CALL YOUR SENATORS AND THEN CALL A FEW MORE--NOT IN YOUR STATE!
The Harry Reid version of Health Care Reform DOES NOT include the Stupak amendment or any similar amendment that would at least prevent elective abortions from being covered in universal health insurance policies. THUS--the senate version--for this reason alone-- MUST be opposed. Your voice needs to be heard.

Senator Harry Reid's version of the senate bill on universal health care coverage would lead to the biggest expansion of abortion in 30 years.
Tell your Senator to vigorously oppose Reidcare.
Here are a few of its problems:
-- A public option authorized to use taxpayer dollars to pay for abortions
-- Taxpayer dollars are poured into health plans that cover elective abortions
-- No protections for insurance firms not wanting to cover abortions
Before the legislation can be debated in the Senate, Harry Reid must marshal 60 votes to oppose a filibuster against the motion to proceed.
Tell your Senator to vote against the motion to proceed.
The bill is the most vulnerable at this early stage of the legislative process.
A recent CNN poll found that 61% of Americans strongly oppose allowing their tax dollars to fund abortions while only 37% supported it.
