The ad says:

NARAL also organized a Capitol Hill event yesterday, bringing together pro-choice members of Congress to learn more about Prevention First.

Nancy Keenan said, “I am proud to join these leaders in calling on Congress to focus on legislation that would make birth control, including the 'morning-after' pill, more affordable and accessible, ensure that our young people get honest, realistic sex education, and improve access to family-planning services...We are urging Speaker Hastert to put aside the divisive politics of the past and to allow votes on these commonsense measures, all of which enjoy broad public support from on both sides of the abortion debate. It's time for votes on the floor.”
