Bush's Prescription for Bad Health Care

On August 21, 2008, the Bush administration launched an attack on women's health care and reproductive rights.

The Bush administration released a regulation that could limit the rights of patients to receive complete and accurate reproductive health information and services.

A woman’s ability to manage her own health care is being compromised by politics and ideology. The new regulation complicates rather than clarifies the law. It lets health care providers define abortion, which could threaten access to birth control and broader reproductive health care.

When more and more families are uninsured and have difficulty accessing health care at all, implementing a rule that will limit access to health services is utterly perplexing.

The Bush administration's outrageous actions never cease to amaze us, but this one is beyond belief. It will hurt the women who most need help at a time when they are most vulnerable.

We have 30 days to comment on this new regulation!

It's unconscionable, and it is wrong. And, once again, it's our job to stop it.
