On Thursday the anti-choice forces introduced an egregious anti-choice amendment to the bill that funds our state’s health program for low-income people.
That’s right; it was a Stupak/Pitts-type amendment to a program that doesn’t even cover abortion. Fortunately, the amendment was defeated by a tied vote and the bill went on to approval 125 to 9.
This type of amendment is why we need so many pro-choice legislators at the Capitol, and why your elected representatives need to know where you stand on the right to choose.
We have the perfect opportunity for you to then thank your representative or voice your outrage!
Join us on March 4 for our Pro-Choice Lobby Day! Spend the morning with us, and you can personally thank the representatives who stood strong against this type of political nonsense or let those who voted the wrong way know how disappointed you are.
Visit ProChoiceLobbyDay.org to learn more and RSVP!
