Current Items:
Take a stand for access to birth control for all.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) proposed regulations that could seriously undermine access to basic reproductive health services -- including birth control and abortion.
Please act right now. The deadline on public comments is fast approaching, and we have to generate intense opposition to these dangerous regulations. Click on the button to the left to send a message to the Department of Health and Human Services to stop their efforts to block women’s access to basic reproductive health services of visit http://action.aclu.org/hhs_comment.
The rule leaves open the possibility that -- based on religious beliefs -- institutions and individuals can deny women access to birth control. It also permits individuals to refuse to provide information and counseling about basic heath care services. And it expands existing laws by permitting a wider range of health care professionals to refuse to provide even referrals for abortions.
