SIGN PETITION: President Bush Issued a dangerous and misguided "conscience" regulation that jeopardizes a woman's access to birth control...REVERSE IT

care2 petitionsite actionAlert


As one of their final acts in office, the Bush Administration issued a dangerous and misguided "conscience" regulation that jeopardizes a woman's access to birth control and other medically necessary health care services and information.

This regulation opens the door for insurance plans, hospitals, anti-choice doctors, nurses – even administrative staff like receptionists – to undermine patient access to the information and advice they expect and need. Take action to reverse this ill-conceived regulation today »

While President Obama put a freeze on many of Bush's midnight regulations as soon as he could, this regulation slipped through the door and went into effect the day before Obama took office. Its status is in a legal limbo, but the last thing we need is uncertainty around a woman's right to accessing birth control and other necessary health care.

You can help protect reproductive rights. Urge President Obama to give the misguided "conscience" regulation a good swift kick out the door – once and for all.

Thanks for taking action!

Tell President Obama to Protect Women's Access to Birth Control
Help overturn the misguided 'conscience' regulations.
Take Action!
Instead of balancing the needs of health professionals and patients, the regulation gives medical providers the ability to refuse to provide health services and information they deem objectionable – even in emergency situations. We need your help to overturn this regulation.
