The short explanation of this alert was:
SENATOR nelson STOOD UP FOR WOMEN, FOR CHOICE, AND FOR HEALTH CARE — SAY THANKS!
Great news — the Senate voted on the anti-choice Nelson/Hatch amendment to the health care reform bill, and we won! Unlike the Stupak amendment that passed the House of Representatives, this amendment did not pass the Senate!
As you likely know, Democratic Senator Ben Nelson and Republican Senator Orrin Hatch were behind the anti-choice amendment, and the language was virtually identical to the Stupak amendment. As we saw during the vote in the House of Representatives, anti-choice groups were lobbying hard to pass it. But, the Senate agreed with us this time: eliminating choice for millions of women with private health insurance is a price we can't afford to pay for passing health reform.
More good news: Senator Nelson voted with us to defeat this amendment. Will you take just a moment to say thanks? Legislators hear from us so often before a vote — hearing from us after, saying thank you, really matters. It only takes a moment — please complete the form below!
