The Center for Reproductive Rights has a new ad against the Stupak-Pitts ban on abortion, watch below:



The Female comedian opens in a night club, here is how the joke goes:

"So, this woman goes to her doctor.

She says: 'Doc, my back is killing me, does my insurance cover a breast reduction?'
And the doctor says, 'Yes it does.'” The audience giggles.

She goes on: "A guy goes to his doctor. He says: 'Doc, I can't breathe out of this side of my nose. Does my insurance cover a nose job?
And the doctor says: 'Yes, it does.'" Again, laughter.

She continues: "Another woman walks into her doctor’s office.
She says: 'Doc, I’m 11 weeks pregnant -- my baby has anencephaly, parts of its brain and skull are missing. It’s fatal. Does my insurance cover an abortion?'
And the doctor says: 'Oooh, no it does not.'”

Cue deafening silence, audience members shifting uncomfortably in their seats.

According to The Center for Reproductive Rights here are some key facts:

1.) "A majority of private health insurance plans now provide coverage for abortion services," 2.) "One in 3 women will have an abortion within her lifetime," 3.) "Abortion is one of the most common surgical procedures." Under Stupak-Pitts, however, neither the new private plans nor the more affordable public option would cover abortion
