice candidates try to hide their true agendas until after the election.

To combat this, PPHP Action Fund provides voters with information about where their candidates stand on reproductive health issues through a ratings system.

The 2009 PPHP Action Fund Voter Guide is a compilation of confidential responses to our candidate questionnaire, public statements made by the candidate, and/or past voting records, where applicable.

In addition to rating the candidates, PPHP Action Fund endorses a select group of candidates who explicitly affirm support for every woman's right to decide whether and when to have a child. This affirmation includes unequivocal support for access to the full range of reproductive and sexual health care services that may be needed throughout a woman's lifetime to insure the health and well being of women and their families. The Action Fund’s endorsements are non-partisan.
