That's right - under a new rule to be released this week, the Bush administration proposes to expand the definition of abortion to include any form of birth control, including Plan B emergency contraception. This rule would allow healthcare providers to refuse to provide a range of reproductive health services based on their personal non-medical beliefs.

The Effect?
This rule would override Washington law that requires all emergency rooms in the state to offer emergency contraception to sexual assault victims who go to the emergency room after an attack. After you and I worked tirelessly to pass this law in 2002 to expand patient access -President Bush is using his final months to institute a rule that would nullify our good work.

And under this rule women's health clinics would not be able to turn away a new hire if he/she opposes abortion and views birth control as abortion.
