Planned Parenthood is gravely concerned that the Bush administration is days away from an attack on women’s healthcare that would limit the rights of patients to receive complete and accurate health information and services. At a time when more and more families are uninsured and under economic assault, we find our health care system is in crisis and our president taking steps to deny access to basic care.

This proposed rule will put women’s access to birth control and the information they need to make health care decisions at risk. The proposed rule will radically redefine abortion to include some the most common and effective methods of birth control. As a result, women’s ability to manage their own health care is at risk of being compromised by politics and ideology.

As one of the leading women’s healthcare providers and advocates, Planned Parenthood will not stand by and watch the Bush administration deny quality, affordable healthcare and accurate information to millions of women.
