Hello, all!
Hooray! After months of work, we are thiiiiis close to overturning Bush's midnight regulation that limits the rights of patients to receive complete and accurate reproductive health care information and services. The rule allows doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel to deny any basic health care service and withhold information about things like birth control and HIV testing and treatment — based on their personal biases.
About a month ago, we asked you to submit your comments of support for President Obama's proposal to reverse Bush's dangerous regulation. If you haven't been able to take action yet, now's your last chance: the comment period closes tonight at midnight. Showing public support is the most important part of this process, so add your statement now.
Implementing a rule that limits access to health services is absolutely irresponsible and unconscionable, especially at a time when more and more families are uninsured and have difficulties accessing health care. Don't miss this opportunity to speak up for patients' rights — take action now.

Thanks, everybody!
