Oppose the Bush Administration's Attack on Birth Control

Posted: 07/23/2008

The Bush administration is proposing a new regulation that could discourage doctors and health-care companies from providing birth control to women who need it. This proposal deliberately confuses the definitions of contraception and abortion and is yet another example of the Bush administration further injecting politics into health-care services.

  • This regulation could undermine good state laws that require hospitals to provide emergency contraception to rape survivors and ensure that pharmacies fill women’s prescriptions for birth control.

  • The proposal could allow health-care corporations (hospitals, HMOs, and health plans) to refuse to provide contraceptive services or make referrals for birth control.

  • The proposed regulation could affect Medicaid and the Title X family-planning program. For instance, staff at clinics or health-care plans that serve Medicaid clients could refuse to provide contraception.
Call Congress today at 202-224-3121 and tell them you support their efforts to get the
Bush administration to reconsider this terrible idea.
