A Vote in the Senate is Imminent! Protect Women's Access to Abortion Care in Health Care Reform.
We have learned that Senators Hatch (R-UT) and Nelson (D-NE) will offer a Stupak amendment – the abortion coverage ban – to the Senate health care reform legislation as soon as Monday, December 7th. Although the timing of events is still in flux, we expect that the Senate will begin debate on the amendment on Monday and a vote will occur later that day or very soon thereafter.
We must make sure that the Senate does not adopt a version of the Stupak Amendment, an unprecedented restriction on women’s access to abortion care, in its health care reform legislation. You have a critical role to play in the fight for women’s reproductive freedom in this country. We need everyone to let their senators know that we want health reforms that will protect reproductive freedom not put it in peril as the House did with its Stupak-Pitts amendment.
Tell your senators to protect women’s ability to make private health care decisions without government interference. The moment has come to stop the abortion coverage ban in the Senate. You can also learn more here.
