The Moveon.org position is that this would be a huge shift in U.S. policy. Senator Gillibrand is quoted as saying it would "dramatically limit reproductive health care." The group is sponsoring a letter writing campaign to urge Congress to keep the anti-choice "Stupak amendment" out of the final health care bill.
If you oppose the Stupak amendment, you can make your feelings known with a letter. Of course, if you favor the amendment you should also write a letter to your representative letting them know your feelings.
