Day of Action to Stop the Abortion-Coverage Ban
Join us to help stop the abortion-coverage ban! The House version of the health-reform bill includes the Stupak-Pitts amendment that makes it virtually impossible for private insurance companies that participate in the new system to offer abortion coverage to women. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and other anti-choice politicians have threatened to introduce a similar amendment to the Senate bill. We cannot let Sen. Hatch and his allies block women from purchasing—even with their own money—insurance that includes abortion coverage. NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts held a phonebank at our office in Boston to call our members in Rep. Richard Neal's district. Rep. Neal from Massachusetts voted for this extreme anti-choice provision, but there is still time to lobby him to oppose it in the final bill. We also held an online day of action and call-in day on December 2 so that anyone could join. Here are easy ways you can participate after December 2: - Write to your senators and tell them to to stop the abortion-coverage ban.
- Call your senators. Phone calls to Congress have an even greater impact than writing messages. It's easy and takes just a minute!
- Donate to help us stop the abortion-coverage ban and protect choice at all levels.
- Update your Facebook or MySpace status to "Call your senators today at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to oppose the abortion-coverage ban! Please repost this as YOUR status."
- On Twitter? Tweet to stop the abortion coverage ban and use the hashtag #StopStupak when you write about this issue. (And, of course, follow us if you don't already!)
