Just Days Left to Raise an Outcry

From Planned Parenthood:

The Bush administration recently proposed a radical federal regulation change that would allow doctors to knowingly withhold information from their patients about widely accepted medical treatment options like birth control, emergency contraception, and abortion services. Even worse, this new rule could allow individual health care providers to redefine abortion to include the most common forms of birth control -- and then refuse to provide them.

DO SOMETHING! Submit a comment to the Department of Health and Human Services during the official 30-day comment period -- it ends
September 25. And please, please spread the word to friends and family.

With more than 600,000 health facilities nationwide affected, including hundreds of Planned Parenthood health centers, millions of patients' access to basic, comprehensive reproductive health care may very well depend on your action.
