[psa] more appalling American politics...
Nov. 15th, 2008 09:06 pmTell the Bush administration to keep its word and stop efforts to redefine "abortion" to include birth control.
The Bush administration promised not to issue any new regulations after November 1. But now it's poised to implement a rule that could allow individual health care providers to redefine abortion to include the most common forms of birth control — and then refuse to provide these basic services. A woman's ability to manage her own health care is at risk of being compromised by politics and ideology. We need you to speak out now, before the administration implements this rule. If they move forward with it, it could wipe out dozens of state laws that protect women's access to basic reproductive health services.
I wish I was allowed to sign a message to President Bush urging him to keep his word and withdraw this disastrous proposal, but since I can't, you, my American friends, definitely should add your voices to the cause. Click here to sign the message. Tell President Bush: Keep your word. Stop the attack on women's health.
