The Stupak-Pitts amendment to the health care bill passed in the House on Saturday represents a huge step backward for women's rights advocates, limiting abortion access in unprecedented ways. Frances Kissling, in a New York Times Op-Ed with Kate Michelman, wrote:

The Democratic majority has abandoned its platform and subordinated women’s health to short-term political success. In doing so, these so-called friends of women’s rights have arguably done more to undermine reproductive rights than some of abortion’s staunchest foes. That Senate Democrats are poised to allow similar anti-abortion language in their bill simply underscores the degree of the damage that has been done.
