Tell HHS: No religious exemption for Birth Control Coverage

[lynn82md.livejournal.com]

From Now:
Opponents of women's access to contraception have stepped up pressure on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to expand an exemption allowing some religious institutions to deny birth control insurance coverage to their employees. This exemption should not have been included in the HHS rules in the first place. But religious extremists are lobbying hard to convince HHS to completely remove the requirement for full insurance coverage of contraception from the new regulations. This would be a huge loss for women.

From NARAL:
The War on Women – with people like Michele Bachmann and John Boehner leading the charge – never stops. But neither does NARAL Pro-Choice America.

Every day we post to Facebook and Twitter the most important choice news and ways you can help protect women’s freedom and privacy against attacks.

But unfortunately, Michele Bachmann has more Facebook fans and Twitter followers than we do.

Getting angry won’t help. We can catch up if you “like” us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

Thanks for helping to grow our ranks online. Let’s show Michele Bachmann and all the other anti-choice politicians that we are mobilized.
