Fuzzy math: Contraception = Abortion
Yes, that's right, the Bush administration is currently considering a ruling that lumps contraception in with abortions. So it is not enough that our right to choose whether or not to give birth after conception, now we are being told that we can't even do what's necessary to ensure we will not get pregnant.
Health and Human Services chair, Michael Leavitt, is looking at a ruling that says, "any of the various procedures--including the prescription, dispensing and administration of any drug or the performance of any procedure or any other action--that results in the termination of the life of a human being in utero between conception and natural birth, whether before or after implantation."
It is bad enough that more and more states have made or are making abortions illegal, but now whether you have been raped, are a child yourself, have an abusive husband or boyfriend, or you have health issues that would make pregnancy and birth life-threatening to you, you now not only will be "implanted" but you have no say in what happens thereafter.
If this angers you as much as it does me, then here's some ideas for action.
Contact one of the main organizations such as Planned Parenthood - www.plannedparenthood.org or NARAL - www.naral.org or NOW www.now.org and get on their email list for alerts on what they are planning to respond to this.
Contact Michael Leavitt at Health and Human Services mlo.5@hhs.gov or call him at 202-619-0257 or toll free at 877-696-6775 and let him know this is completely unacceptable.
So please, take action now.
