There has been much discussion about what the “real-life” impact of the Stupak-Pitts amendment would be on women’s access to abortion care. The following is an explanation of what this provision will mean to women, if it is enacted.

Claire, if you really wanted to end abortion, you should put your efforts into birth control.

Birth control prevents pregnancy, wouldn't that prevent abortion?

laire, actually the goal is to prevent unplanned pregnancy through education and access to birth control/condoms/etc.

In addition, research has shown that abortion occurs at roughly equal rates whether it is legal or illegal http://www.guttmacher.org/media/nr/2009/10/13/index.html. This means the number of abortions will not go down, but the number of unsafe, illegal ones will go up.

Planned Parenthood of North Texas The Stupak attack means millions of women will lose private coverage for abortion services and millions more would be prohibited from buying it even with their own money. This is essentially a middle-class abortion ban that threatens to undermine Roe v. Wade.

us down last night when they passed a health care reform bill that
undercuts women’s access to comprehensive health care. We can’t let it
happen in the Senate. Ask President Obama to stand up for women’s
health care.

Bobby Rodriguez Glad I found this site. Have just about had enough of right wing rhetoric against planned parenthood. About died when I was told that the Komen Foundation was all about abortion. Glad PP was there when my wife and I needed your help.
