Bush - Religion Trumps Science - Link

George W. Bush continues to put his religion before science and medicine. He would rather see you denied access to health care than to tell physicians and pharmacists that they need to do the job they signed on for. The following is from the ACLU's e-newsletter...

Take Action: Proposed Bush Regulation Jeopardizes Women's Health

Late last week, 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.

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.

Instead of striking a careful balance between individual religious
liberty and patients' access to reproductive health care, the
Bush administration has taken patients' rights and their health
care needs out of the equation.

We have less than 30 days to stop these new rules from being enacted.
Take a stand now.
