Phone Bank to Stop the Abortion Coverage Ban in Health Care Reform
Phone Banks at NARAL Pro-Choice NY this Tuesday and Thursday!
On Saturday, November 7th we watched as anti-choice politicians passed the Stupak-Pitts amendment to the health care reform bill, which will make it virtually impossible for private insurance companies that participate in the new system to offer abortion coverage to women. Now we need your help to stop the abortion coverage ban!
We will be calling pro-choice activists around the country urging them to contact their Senator(s) at this critical time. Join us for a phone bank:

Children's Health Stroller Brigade
Nov. 5th 11:00 am to 12:30 pm
Third Avenue at 47th Street
Congress is putting the finishing touches on health care reform legislation and it is astonishing that we are still begging to make sure children are better off, not worse off, in the end. The current proposals in Congress could actually weaken New York's child health insurance system. We need your help to send a strong and urgent message to Congress and the President that parents deserve the peace of mind that they can afford head-to-toe health coverage for their children and that it is easy to get and keep! This event is being co-sponsored by Citizen Action of New York.
