House Democratic leaders will allow an up-or-down vote on the Stupak/Pitts amendment, which seeks to block even private insurance plans from funding abortion care.
In other words, this amendment, if passed and included in a final health reform bill, would block you from getting insurance to cover legal procedures in the United States of America, with premiums paid with your personal funds. Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the National Women’s Law Center and other groups are calling for immediate action against the amendment
if you are in the DC area and want to get involved, there is a protest being organized right now against the Stupak amendment. “March start time is TBA but it will start at F Street and New Jersey (at the Washington Court Hotel) and will end in a press conference outside the Capitol.” the person organizing the march is @SisterSong on twitter. follow her and try to get involved if you can!
