Comments to HHS: Rescind the 'conscience' regulation
The Issue
Your voice is needed.
The official period for collecting comments ends this Thursday, April 9th. We need to show strong support for repealing the 'conscience' regulation completely...and quickly.
Please submit your comment today before it's too late!
The 'conscience' regulation reinterprets existing laws to allow nearly any employee in a federally-funded health care setting who claims a religious objection to refuse to provide information, referrals, or access to a range of health care services including birth control.
If not repealed, this regulation will dramatically reduce access to family planning information and health services, particularly for low-income women, because it elevates the rights of providers over those of patients.
>>Email HHS to express your support for the full repeal of the 'conscience' regulation.
