Bush Adminsitration Trying to control who has access to brith control

I don't normally pass these on, but this is important to everyone in the US - not just women. The proposed regulation is an eleventh-hour attack before Bush's far-right appointees leave office. If enacted it would: • Allow hospitals, HMOs and health plans to refuse to provide services or make referrals for birth control. • Undermine state laws that require hospitals to provide emergency contraception to rape survivors, ensure pharmacies stock and fill women's prescriptions for birth control and mandate health plans that cover prescription medications to include birth control in their plans. • Affect Medicaid and Title X family-planning programs by enabling staff at clinics to refuse contraception to women.
