CFI is also taking on the bishops, by defending birth control and telling Obama to do likewise.
And we can help.
HHS is allowing public comments on the new guidelines until Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Here’s how you can get involved:
1. Visit www.regulations.gov.
2. In the search field, type the following: CMS–9968–ANPRM.
3. Scroll to the top result and click on “Submit a Comment.”
This drawn out debate over something as basic as birth control is a perfect example of the harmful influence of religious institutions on public policy. Send a message to policy makers at HHS right now and tell them it’s time to finalize the contraceptive rule and move on.
Remember, the deadline is Tuesday, June 19, 2012!
Dooo eeeeet!
Well, I sent a message. Even though their inline interface is slow as dirt and literally can’t keep up with my typing. (I wonder what kind of awful inefficient javascript they must be running to grind the text entry down to that level.)
I seem to recall sending messages to the HHS before. They didn’t particularly listen last time, but maybe I can rest my hopes on the faint chance that this one will actually do something.
I missed this when it was posted. I submitted a comment. I don’t have high hopes.
