Tell Senator McCaskill: Stop Abortion Coverage Ban!
The House of Representatives passed health-reform legislation that included an anti-choice amendment that will seriously jeopardize women's access to abortion. The Stupak-Pitts amendment makes it virtually impossible for private insurance companies that participate in the new health system to offer abortion coverage to women. This would have the effect of denying women the right to use their own personal, private funds to purchase an insurance plan with abortion coverage in the new health system.
We, the undersigned, ask Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) to vote against a Senate bill that contains the anti-choice language of the Stupak amendment. Do not further entangle health-care reform in anti-abortion politics.
We hope you will stand with women as the health-care reform process moves forward. Thank you.
