http://progressmichigan.org/page/community/group_rss/TheMichiganReligiousCoalitionforReproduc/html The Michigan Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. . . Brings the moral power of religious communities to ensure reproductive choice and freedom through advocacy and education. MI-RCRC was founded by clergy and lay persons from mainstream religions, many of whom provided women with referrals to safe abortion services before the Supreme Court legalized abortion. MI-RCRC supports policies that promote access to family planning services, safe and legal abortion services, sexuality education, prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS, and promote adequate health care for people regardless of income, race, gender or faith. MI-RCRC includes members who are religiously and theologically diverse, but unified in the commitment to preserve reproductive choice as a basic part of religious liberty. <p>In the new proposed regulations for the US Department of Health and Human Services, the Bush Administration distorts the concept of religious liberty, erects barriers to health care for women, and wastes tax payer money. </p><p>In the guise of protecting religious liberty and individual conscience, these regulations are one-sided and will trample a woman's legal and moral right to needed health care services.</p> http://progressmichigan.org/page/community/post/felicitywhite/Bph http://progressmichigan.org/page/community/post/felicitywhite/Bph/commentary#comments Mon, 04 Aug 2008 20:12:31 EDT http://progressmichigan.org/page/community/post/felicitywhite/Bph Felicity http://progressmichigan.org/page/community/profile_picture/6fea55bdbde0c9ae52_txm6bscke.jpg Felicity 0 http://progressmichigan.org/page/community/comment_rss/Bph/
