Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America Writes me-

Cindi- I want you to know about a recent decision in Washington that could endanger the health of women all across America.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced new regulations as part of health care reform that would deny
coverage for abortion to some of the most medically vulnerable women in America. HHS has banned coverage for abortion, except in the cases of rape, incest, and endangering the life of the woman, in new insurance pools set up to provide coverage to
women with pre-existing conditions. This means that women with AIDS, breast and cervical cancer, and other conditions will be
denied this coverage. This abortion ban is part of an extremely limited category of excluded procedures — procedures like cosmetic surgery, which are almost never covered by health plans today.

You know as well as I do: abortion is not cosmetic surgery. It is necessary care. It is health care that is generally included
as a part of a basic benefits package, and all women — regardless of health status — should have the option of purchasing a health plan that includes it. If you haven’t yet, sign our letter to HHS now, and tell them to reverse this decision before it goes into effect and does real harm to women.

It’s up to each and every one of us to protect the gains made for women’s health in the health care reform law, and I hope you
will stand with us.

Cindi writes- Do you agree or disagree with this? Do you want more political issues concerning women covered on LadieZnight? Or should we stick to the adult industry?
