Abortion rights bill in congress **today**

Via feministing, last-minute news about House Resolution 747 (H. R. 748), the "Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act," which apparently is being considered in the House of Representatives today. Details here and here and here. You can send an email letter with this form, but phone calls and real letters (as opposed to form letters) are more effective. Please take a minute to contact your representative and senator, because this thing is almost certainly going to make it to the Senate.

Update Be sure to read this post over at Daily Kos, in which Rep. Louise Slaughter tells us how Republicans actually rewrote Democratic amendments to the bill in order to frame the Democrats as defenders of child rapists. Yes, I am not shitting you.
