Thanks to Shaula Evans at BOPNews.com for the heads up. This passed the House with nary a whimper, but if we all get after our Senators, we might be able to stop it.
The Guardian reports that another assault on reproductive freedom has quietly passed the house:
A little-noticed provision cleared the House of Representatives last week that would prohibit local, state or federal authorities from requiring any institution or health care professional to provide abortions, pay for them, or make abortion-related referrals, even in cases of rape or medical emergency.
Translation: if a woman requires emergency medical care, a hospital can legally turn her away, and state and local governments can't do anything about it.
