Senate Tables Debate on Stupak Amendment

The Senate just voted to table the Hatch-Nelson amendment which was virtually identical to the Stupak Amendment passed by the House. Tabling the amendment effectively kills it so it cannot be considered again by the Senate. The amendment, which was an unprecedented restriction of women's access to abortion care, was tabled by a vote of 54-45.

This win is thanks to every person who contacted their Senator or participated in the Stop Stupak Day of Action and stood up for women's rights and reproductive freedom.
