Erin Bilbray-Kohn:
Dear President Obama,
I'm a mother of two young daughters:
Daisy is six and Caroline is almost ten. My six-year-old would like to
be a doctor for dolphins and my ten-year-old dreams of becoming a jet
fighter pilot.
Caroline is so committed to her dream that she sets her alarm at 5:00
every morning so she'll be prepared for her military service.
I
love that my daughters dream so big and see no limits to their future.
Watching their dreams unfold every day is one of the unique pleasures
of
being a mom.
It is upsetting to me that in 2012 the use of birth
control has become controversial. Birth control isn't just for family
planning; it's preventative care and treatment, it's medication that
most women need and use at some point in their lives. And it is as
common in a woman's medicine cabinet as cough medicine.
Beyond
that it's a woman's right to make decisions about her own body and her
own life. This is just one reason I'm so passionate about getting you
re-elected this year. We need a President who will stand up for women's
health and stay focused on jobs and the economic recovery. The dreams
of
all our daughters are at stake. And they're counting on us to fight for
them.
Sincerely,
Erin Bilbray-Kohn
