Abortion opponents in both the House and the Senate are seeking to block the millions of middle- and lower-income people who might receive federal insurance subsidies to help them buy health coverage from using the money on plans that cover abortion. And the abortion opponents are getting enough support from moderate Democrats that both sides say the outcome is too close to call. ”

This is the possible hidden casualty of the healthcare debate. Read the whole article here, and write your senator asking them not to block these subsidies-it will especially hurt low income women.
I believe one of the only ways we can truly participate actively in this debate is to make our voices heard in a productive way, and a letter never hurts. I even recieved a personal response within two days from each of my senators.
