Rep. Barbara Lee: Time to end the Hyde Amendment
The war on women isn’t over.
Nearly every day, there is a new unconscionable attack designed to restrict access to abortion. The oldest of these attacks is the Hyde Amendment, which Congress adds each year to strip women of their fundamental right to access all of their health care options. The amendment prevents women who receive their health insurance through the federal government from receiving abortion coverage.
It is clear that these attacks have one goal: preventing women, especially low-income women and women of color, from making the best health care decision for themselves and their families. This needs to stop.
Today, we start pushing back. Today, we make it clear that every woman has a right to make her own health care decisions, especially with such an important decision as whether to become a parent.

Works for me. Then you could run to replace her in Congress. 
Well that would be fail for mor reasons than I could possibly list. Starting with the fact I can't even get a job as a receptionist.
But I did get the cheap thrill of an endorsement this week. That's enough fuel for me.
