WATCH OUR VIDEO AND TELL CONGRESS THAT WOMEN'S HEALTH CARE NEEDS ARE NO JOKE!
This is a do-or-die moment. We are fighting back in the war on women's health care needs and rights -- will you help?
The ad features stand-up comic Cory Kahaney of Last Comic Standing and puts forth a simple principle: When you need medical care, your insurance should be there to pay for it.
Last week in the House, the harmful and dangerous Stupak-Pitts Amendment passed as part of the healthcare reform bill. The Senate is expected to debate a similar amendment on the floor as part of its health reform debate.
The amendment tramples on women's health care needs and violates President Obama's promise that women will be able to keep the insurance coverage that they have today.
A majority of private insurance plans today provide coverage for abortion. But if our opponents win, it will be virtually impossible for private insurance companies that participate in the new healthcare reform to offer abortion coverage to women.
Stupak-Pitts must be stopped in the Senate. Tell Congress not to ban the healthcare coverage for abortion that millions of women already have.
And when you're done, send the video along to your friends and family asking them to act for women's health and support the Center's work to stop Stupak-Pitts.
We can -- and will -- win this fight.
Thanks, as always, for all you do,
