This regressive posing as a Democrat needs swift and severe punishment.

Rep. Bart Stupak’s amendment to health care reform will effectively prohibit insurance companies from covering most women’s abortions.

If Planned Parenthood and NARAL are just going to lie down and let access to reproductive health legislation to be written by Catholic bishops, I guess they think that’s in the best interest of the women who donate to their respective organizations.

But I wonder if Bart Stupak’s donors want to be associated with his anti-choice activism? Many PACS that donated to Stupak this year have a pretty heavy investment in consumer branding that appeals to women. Check out the list below.

Let us know what they say in the box to the left when you call. Thanks again for your help.

1. kick. Stupak et. al. abuse their offices. They don't care about fetuses else they'd support

increasing maternal health care, day care, pre-school, child health, etc. This is all a sham under the guise of earning points in heaven. Fat chance.

2. Kicking the HELL out of this. WE MUST REMOVE THESE REPRESSIVE BASTARDS FROM POWER.
