I'm not sure about you, but watching abortion coverage become the catch-all phrase for the "evils" of health care reform and hearing about how insurance companies classify cesareans as "pre-existing" conditions has made me pretty frustrated with the whole health care reform process.

Which is why I'm so excited that for the October 20 National Health Care Day of Action,  Planned Parenthood of New York City is asking folks to send in photos of themselves holding up a sign saying what they want to see in health care reform. PPNYC will be posting the photos online, on facebook, and sending them in to Congress, so the your representatives will have to (virtually) look you in the eye as you tell them that yes, you really do want coverage for contraception, cancer screenings, emergency contraception, visiting your local health clinic or even for getting an abortion.

Check out the examples up on the PPNYC blog , and then download the sign & permission slip to send your photo in too!
