Congratulations to President-elect Obama and Vice President-elect Biden! Together, we made the difference!
Victory for Women's Health: Together We Did It!
The Planned Parenthood Action Fund celebrates the election of Barack Obama to the presidency. In President-elect Obama, our nation has a leader committed to women's rights and access to health care, including support for affordable birth control and commonsense, science-based sex education.
Voters also defeated dangerous, anti-choice ballot initiatives in California, Colorado, and South Dakota, and elected pro-choice leaders to Congress and statehouses across the country.
Our Successes
The Planned Parenthood Action Fund targeted almost 600,000 persuadable, pro-choice women voters in key states with a campaign of six mail pieces and one-on-one conversations on the phone and at the door.
We also reached an additional 500,000 women in key states regarding U.S. Senate races, and, with our sister organization, Planned Parenthood Votes, and local Planned Parenthood political organizations, supported the election of 60 state legislative candidates.
Finally, in the largest political program in the Planned Parenthood Action Fund’s history, we reached millions of women via television ads, viral Internet campaigns, and an aggressive earned media campaign with the message that women’s health matters, and so does their vote.

None of our work would have been possible without the help of our supporters and voters who stood with the Planned Parenthood Action Fund throughout this election. In the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, we've shown America that women's health does matter — on Election Day and every day.
THANK YOU!
