Breast Cancer Awareness Month is dedicated to increasing awareness of the importance of early breast cancer detection, because early detection-as with any cancer- plays a huge role in increasing ones chance of survival. One in eight women will be affected by breast cancer in their lifetimes, a ratio that has been on the rise over the past few decades.

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.
