An amendment has been filed by Senators Hatch and Nelson that will put the language of the Stupak-Pitts amendment in the Senate Health Care bill. Much has been written about the impact of this amendment on women's access to full reproductive health services. Please call your both your Senators now and ask them to vote NO on the Nelson-Hatch amendment.

Here is the partial text of an email I just received from Planned Parenthood leadership:
As promised, Senators Nelson (D-NE) and Hatch (R-UT) filed an amendment to the Senate health care reform bill today, virtually identical to the Stupak Amendment passed in the House, which bans abortion coverage in the health care exchange.
Debate is expected to begin this afternoon, with a possible procedural vote coming as early as the end of the day, but more likely to happen tomorrow.
Please don't let the moral minority hijack the Health Care Reform process to impose their values on America. The amendment goes beyond existing status quo and will force women to lose existing health care coverage.
Please call both of your Senator now and ask them to Vote NO on Nelson Hatch Amendment.

FDL folks have good summary and actual text of amendment.
