| | On August 21, 2008, the Department of Health and Human Services  |  |
| | (HHS) released proposed regulations that could seriously         |  |
| | undermine access to basic reproductive health services,          |  |
| | including birth control and abortion.                            |  |
| |                                                                  |  |
| | The rule leaves open the possibility that \-- based on religious |  |
| | beliefs \-- institutions and individuals can deny women access   |  |
| | to birth control. It also permits individuals to refuse to       |  |
| | provide information and counseling about basic heath care        |  |
| | services.  And it expands existing laws by permitting a wider    |  |
| | range of health care professionals to refuse to provide even     |  |
| | referrals for abortions.                                         |  |
| |                                                                  |  |
| | **The public comment period on these insidious regulations is    |  |
| | open until September 25. Help generate a massive outcry. Submit  |  |
| | your public comments to HHS by using the form below.** Or,       |  |
