Contraception is not abortion!

Can you imagine living in a place where birth control is considered an
"abortion" and health insurers won't cover it? Where even rape victims are
denied emergency contraception?

It seems unbelievable, but the Bush Administration is quietly trying to
redefine "abortion" to include birth control. The Houston Chronicle says
this could wipe out dozens of state laws that protect women's reproductive
freedom and protect rape victims. And this proposed "rule change" doesn't
need congressional approval.

I just signed a message to Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt,
whose department is considering this rule change, telling him:

"Contraception is NOT abortion."

Can you add your voice to this cause?
