The battle to remove the Pro-Life Stupak-Pitts healthcare reform amendment is on. The pro-choice group Center for Reproductive Rights just announced that they will be launching a new ad campaign called, "Abortion Coverage is No Joke".

Read more from their release below:

The Center for Reproductive Rights is launching its new ad campaign “Abortion Coverage is No Joke,” following passage of a health bill in the House of Representatives banning abortion coverage for women participating in the Health Exchange. The Senate is expected to begin debate on its bill next week. The campaign calls on pro-choice constituents to contact their senators and demand that they not ban the coverage of abortion services that millions of American women already have. Center for Reproductive Rights President Nancy Northup will unveil the ad. Ms. Northup will be joined by DJ Feldman*, a woman who was diagnosed with a fatal fetal abnormality and was refused insurance coverage for an abortion."

President Obama says this is a healthcare bill, not an abortion bill. Well, actually this bill is very much about the abortion language and if it remains a problem then healthcare reform (in its current form) is in serious jeopardy.

Folks, put on your culture war gear.
