Letter to send with the Coat Hangers

Here is a simple letter to include with the Coat Hangers you send to your Senators if you do not wish to write your own.

Dear Senator ___________,

I was appalled at the passing of the Stupak/Pitts Amendment and the subsequent passing of the Health Care Reform Bill (HR 3962) in the US House of Representatives. As the Health Care Reform Bill moves to the Senate for discussion, mark-up and debate, please take into consideration the thoughts and opinion of this voting constituent.

The Stupak/Pitts Amendment seriously compromises a woman’s ability to seek reproductive health care. This hanger represents a reminder to you not to put women in a position where they once again have to seek coat hanger abortions because they cannot afford to obtain safe, legal abortions that are guaranteed under Roe v Wade and covered by their insurance.

I am asking you to vote NO on any health care reform bill that includes any part of the Stupak/Pitts Amendment or any measure that restricts how women obtain medical care and procedures in the area of reproductive health.


Respectfully,
