Coalition Letter to Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (11/17/2008)
The undersigned groups committed to women’s health are writing to urge OIRA to take its responsibilities seriously with respect to the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) “Provider Conscience Regulation” (RIN 0991-AB48, 73 Fed. Reg. 50274 (Aug. 26, 2008) (to be codified at 45 C.F.R. pt. 88).

ACLU Coalition Letter to Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt (07/22/2008)
The undersigned medical, public health, religious, advocacy, and research groups committed to women's health strongly oppose the Department of Health and Human Services’ draft regulations that could significantly limit women’s access to basic reproductive health services, including some of the most common forms of birth control. If implemented, these regulations may preempt state laws that protect women’s access to health care and undermine the nation’s fragile network of safety net providers that serve low income women. We strongly urge the Department to immediately abandon its effort to bring about these ill-conceived and harmful policy changes.

Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion, the nation witnessed Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. sidestepping many important questions about his view of the Constitution and reproductive rights.
