EMILY's List alum Cong. Diana DeGette (CO-01) has been front and center in the debate about the Stupak/Pitts Amendment in the House's health care bill. Diana, who co-chairs the House's pro-choice caucus with another EMILY's List alum, Cong. Louise Slaughter (NY-28), took a lead role in speaking out against the amendment after it was introduced, and she has been actively working to educate voters about the amendment's potential outcomes and make sure it's not included in the final version of the bill.

Here's a video of Diana speaking with Rachel Maddow about how far-reaching the new restrictions on women's rights would be, if Stupak/Pitts becomes law:
