State Action Alert - Support Women's Access to Reproductive Services, Preserve State Access Laws

On March 10^th, the Obama Administration issued a notice and comment rulemaking to fully rescind the Bush Administration’s HHS midnight regulation that undermines patients’ access to basic health care services and information. The Bush rule would allow health care workers who object to abortion and contraception to deny women care and information and would pre-empt many state laws. 

The deadline for submitting comments in support of protecting patients’ rights is midnight tonight. Please send your comments to proposedrescission@hhs.gov. For sample comments and more information, please visit Planned Parenthood’s website.
