Health Care Reform- Day of Action

Everyone deserves health care.
Be sure your senator votes to cover women’s health care needs.
This week, the Senate started debating their version of health care reform. While COLAGE is excited about the prospect of health reform and the ways the bill creates unprecedented inclusion for LGBTQ peopel and families, we are disheartened by the anti-choice provisions and potential Amendments funding abstinence only education. Choice USA is organizing a National Call to Action (CLICK HERE)- and we invite our members to participate! Help make sure our senators take our voices to their fights on the floor.
The Stupak-Pitts Amendment passed at the last minute in the House version of health care reform. We don’t want the same thing to happen in the Senate. If language like Stupak’s makes it into the Senate bill, abortion will become all but impossible to access. We deserve better than this. Health care reform should increase our access to care, not further restrict it. Here’s what you can do to keep the Senate from Stupaking:
Join Choice USA’s National Call-In! Call your Senator at 1-888-423-5983. Step one: ask them to keep an anti-choice Amendment like Stupak’s from ending up in their bill. Step two: remind your Senator to strike down the Hatch’s abstinence-only funding Amendment. Our legislators need to know we’re still watching and that we will support a bill that equally supports women, young people and the LGBTQ community. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION.
