prochoice_marylandGo to here to sign the petition calling on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to save abortion coverage and ensure that the same ban is not included in the Senate’s bill.
If the Senate accepts the same Stupak-Pitts amendment that passed in the House health care reform bill:
-It will be virtually impossible for private insurance companies that participate in the new system to offer abortion coverage to women.
-This would have the effect of denying women the right to use their own personal, private funds to purchase an insurance plan with abortion coverage in the new health system — a radical departure from the status quo. Presently, more than 85 percent of private insurance plans cover abortion services
