Vote on Stupak in Senate Imminent

Use the ACLU's Action Center to email Senators Burr and Hagan and ask them to vote NO on a Stupak type amendment.

Today, the Senate will debate an amendment that is virtually identical to the Stupak-Pitts language that was adopted in the House. Senators Hatch (R-UT) and Nelson (D-NE) offered the Stupak amendment – the abortion coverage ban – to the Senate health care reform legislation last night. The Senate has begun debate on the amendment and a vote is expected later today or tomorrow.

We must make sure that the Senate does not adopt a version of the Stupak Amendment, an unprecedented restriction on women’s access to abortion care, in its health care reform legislation. You have a critical role to play in the fight for women’s reproductive freedom in this country. We need everyone to let Senators Burr and Hagan know that we want health reforms that will protect reproductive freedom not put it in peril as the House did with its Stupak-Pitts amendment.

Email Senators Hagan and Burr and tell them to vote NO on the amendment.
