HHS Proposed Rule Thanks
Please take a moment to thank your representatives for expressing their opposition to the Deparment of Health and Human Services proposed draft rule. In voicing their concerns, Washington State's Congressional Delegation showed leadership in standing up for women's health and rights. Draft a short note of thanks to your representative, letting them know how much that leadership means to you.

Planned Parenthood is gravely concerned that the Bush administration is considering a new HHS rule that would undermine women's access to health care and information. The rule would allow federal funding that is specifically designed to prevent unintended pregnancy and promote reproductive health to instead be used by facilities and providers that refuse to offer comprehensive birth control and reproductive health care services.
This proposed rule will put women's access to birth control and the information they need to make health care decisions at risk. The proposed rule will radically redefine abortion to include some of the most common and effective methods of birth control. As a result, women's ability to manage their own health care is at risk of being compromised by politics and ideology.
