Reverse Bush's anti-choice regulation

Tell the Obama administration to reverse Bush's anti-choice regulation.

The Bush administration has released a rule that could allow individual health care providers who receive federal funding 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.

With the health of so many women at stake, the Obama administration must begin working immediately to reverse this rule. Sign your name to the petition below so that when the Obama administration begins in January, they'll know we need them to act quickly to protect women's health and reproductive freedom.



Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: I urge the Obama administration to reverse Bush's anti-choice regulation

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

President Bush's new regulation allowing individual health care providers to redefine abortion to include the most common forms of birth control poses a serious danger to women's health. With the economy stumbling and more and more Americans uninsured, this is the worst possible time for the government to deny women, men and families access to basic health care and information.

This regulation limits the rights of patients to receive complete and accurate health information and services. Women's ability to manage their own health care is at risk of being compromised by politics and ideology. Contraception is not abortion, and the doctor's office is no place to play political games.

I urge you to begin work immediately to reverse this disastrous regulation. The health and safety of countless women depend on it.
