Update on health care reform

On Wednesday, the Senate Finance Committee voted 10-13 to defeat the Hatch Amendment. It would have explicitly prohibited federal funding and coverage of abortions. The AUL legal team has documented for you the facts behind their myth that the Hyde Amendment would adequately prevent federal funding and coverage of abortion in health care reform. At this crucial stage, the Congressional leadership is going to be negotiating backroom deals with your legislators. Please tell your congressman and senator you will only accept health care reform that includes an explicit prohibition on federal funding and coverage of abortion, much like the pro-life Stupak-Pitts and Hatch amendments that were defeated in Committees.
