NOW NYS mobilized local activists on Dec 4th in NYC to stop Stupak/Pitts-like Amendments, banning abortion coverage, that may be included in the Senate Health Care Reform package. Before the rally, I spoke with Bill Baird, founder of the Pro-Choice League who established the nation’s first abortion referral center in 1964, and was jailed for defending choice. Hearing about a women dying in his arms as a result of a coat-hanger abortion was chilling. Never Again. Video coverage, provided by Peoples’ Movement.
Huge thanks to NOW-NYS for inviting me to speak and for organizing
