Women Serving Our Country
Tell your members of Congress to support the reproductive rights of women serving our country.

Dear ACLU Supporter,
It's totally unacceptable. More than 100,000 women serving overseas in our nation's armed services can't exercise the rights they defend with their lives.
But that's what's happening: women in the armed services are prevented from getting abortions -- even if they pay for them themselves.
This is one of the many ways in which anti-choice extremists are trying to chip away at the rights of women. And each time, ACLU supporters like you have stood up to defend reproductive rights.
The Senate Armed Services Committee recently voted to lift the military facilities abortion ban and allow privately financed abortions in U.S. military hospitals. But anti-choice members of Congress are trying to keep the senseless ban in place.
Please take action on this important issue right now. If your members of Congress hear from enough people like you, they'll do the right thing.

>From proposed state initiatives that define the fetus as a person to attempts to drastically undermine access to reproductive health care and dictate what types of health insurance coverage private employers may offer their employees, we're fighting extremist forces that want to impose their values on the rest of us.
And now we have to stop them from perpetuating the deep injustice of the military hospital abortion ban. We must send a strong message to Congress right now.

Let's send a message to Congress and to anti-choice extremists that we won't stop working until the military hospital abortion ban is overturned.
Thanks for taking action,
ENDS
