Health care reform continues to
make strides forward in Congress. So far,
every version of the bills out there right now are free of the
dangerous amendments anti-choice members of Congress have tried
to attach to health care reform.
As the legislation moves
closer to a vote, our job holding on to our reproductive health
victories is going to be hard.
An article
featured in the New York Times states that
Representative Bart Stupak
(D-MI), a leading abortion opponent, has obtained commitments
from 40 anti-choice Democrats to block the health care bill
unless they have a chance to include anti-choice restrictions.
We cannot let legislators hijack health care reform to eliminate
choice for women. Lawmakers need to hear from us now
until the very moment that we pass a health care bill that
protects women. WE NEED YOUR
HELP!
Planned
Parenthood Advocates of Oregon will join other our partners
across
the nation for a National Phone Drive on
Thursday, November 12th and Thursday, December
3rd from 10AM-1PM.

Using a
dialing system that will connect volunteers from all over the
country, we will link hundreds of supporters directly to the
offices of their elected officials, asking them to protect women, to protect our health care,
to protect our rights and not cave to the vocal minority.
PLEASE JOIN US!

If we
don't speak out, they could very well succeed — and women
will pay the price for a generation or
more.
To sign up, send your name, phone
number and the day(s) you can join us to kyle.white@ppcw.org or
call 503-280-6150 x2173.
