From Elise at Daily Kos:
Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt has proposed a new rule that will limit the rights of women to receive medically accurate information and treatment. The alleged goal of the rule is to protect the rights of health care workers, volunteers, and trainees. The result would be limited access to birth control and abortion for women all over the country - regardless of state law.
You can contact HHS to comment on this new rule via letters through:
• the ACLU
• Planned Parenthood, and
• NARAL.
Please use these links, and sign and send every one of them, and pass them along to friends and family.
As Jill says:
We have 19 days. After 19 days this regulation goes into effect and every single health care worker in the United States will be able to refuse any woman health care based on their own personal moral views.
