Protect an American woman’s right to birth control.

We need very important action from American men and women. NARAL hopes to deliver 30,000 signatures to the NIH by Friday (tomorrow) June 17th that are critical for two reasons. One is stated and the other I will explain to you in no nonsense language. Even I didn’t know about this provision of the new health care law, and it probably explains a big part of why Republicans are gunning for the new law. The petition reads:

I Support No-Cost Birth Control

To the Department of Health and Human Services:

The new health-care-reform law should make prescription birth control available without co-pays or other out-of-pocket costs.

This change will ensure that every woman has access to the birth control that works best for her. Reducing the number of unintended pregnancies and encouraging the responsible use of birth control are goals we all share.

1) In the next few weeks, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will be drafting regulations that could designate birth control as a preventive-health service and allow women to get prescriptions for birth control filled without a copay. This is one of the potential benefits that came from the new national health-care law.

The above is NARAL talking. Now Anne will talk turkey with you. Here’s the plan for the Republican war on women.
