Another one

They just keep on coming....

“…when the Republicans vote for this bill today, they will be voting to say that women can die on the floor of health care providers … it’s just appalling,” -- Nancy Pelosi
Chuck --

We have to act fast.

House Republicans are set to vote today on a bill that would go even farther than Republicans’ previous efforts to restrict women’s access to reproductive health care.

This GOP bill would allow emergency rooms to refuse women life-saving healthcare. Pundits are calling it the “Let Women Die” act.

We must act immediately to call out the right-wing Republicans behind this assault on women. We’ve set a goal of raising $100,000 for the DCCC Women’s Health Rapid Response Fund so we can hold these Republicans accountable.

Please make an urgent contribution of $3 or more to the DCCC Women’s Health Rapid Response Fund. Your generous support will send a powerful show of grassroots strength against the Republicans’ extreme agenda.

Instead of focusing on jobs or the economy, today’s vote will mark the seventh time this year House Republicans have chosen to undermine women’s access to health care.

First, it was Republicans redefining rape to deny health care coverage. Now, they want to allow hospitals to turn away women in life-or-death situations. Plus, for the first time ever, this bill would restrict how women with private insurance can spend their own private dollars in purchasing health care. It has to stop.

Help us send a message to Speaker Boehner, Majority Leader Cantor, and the rest of the House Republicans that their repeated insistence on restricting women’s access to health care has consequences.

Please make an urgent contribution of $3 or more to the DCCC Women’s Health Rapid Response Fund >>

Thank you standing with us.

Pee-Lousy of "we've got to pass the bill (with death panels) so we can see what's in it" is one to talk about death in health care, since her party ensured that millions of women - and men - will get substandard care and "end of life" decisions made for them by some anonymous panel.

I am sure that any pro-life bill proposed by anyone sane will not prevent heroic measures to save lives, even if the baby dies. That's a hard decision that many parents have had to make over the years since modern medicine ended childbirth fever. It's a decision that needs to be left to the parents.
