As we all prepare for the next steps in the fight to stop abortion restrictions in health care reform, one critical question remains unanswered:
Why did 20 pro-choice House Democrats vote to approve the Stupak amendment, the most serious assault on abortion rights in a generation?
Advocates for Youth is partnering with CREDO Action to send these Democrats a message.
Sign our petition and CREDO Action will send a coat hanger to the 20 formerly pro-choice Democrats who voted to take away women's rights.
