The National Organization for Women Political Action Committee is proud to announce our endorsement of Lois Herr for Congress in Pennsylvania's 16th District. Lois is taking on the all-important challenge of unseating Rep. Joe Pitts, co-author of the outrageous Stupak-Pitts Amendment. Lois rightly called this amendment "a direct attack on the freedom and privacy of American women."

"Once again, women's reproductive rights are under attack in this country," said NOW President Terry O'Neill. "Anti-choice legislators are using health care reform as an opportunity to further restrict women's access to abortion. One such plunderer is Pennsylvania Representative Joseph Pitts, who co-authored an amendment to deny millions of women abortion coverage, and then when the Stupak-Pitts Amendment passed, Pitts voted against the main bill anyway."

The Senate may be voting on a "Hyde on steroids" amendment similar to Stupak-Pitts that would prevent millions of women from obtaining insurance coverage for abortion under health care reform. Floor debate begins next week, and senators are being pressured to accept this outrageous evisceration of Roe v. Wade in order to get reform legislation passed. It is not acceptable to achieve health care reform by pushing women back to the back alleys. The Senate must not adopt this House-passed amendment that would expand the Hyde Amendment (which prohibits federal funding of abortion, except in cases of rape, incest and threat to a woman's life). Please tell your senators Stupak-Pitts is not status quo and it is not okay.
Please Take Action NOW!

Meet my favorite blog - Pam's House Blend (always steamin')
Pam's House Blend is my major site for up-to-the-minute political LGBT news and commentary. It's highly intelligent, confrontational, and informative, and what's more a really fine community of progressive hearts and minds has been growing there. Pam is a lesbian woman of color down South who REALLY tells it like it is -- and she has plenty of like-minded writers contributing. The blog is fast-paced, always something new, always current, vital, and alive. I feel at home there.
Pam's iconic image is of an always-steaming coffee cup, which is right on--hot, black, tasty, and mentally stimulating.
