WOMEN'S HEALTH & NIH

  1. Women’s legal and safe right to make decisions about their own bodies must be protected. Everywhere across America.
  2. See #1, above.
  3. The NIH, which largely drives basic biomedical research, must redouble its commitment that ALL Federally-funded health research, paid for by (underpaid) female and (less-underpaid) male taxpayers, - that all such research focus equally on women and men.

Men’s and women’s bodies and factors for health are not identical. In the past, researchers (mostly male) often ignored the importance of this fact.

We’ve made progress fixing that. Let’s keep it up.
