Just a civil rights reminder....

Some interesting posts over at [livejournal.com profile] neadods's site. And you thought people in Texas were nuts. No, this doesn't affect you now. In Brazil it's already law. Wealthy women leave the country for an abortion, even an early abortion. Poor women die of illegal abortions.

Stupak petition --

The polite version of carrying in hangers to your congress critter:

"On November 7, the House passed the Stupak Amendment to their health care reform bill, representing one of the biggest setbacks to women’s health in recent decades – unless we stand together and stop it.

That's why I just signed the petition Senator Barbara Boxer has launched at www.FightForWomensHealth.com, calling for the removal of the Stupak Amendment from any bill that reaches the President's desk.

The House amendment would tell women who participate in the new health insurance exchange that they can't even use their own funds to buy a policy that offers abortion coverage.

In short, the Stupak Amendment would take away health insurance coverage that women already have. This is a huge step back for women’s health.

Join me and Senator Boxer at www.FightForWomensHealth.com today!"

Yes -- this amendment actually DOES take away current legal health care rights.
