Make It Explicit: Birth Control is Not Abortion!
Thanks to concerned citizens like you, President Bush's new draft of reproductive health care regulations does not include the same egregious language defining birth control as abortion from the earlier draft. But it still fails to give assurances that current laws about abortion will not be stretched to cover birth control, too.
Groups on both sides of the abortion issue agree: the new draft leaves open the possibility that birth control could be classified as abortion. And if passed in its current form, the regulation's murky language could threaten women's access to birth control.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has opened a comment period, and they need to hear from you! Before the September 25 deadline, tell HHS that the draft regulation must include explicit language clarifying that birth control is not at risk.
Dear [Decision-maker],
I am writing to call on the Bush administration to include explicit language clarifying that birth control is not at risk in its final regulation about reproductive health care.
The fact is, federal law already allows doctors and even health-care corporations (hospitals, HMOs and health plans) to refuse to provide services or make referrals for abortion.

Please fix this proposed regulation with language clarifying that birth control is not at risk.
