Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards has just sent the following emergency email.

Of course, pro-lifers should use the number Richards provides to call their rep to tell him/her to vote YES on the Stupak/Pitts pro-life amendment to the nationalized healthcare bill. [JLS note: Do NOT call Cecile's number! Call 202-224-3121 instead. Per reader Vicki: "The phone number in Richards' email leads to a recorded message from her. Then it rings forever and a message comes on that no one answered (DUH!). THEN, I got a text thanking me for speaking out for reproductive health care.]

And of course, Richards is lying. As I explained in my previous post:

This amendment keeps the status quo. It is identical to the current federal employees' insurance plan, which does not cover abortion., which is to say that currently a pregnant mother who works for the federal government and wants to abort is free to do with her own money.

Under the Stupak/Pitts amendment any low-income pregnant mother who would get her insurance through the government would have to do to the same. Or if she has a private insurance plan that is subsidized by the federal government, that private company could not pay for her abortion.
