Rep. Barbara Lee introduced The Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH Woman)

today!

AllAboveAll is tracking this and also trying to get people to contact their congress people to support this bill....
I entered info, and it said there was no contact available...my "person" is a rightwing teabagger, so maybe they are really
looking to focus on Democrats??

"The Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH Woman) Act, introduced today by Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) and supported by more than 60 Members of Congress, will lift the bans that deny abortion coverage.

This groundbreaking bill ensures that a woman’s decision about abortion will not be based on how much she earns or how she is insured.

For too long, politicians have used the Hyde Amendment to withhold insurance coverage of abortion and interfere in women’s health decisions. A woman who wants to get an abortion but is denied is more likely to fall into poverty than one who can get an abortion.

The EACH Woman Act can change that."

my rep doesn't come up...some glitch in their system, I guess...I tried several ways to enter the data with no luck...

Update...just emailed the creep, with a few other little things tossed in regarding the GOP hypocrisy about being anti "big government" and their love of cutting food and medical care funding...

I DID not check off the box to get on his list, but on the confirm page..It said I did!

He doesn't even listen to that request! Steve Pearce, teabagger piece of crap...

Thanks for the heads up--I will post in the WI group. In solidarity.

The Hyde Amendment is a scourge on womens rights.
