Health care reform is about expanding access to health care—not taking coverage away.    Our CEO, Janet Colm, had an oped “Healthcare reform without abortion coverage is unfair”  published in the Durham Herald.  Here’s an excerpt:

The Stupak Ban is not about public funding for abortion. It’s certainly not about improving health care for women or any other group. It is about undermining women’s reproductive health care options in order to push a broader anti-choice agenda.

We are doing everything in our power to ensure that the Stupak Amendment does not make it into the final bill. But we can’t do it without your help.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
