Our government provides insurance coverage for abortion in cases of rape or incest for civilian women, like federal employees, but denies that coverage for our servicewomen and military dependents. This policy is unjust and unfair. Harness the power of social media with our tweet generator and standup for servicewomen!

Join us in asking Congress to include a provision put forward by Senator Jeanne Shaheen in the final National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). It would change this outrageous policy, and allow military women and dependents to receive insurance coverage of abortion in cases of rape or incest just as civilian women currently do.

Here's how:
Our tweet generator will automatically create a tweet about this policy and will also target key decision makers on the Hill, so you can let them know that you expect fairness for our servicewomen and that you are watching them.
