• Stop Stupak

  Stupak's back - holding health care hostage if he doesn't see more restrictions on women's reproductive rights. We must act now!

  Even though the Senate rejected Cong. Bart Stupak's initial language to prohibit millions of women from getting coverage for abortion in their health insurance, he's making one last ditch effort to get his provisions into the final health care bill. And, if he doesn't get his way, he's planning to derail health care reform altogether.  
   
  Stupak says that he and 11 other members of Congress will hold health care hostage if they don't see more restrictions made on women's rights -- restrictions that, like his earlier proposal, could go further than any previous federal law to restrict access to abortion. But we can't let that happen.
  
  We must fight back against Stupak's repeated dangerous assault on women's reproductive rights.
  
  When Stupak tried this the first time, we were proud of the women in Congress who stood up to him. We need to show our women we're standing right beside them.

• Stop Stupak

  Join EMILY's List now to stop the Stupak/Pitts Amendment.

  This amendment goes further than any previous federal law to restrict access to abortion - and it's up to us to ensure it is removed before the legislation is enacted into law.

  If we stand with the pro-choice Democratic women who are fighting against the Stupak/Pitts amendment, we will be the firewall against any new restrictions on a woman's right to choose. We must act now and tell Congress the Stupak/Pitts Amendment will cause women to lose coverage and should not be included in the final health care bill.

  We will not stand for health care reform that makes women less healthy and less safe.

• Stand With Nancy

  "Let's start getting Nancy ready for the firing line this November."

  That’s what RNC Chairman Michael Steele had to say about Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi this week. But we have something to say about it: Nancy, we’ve got your back.
  
  Speaker Pelosi has taken the lead as speaker, serving as not only the first woman speaker but also one of the strongest and most effective speakers we’ve ever had. We know how effective she is – and the GOP knows it, too.
  
  When challenged that his statement was too harsh, Steele wouldn’t back down. Nancy delivered historic health care legislation for America this week, and we will deliver for her.
  
  Stand with the most powerful woman -- no, the most powerful person -- in Congress by adding your name to StandWithNancy.com and tell Speaker Nancy Pelosi we have her back.
