Excellent Job SJB!

Thank you SJB for presenting this petition to Ralph Nader!
I wish we could have a petition regarding education and informed consent for the 750,000 plus hysterectomies performed ANNUALLY in USA. It would be wonderful if we had statistics on the number of "unfortunate outcomes" from that surgery also. Guess that would be too radical a move...to actually inform women BEFORE they are mutilated!
Thank you for working so hard to increase the awareness of what is happening to women's bodies in the MEDICAL INDUSTRY! Much Gratitude, Gail W.

Take the Tubal Ligation I.Q. Test Are you outraged? Feel as though you and other women were not (are not) being informed? Think that a class action lawsuit should be filed on behalf of post tubal women because information was and still is being withheld by the ACOG! The CPTwomen invites all reading this forum to join the CPTwomen and communicate with us at the members' forum. All posting here and conversation here has been moved to the members' forum.

CPTwomen members have testified in front of the IL and CA Court, the IL Gov. Task Force, the Sunset Review Committee, (Senator Liz Figueroa), NOW, and more. What occurred has been made a matter of public record. The CPTwomen are making public the issues which millions of other women have faced in silence. Issues such as women are not informed at the time of their tubal ligation that there is a risk of hormonal imbalance occurring. For the CPTwomen to continue its mission to move this issue to the forefront of government, we must ask for a small contribution/subscription fee from all those who wish to communicate with us and participate at the Coalition's Bulletin Board
