Authors, sign in!The Center for Reproductive Rights has a new ad against the Stupak-Pitts ban on abortion, watch below:
The Female comedian opens in a night club, here is how the joke goes:
"So, this woman goes to her doctor.According to The Center for Reproductive Rights here are some key facts:She says: 'Doc, my back is killing me, does my insurance cover a breast reduction?'
And the doctor says, 'Yes it does.'” The audience giggles.She goes on: "A guy goes to his doctor. He says: 'Doc, I can't breathe out of this side of my nose. Does my insurance cover a nose job?
And the doctor says: 'Yes, it does.'" Again, laughter.She continues: "Another woman walks into her doctor’s office. She says: 'Doc, I’m 11 weeks pregnant -- my baby has anencephaly, parts of its brain and skull are missing. It’s fatal. Does my insurance cover an abortion?'
And the doctor says: 'Oooh, no it does not.'”
Cue deafening silence, audience members shifting uncomfortably in their seats.
1) A majority of private health insurance plans now provide coverage for abortion services, 2) One in 3 women will have an abortion within her lifetime, 3) Abortion is one of the most common surgical procedures. Under Stupak-Pitts, however, neither the new private plans nor the more affordable public option would cover abortion

Thanks for posting our "No Joke" video, Tatiana! It means a lot to us that people are spreading the word on how dangerous Stupak and his anti-choice cronies are. Keep fighting the good fight!
