Support the Conscience Law

The federal department of Health and Human Services is proposing a regulation that would protect medical providers from being forced to perform abortions against their conscience. Planned Parenthood is attempting to have it blocked by sending in as many comments as possible opposing the regulation. There is a 30-day comment period; you may send your comments supporting the Conscience Law between now and September 25 at: consciencecomment@hhs.gov

A sample comment:
Subject: Conscience Law

Dear HHS Administrators,

I would like to comment on your Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination (http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2008pres/08/2008082reg.pdf).

I support this proposal. Our medical professionals should not have to perform procedures against their conscience. Please protect the freedoms embodied in the First Amendment of our Constitution by enacting this regulation.
