Why This Is Important

WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE TO PASS HEALTH CARE REFORM
THAT SERVES WOMEN? LEADERSHIP.

Despite hundreds of thousands of voters like you and me who called on members of the House of Representatives to include women's health care in health care reform, the bill that passed late Saturday night includes a ban on private abortion coverage for millions of women and would prohibit it in the new "public option."

We can't let the Senate also betray women. It's time to use our strongest weapon: the White House.

President Obama campaigned on a promise to put reproductive health care at the center of his reform plan. Supporters of women's health voted for him and contributed to his campaign in record numbers — and now it's time for the president to reaffirm his commitment to women's health, and demand that Congress reject any bill that leaves women worse off under health care reform than they are today. Take a moment right now to remind President Obama to stand with us to protect women's health care today and every single day until reform is passed.

Please Support Womens' Reproductive Health Care

Dear Mr. President:

You campaigned on a promise to put reproductive health care at the center of your health care reform plan. Now it's time for you to make good on that commitment.

I am one of many who are outraged that the House of Representatives passed a bill that would make women worse off under health care reform than they are today. I am asking you to ensure that lawmakers, especially those in your party, support health care reform that protects women's access to reproductive care as the next round of debate and voting occurs in the Senate.

President Obama, without access to abortion care, and to comprehensive reproductive health care, there is no choice. I will not stand for that, and I need to know that you won't either.

Thank you,

[Your name]
