Birth control is not abortion...

I'm not trying to weigh in on actual abortion because I don't feel like stirring up that shitstorm. However this came across the internet to me today and I felt compelled to pass it along. Not sure who originally started this chain but it's worth it to pass it on.


I had to share something with you.
Can you imagine living in a place where birth control is considered an "abortion" and health insurers won't cover it? Where even rape victims are denied emergency contraception?

It seems unbelievable, but the Bush Administration is quietly trying to redefine "abortion" to include birth control. The Houston Chronicle says this could wipe out dozens of state laws that protect women's reproductive freedom and protect rape victims. And this proposed "rule change" doesn't need congressional approval.



I just signed a message to Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt, whose department is considering this rule change, telling him: "Contraception is NOT abortion." Can you add your voice to this cause? Click here to sign the message.

Thanks!
