The fight is far from over.

In yet another attack on women's rights, Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) announced today that he is planning on introducing an amendment to the Senate health care bill that will echo the controversial language of the Stupak-Pitts amendment.

"It's as identical to Stupak as it can be," Nelson said.

That's the last thing that we wanted to hear.

Women should never be forced to choose between their rights and a chance at health care reform- and it's time our senators and representatives know that. Sign our petition to stop this assault on women's reproductive rights at StopStupak.com.
