Quick Reminder.
I would like to remind all of you to write to the United States Department of Health and Human Services about the proposed reclassification of contraception as abortion.
I wrote about it here, and the proposal is here.
Planned Parenthood is also asking people to go comment on Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt's blog, and then come back and tell them what you said so that they can keep track of how many comments get deleted and ignored.
So, he appears not to want to answer comments that are already there.
Go add some more. Kick up a fuss. Make some noise. Do it even if you are a politically apathetic dude who doesn't particularly believe we're in any imminent danger. It's a frigging blog comment. It costs you nothing.
And, again, should you decide this is worth the price of a stamp, the contact info for the HHS offices is as follows:

You do not have to be eloquent to make your point. You must simply speak. You deserve the right to control your own damn reproductive processes. Your words are good enough.
