EMail Update From Sen. Boxer to DEFEAT STUPAK

Here is an Email Update from Sen. Boxer CA with a petition action to DEFEAT STUPAK's BACK-DOOR ABORTION PROHIBITION amendment....And if that doesn't work here is a suggestion and challenge to all WOMEN OF AMERICA: If you are PRO-CHOICE WOMEN, make a pledge to PUT YOUR LADY PARTS ON LOCKDOWN, then the only women who might need an abortion will BE THOSE WOMEN TRYING TO KILL CHOICE for ALL WOMEN!!

And a personal message to Mrs. Laurie Stupak, wife of Rep. Bart Stupak from LLPrater:

Mrs. Stupak, Please take YOUR LADY PARTS off the shelf and clean out the cobwebs, SO YOUR HUSBAND WILL KEEP HIS HANDS OUT OF MINE!!!

Dear Laura Lynne,
Ten days ago, the House passed the Stupak Amendment, which would be one of the biggest setbacks to women's health in recent decades - unless we stand together and stop it.

That's why we are launching a petition at www.FightForWomensHealth.com, because women must not be denied access to safe and legal medical procedures.

Will you join us? Click here to stand with us to protect women's health and help remove the anti-choice Stupak Amendment from the final health care reform bill:

www.FightForWomensHealth.com

For decades, a very difficult and delicate compromise has held firm: Women can use their own private funds for legal reproductive health care procedures, but federal funds cannot be used for abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or to protect the life of the mother.

But in a stunning turn of events, anti-choice House members passed the Stupak Amendment as part of the health care reform bill and shattered that compromise.

The House amendment would tell women who participate in the new health insurance exchange that they can't even use their own funds to buy a policy that includes abortion coverage.

In short, the Stupak Amendment would take away health insurance coverage that women already have. This would be a huge step back for women's health.

You know I will be there speaking out on this issue at every stage of the process and everywhere I can. But as the details of the Senate's health care bill are worked out, we need to be sure that all our voices are heard clearly on this issue.

Please stand with us to protect women's health and help remove the Stupak Amendment from the final health care bill. Sign our petition now.

The Stupak Amendment is dangerous and unnecessary.

The original health reform bill did not change current abortion policy and already had a prohibition on the use of federal funds to pay for abortion services.

But that wasn't good enough for the anti-choice forces. They want to use health care reform as an excuse to turn back the clock on women's health. We need to speak out now.

How can we tell women that they will lose coverage that they already have? How can we tell women that they can't buy insurance coverage for a legal health care procedure, even if it's paid for with their own money?

The Stupak Amendment is discriminatory, extreme, and just plain wrong.

We cannot let it stand. Sign our petition now.

Thank you so much for joining us in this critical fight for women's health.

In friendship,

Barbara Boxer
U.S. Senator
