AGENCY AND MISSION RELATED PROJECTS: SINCE 1971, MFP'S PUBLIC AFFAIRS STAFF HAS WORKED TO PROTECT THE REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS OF ALL MAINE CITIZENS. MFP IS FOUNDED ON THE PREMISE THAT MAINERS MUST HAVE ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE AND INFORMATION IN ORDER TO CONTROL THEIR REPRODUCTIVE LIVES. MFP'S PUBLIC AFFAIRS EFFORTS ARE DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND PROTECT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES STATEWIDE TO ENSURE AFFORDABLE ACCESS TO SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICES. EACH NEW LEGISLATIVE SESSION BRINGS NEW LEGISLATORS THAT REQUIRE EDUCATION TO DISPEL MYTHS ABOUT REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE AND RIGHTS, AND TO HELP THEM RECOGNIZE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE AS BASIC HEALTH CARE, RATHER THAN SIMPLY A POLITICAL ISSUE. WE CONTINUE TO RELY ON A STRONG NETWORK OF PRO-CHOICE, PRO-FAMILY PLANNING GRASSROOTS ACTIVISTS WHO COMMUNICATE VERY POWERFULLY WITH THEIR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE VIGILANT IN PROTECTING AND EXPANDING ACCESS TO THE FULL RANGE OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL WOMEN, MEN AND TEENS IN MAINE.
