National Youth Advocacy Coalition message

NYAC e-message

Take action to support women's health care rights

This week the Senate is debating their version of the health care reform act. Conservatives are trying to use the Stupak-Pitts Amendment as an opportunity to use health care reform to deny millions of women access to abortion coverage. However, abortion is a personal decision and a private matter between women and their health care provider, and not one that should be politicized in health care reform. Health care reform should increase our access to care, not further restrict it. Click here to take action!
