SF activists to send coat-hangers to Dems who supported abortion restrictions in health bill


It's a good thing the activists at SF-based Credo Mobile have never been the shy retiring types, because they know they'll get some serious blowback on this one: They just launched a campaign to send coat-hangers to 20 House Democrats who supported the Stupak Amendment, which expands an existing ban on public funding for abortion. Comrade Lochhead has been telling you about this here and here.

An email blast sent Friday -- and signed by CREDO Mobile CEO Laura Scher, President Michael Kieschnick and political director Becky Bond -- says: "Sign our petition and we'll send a coat hanger to the 20 formerly pro-choice Democrats who voted to take away women's rights. If the Stupak amendment is allowed to stand, it would ban private insurers who participate in the insurance exchange created by the health care bill from covering abortion as a part of women's reproductive health care. Tens of millions of women would be affected."

"These 20 formerly pro-choice Democrats need to hear that it is NOT ok to throw women under the bus when it comes to passing health care."
