WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?
The House of Representatives is set to vote this Thursday on H.R. 358, the so-called "Protect Life Act", which would deny emergency abortion care to women — even if their lives are in danger. If it passes, this bill would allow hospitals to simply turn away a pregnant woman experiencing a life-threatening complication without further regard for her health or well-being. In addition to permitting hospitals to simply abandon women whose lives are on the line, this legislation would effectively ban insurance coverage of abortion in the new health care system — taking away insurance coverage that millions of women already have.
It is urgent that you act right now to keep this bill from becoming law. Tell your representative to vote NO on H.R. 358.
