Banning abortion in the private health-insurance market has become the anti-choice movement's number one goal in health-care reform, and they are using lies and distortions to achieve it:
Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue, told Congressional staffers that "extremists would retaliate with violence" if Congress doesn't ban abortion in the new health-care system.
Anti-choice extremists at the Family Research Council are launching an outrageous media and lobbying campaign claiming that Congress' health-care reform bills will deny seniors the medical care they need in order to pay for abortion. (http://www.factcheck.org/2009/07/surgery-for-seniors-vs-abortions/)
Anti-choice lawmakers have filed 36 anti-choice amendments in committee, including Senator Tom Coburn's outrageous "Office of Unborn Children's Health."
A group of anti-choice Democrats has vowed to bring down health-care reform unless it bans abortion care currently covered by most health plans.
If they have their way, women could lose coverage for reproductive-health care -- even if their private health insurance already covers it!
Tell your lawmakers to oppose ANY anti-choice attacks on health-care legislation, including attempts to take away coverage from women who already have it in their private-insurance plans.
We took action on “Don't Let Women Lose Reproductive-Health Coverage”!

No compromise language that would interfere in any manner with a woman's reproductive rights are acceptable to me.

Health care is not to played with a cat and a string if politicians are willing to deny reproductive-health care this act can be defined as Un-American. Personal beliefs do not belong in decision making especially when peoples lives are being dealt with.

Not only do the Republicans need to stop their march on our liberties, Democrats need to jump back to their side of the moderate line and stop this nonsense.
Another two years and we're going to be in a serious mess.

No one should loose their health care.
If a company an no longer afford the insurance then the owner of the companies should find health care that the employees can afford or raise their pay since the employer is no longer paying for the insurance.

This is an unfair attempt to limit womens health care coverage, which is already in many cases more expensive than the same plan for a man.

Please, let us not believe, let us, instead, study, grow into the promise of you, the promise of reality, the promise of real change. Let not the only change from the sinkng bipartisansip be, what's left trickling down after the republican conspiracy vacuums up all the dollars! That means no trigger. As well, please, advocate for singlepayer healthcare, with Community First Choice Option and CLASS Act (Community Choice Act for the handicapped, elderly, autistic, disabled, etc.); H.R. 676 & S. 703, are the best of the lot, so far; i.m.h.o.. reality
