I have just emailed the following to the members of the Senate Finance Committee -- short and sweet: I understand that the Senate Finance Committee is contemplating several avenues for gaining bipartisan support of a health care reform bill. I am writing to voice my protest of any bill that compromises on critical women's health needs, including any limitation of access to abortion. All insurance plans in the Health Insurance Exchange must cover comprehensive care for women, which includes abortion services. I urge you to protect women's rights and women's lives in the course of your work toward health care reform. Thank you kindly for your consideration. Sincerely, Let's all make our voices heard!
