Tell President Obama:
Safeguard Women's Health,
Don't Ban Abortion Coverage

Watch these real-life stories:

These are stories of real uninsured pregnant women with pre-existing medical conditions who recently sought the assistance of the National Network of Abortion Funds or members of Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health. To protect their confidentiality, their stories are told by actors.

Now send a message to President Obama

Here's a sample message which you can select, copy, then paste in the message box below. Or write your own message in the box below.

Dear President Obama,

You promised us that health reform would end the repugnant practice of denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. But then your administration did the exact opposite by imposing a harmful and legally-unnecessary ban on abortion coverage in the special Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plans. 

Health reform should safeguard women’s health, not deny coverage to women with serious medical conditions who must end pregnancies that are threatening their health. As a supporter of health reform, I urge you to remove the abortion restrictions in the Pre-existing Conditions Insurance Plans.
