Greetings,

You recieved a message from Planned Parenthood earlier this morning about a dangerous anti-choice amendment that will be up for a vote today.

Leonard Lance (R-7) is leaning anti-choice and has yet to commit to voting NO on the Stupak Amendment.  Please call him at his DC office and tell him to VOTE NO ON STUPAK’S AMENDMENT.  TALKING POINTS BELOW. 

We know you may have gotten several emails this morning but it is critical that Congressman Lance stands with the women of New Jersey.  He calls himself pro-choice but we need to hold his feet to the fire and ensure that he votes the right way. 

Leonard Lance:  202-225-5361

Thank you for all that you are doing!!


Stupak Anti-Abortion Amendment – Talking Points

* The core premise of health reform is that - if you like the coverage you have - you can keep it. Yet for the millions of women whose current insurance plans include coverage for abortion care, that promise may be broken.

*  Congressman Stupak wants to place new restrictions on abortion and deny women this coverage.

*  The House bill already contains a compromise that reflects the status quo & current law: It prohibits federal funds from being used for abortion but still allows women to use their own money to buy the coverage they need.

*  Vote NO on the Stupak amendment
