A recently leaked draft regulation from the Department of Health and Human Services (PDF available here) attepts to redefine many forms of contraception, including IUDs and many forms of oral
contraception, as "abortion," and allowing employees of any agency, public or private, to refuse to perform or dispense any such measure if they have
a moral or religious objection, including even those responsible for instrument sterilization (see here). The result of this could very well be a drastic reduction in the
availability of contraception to American women.
