The anti-choice politicians running the U.S. House of Representatives are out of control – they’ve declared a War on Women.
They are working to end insurance coverage for abortion and make it as difficult as possible for any woman to access this care – even if it is necessary to save her life.

We’re fighting against a War on Women, and need your help to stop the attacks.
H.R.3 is one of two bills where anti-choice politicians tried to redefine rape. Thanks to massive public outcry, our opponents backed down on that front. But even without a rape-related provision, these two bills could change women’s access to abortion forever.
**H.R.3 would effectively block private-insurance plans from covering abortion care in the new health-care system and impose tax penalties on small-business owners and some other individuals who purchase private-insurance plans that cover abortion.
**H.R.358 would allow hospitals to refuse to provide abortion care, even when necessary to save a woman’s life.
Tell your representative that this anti-choice agenda goes way too far. http://site.pfaw.org/site/R?i=I4DeHZznx42daIUejRXEFA..
Congress introduces a lot of bills that, frankly, don’t go anywhere. But both of these bills are moving quickly and have been passed by key committees. H.R.3 just gained 221 cosponsors, which is enough to push the bill straight to a vote in the full House.
We cannot let these anti-choice attacks go unanswered. Please send an email to your member of Congress and help us oppose H.R.3 and H.R.358.

Young people have moved away from home or as College-aged kids often don’t have a place to turn to… Planned Parenthood helped a whole lot of people in the late ’70s and ’80s make good choices that would have taken them into dire straights as too young inexperienced parents. and while they had options with planned parenthood … This organization does much much more to help the community of all who inhabit it, so tell your member of Congress having Planned Parenthood in your community is so needed as a Choice because it’s all about Choices… A woman has a right to choose! Women should also have access to afforded healthcare that this organization also offers …The idea that members of the right don’t agree with this is beyond confusing

Over the last several days, we’ve received many calls and emails from UCS members and supporters asking about the current crisis involving several of Japan‘s nuclear power reactors. Like most of you, we are deeply saddened by the terrible tragedy of last week’s earthquake and tsunami, and our hearts go out to the many victims.
The massive earthquake and tsunami off the coast of Japan have caused a potentially catastrophic situation at multiple nuclear power facilities. The situation is still evolving.
http://action.ucsusa.org/site/R?i=sgQWt4U0rHXeUSbxGoVFDw..
For more than 40 years, UCS has served as a nuclear safety watchdog and a reliable, independent source of information on nuclear power technology and its risks. UCS technical experts are working hard to provide timely, updated analysis of what is happening at the stricken facilities and what the implications may be.
You can find regular updates on our blog “All Things Nuclear” and learn about why events have unfolded in the way they have, where the situation may be headed, and what it may mean for the people around the facilities and the environment. http://action.ucsusa.org/site/R?i=rD2ht7Iwc6iSgCvOO27XpA..
We are also being called on frequently by a wide range of media outlets to provide independent, unbiased information and analysis about the rapidly changing situation on the ground.
For more information, see our Nuclear Accident ABCs factsheet, which provides background information on nuclear accidents and explains some of the terms frequently being used in media reports about the crisis.

As events unfold in Japan, we will be regularly updating the UCS website with our most current assessment of conditions at the affected facilities.

Last year I helped lead the effort to overturn “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” and I’m thrilled that very soon, LGBT Americans will be able to serve openly in our armed forces. This is a big victory for equality, but there’s still so far we have yet to go.
I believe every American should be able to marry the person they love. Yet in 1996, the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (or DOMA) codified the discriminatory notion that marriage is only between a man and a woman.
DOMA denies same-sex couples the basic privileges enjoyed by straight couples, and prevents state-approved legal marriages from being recognized across the country.
This is wrong.
If we are to achieve full marriage equality for all, Congress must repeal DOMA now.
That’s why I’m proud to partner with Democracy for America to make sure the repeal of DOMA becomes a reality.
http://act.democracyforamerica.com/go/561?akid=577.1480546.tmfy-d&t=1
Recently, President Obama ordered the Justice Department to stop defending DOMA in federal court. This is a huge first step, but the fact is that as long as DOMA remains on the books it will continue to be enforced until Congress repeals it legislatively.
Tomorrow, I will join Senator Feinstein as we introduce DOMA repeal legislation in the U.S. Senate.
Can I count on you to join us on the frontlines of this fight?
Please sign here to join the fight for marriage equality by urging Congress to repeal this discriminatory and unconstitutional law. >> http://act.democracyforamerica.com/go/561?akid=577.1480546.tmfy-d&t=2
It’s simply not right that my husband and I should be able to enjoy rights and privileges that LGBT Americans are denied.
Thank you for everything you do to ensure marriage equality for all Americans,
– Kirsten
