Happy Phantom is just relaxing
I have just learned that the Bush administration is about to
release a rule that will make it possible for federal funding
that is specifically designed to prevent unintended pregnancy
and promote reproductive health to now be used for anything but
that.
If it happens, this will be a massive betrayal of women and
families, and we must stop it. For example, this is what one
result of Bush’s rule change could be:
Right now, anti-choice groups run so-called “crisis pregnancy
centers” in communities all around the country—often a block
or two away from Planned Parenthood affiliate health centers.
These facilities look like health centers, but in reality are
run by anti-choice zealots who deliver only the reproductive
health care options that fit their agenda. No birth control, no
abortion—and no choice for women and families who need it.
If this rule takes effect, they’re likely to receive a massive
influx of our tax dollars to expand their deceptive operations
and to attract hundreds of thousands of women who think they’ll
be getting medical care but instead will receive a large dose of
anti-choice ideology.
I believe that tricking women when they are most vulnerable is
wrong—and the federal government shouldn’t pay people to do
it.
Please join me in telling President Bush “no.” Here’s the link
with all the info you need.
