This is so ridiculously easy, and even more important. Make your voice heard before it's too late... the public comment period ends this Thursday, September 25th.From the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) website:
Protect Access to Health CareOn August 21, 2008, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released 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.
The public comment period on these insidious regulations is open until September 25. Help generate a massive outcry. Submit your public comments to HHS by using the form below. Or, read more first.

Thanks for this. Did you think about posting on MOL or M&M?
Oooh - a homework assignment! I generally avoid both these days, but I suppose reaching a larger audience couldn't hurt...
if you did, YOU would be cooler than the cat! ;-)
