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:

What: Phone Bank to Stop the Abortion Coverage Ban in Health Care Reform
When: Tuesday, November 17 and Thursday, November 19, 6:00pm-9:00pm
Where: NARAL Pro-Choice New York, 470 Park Avenue South, 7th Floor, NYC
You can also phone bank from home, using our web-case system. All you need is a computer with high-speed internet access and a phone. You will get log-in information and all materials when you RSVP.
