Stop Bush's Damaging Regulations to Deny Women Contraception
07/17/2008 - With millions still under served by a failing health care system and abysmal approval ratings, what's a president to do to ensure a legacy? Apparently, President Bush thinks going after family planning is the answer.
Earlier this week, NFPRHA received word that the Department of Health and Human Services is about to propose and enforce regulations which would allow health care providers to deny low-income and uninsured women contraception. Send a letter now to Secretary Leavitt to demand he stop efforts to undermine the health of America's families.
The real intent of the draft rules is to drastically limit access to contraception, and to override many state protections that guarantee access to contraception and other reproductive health services. The administration even appears to object to a Connecticut law requiring hospitals to distribute emergency contraception to rape victims in the emergency room -- a common sense, compassionate proposal supported by many Americans.
This last ditch attempt of the Bush Administration is senseless. It does nothing to make families stronger or reduce the need for abortion.
What can you do to stop this dream scenario of anti-contraception zealots? Send a letter to the Health and Human Services Secretary now. And make a financial donation to NFPRHA on our website today.
