Protect Birth Control: No to President Bush's Latest Proposal
Target: U.S. Congress
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
The Bush administration is proposing a new regulation that would discourage doctors and health-care clinics from providing birth control to women who need it. This regulation would require federal health programs to certify that they will hire nurses and other providers who openly object to abortion or contraception in order to receive federal aid to run their programs.
For more information on the proposal, see http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/15/washington/15rule.html?_r=1&sq=birth
The regulation could seriously jeopardize state laws and policies that protect women's access to birth control. For example, state laws that require hospitals to provide sexual-assault victims with access to emergency contraception could be jeopardized!
Members of Congress are calling on the Bush administration to change course. Please let your members of Congress know that you strongly oppose this attack on women's health and individual rights.

It looks like Bush won't stop his assault on women and the environment until he's out of office. I believe that his attack on women's rights to abortion and birth control is outrageous and indecent and he should be stopped now.

Discourage birth control? That is the opposite of common sense. What we have to do is ENCOURAGE birth control. The unchecked growth of the human population is going to eventually kill us all. Create responsible parents through family planning.

Let those who are against birth control provide the money to take care of an unwanted child!

We need some birthcontrol. I guess the Chinese are smarter than we are?
