URGENT:  ANTI-CHOICE FORCES ARE HIJACKING HEALTH CARE REFORM

Anti-choice groups are trying to hijack health care reform, jeopardizing women's health for their own political agenda. And this time, the misinformation they spread could result in taking away existing benefits from women and denying them access to the trusted providers of their choice.

The bottom line: women's reproductive health care must be a priority, and that means women must not be worse off under health care reform. Reproductive health care must be covered and women must be able to access that care through providers they trust.

Without genuine access to reproductive health care, a woman's right to choose is made meaningless. Please join Planned Parenthood and CREDO in making it clear that this is a price American women aren't willing to pay — and should never be asked to pay. With Congress making decisions this very moment that will define the future of health care in America for a generation, we don't have a moment to waste.

I understand that you are making decisions right now about health care reform, and it has come to my attention that you are being pressured by groups to exclude reproductive health care, including abortion care, and limit a woman's ability to choose a health care provider she trusts.

I want to let you know that health care reform without full access to reproductive health care is no reform at all. Millions of women rely on community health care facilities that provide a full range of care to women and families who desperately need it.

I believe that excluding reproductive health care and the people who provide it is really just an attempt by anti-choice groups to eliminate a woman's right to choose.
 
The bottom line: women's basic health care must be a priority, and that means women must not be worse off under health care reform. Reproductive health care must be covered and women must be able to access that care through providers they trust.

Health care reform should INCREASE access to care, not DECREASE it. I will not support any reform plan that leaves women worse off than they are now.
