Do-Good For The Day And Protect Birth Control
We’ve been covering the new proposed regulations by the Department of Health and Human Services to allow medical professionals to not only refuse referrals for abortion, but to allow the funding of “crisis pregnancy centers” and push women away from birth control and their reproductive choices.
On September 25th, HHS will close comments to the public, so get to it folks, there’s less than a week left. You can submit comments through Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, or email HHS directly.
Hillary Clinton and Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood, have a great op-ed in the New York Times today about the proposed rule. A snippet:
The rule would also allow providers to refuse to participate in unspecified “other medical procedures” that contradict their religious beliefs or moral convictions. This, too, could be interpreted as a free pass to deny access to contraception.
Many circumstances unrelated to reproductive health could also fall under the umbrella of “other medical procedures.” Could physicians object to helping patients whose sexual orientation they find objectionable? Could a receptionist refuse to book an appointment for an H.I.V. test? What about an emergency room doctor who wishes to deny emergency contraception to a rape victim? Or a pharmacist who prefers not to refill a birth control prescription?
