They voted to repeal the health care law. They even tried to deny abortions to some rape survivors. You won’t believe what House Speaker John Boehner and his colleagues have up their sleeve now.

We told you already about how Speaker Boehner and the rest of the House Republican leadership released a fiscal plan for the remainder of 2011 that puts women and families in danger. Now they’re trying to amend this plan to continue to attack the health care law by cutting funding for its implementation. Plus, they’re attacking women’s access to contraception.

We’ve got to stop them. Tell your Member of Congress to oppose harmful amendments that put women’s health at risk.    Call 202-224-3121

What exactly is on the line? Let me just give you a few examples of what some who “represent” us think is okay to propose:

“Defund” the health care law, which would undermine many important provisions like access to health coverage for people who have pre-existing conditions;

Deny millions of women access to family planning by eliminating funding for the Title X family planning programs and making it harder for states to give these services to low-income women;

Ban all federal funds for all Planned Parenthood health centers which would deny millions of women access to their trusted health care provider; and

Maintain a controversial Bush-era regulation that allows providers to refuse a wide range of health care services, information, counseling, and referrals.

And sadly, this list just scratches the surface.

You have helped us stop the House leadership from denying abortions to some rape survivors and prevented the Senate from repealing the health care law. Now we need your help again. Help us stop the attack on women’s health.

Thank you for all you do.

Sincerely,

Judy Waxman

Vice President for Health and Reproductive Rights
