This is actually pretty scary, if you think about it.
Here is a link and some excerpts http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/alerts/426 :
We're all familiar with the popular chant among conservatives that "life begins at conception." But does that mean our government can say that life ends at contraception?
Apparently, yes, if a proposal from the Department of Health and Human Services that carefully redefines contraception as abortion is adopted.
The religious fervor is carefully hidden in the minutia. The leaked proposal initially reads as a defense of healthcare providers who fear being discriminated against for refusing to provide services that are contrary to their religious beliefs. Basically, just because a clinic or insurance plan receives federal funding "does not authorize any court or any public official or other public authority to require" the entity to provide or pay for services such as sterilization or abortion.
Which seems somewhat harmless, until you change the meaning of abortion to include contraceptive medicines that 40 percent of women in the U.S. use regularly.
"A 2001 Zogby International American Values poll revealed that 49% of Americans believe that human life begins at conception. Presumably many who hold this belief think that any action that destroys human life after conception is the termination of a pregnancy, and so would be included in their definition of the term 'abortion.'"
The effects could be far-reaching. According to NARAL Pro-Choice America, a rape-victim who goes to a health clinic for treatment could be denied emergency contraceptives, women who rely on Title X-funded programs could be denied prescribed contraceptives, and some could even be denied a referral to a clinic which supports reproductive care.
The legal basis for the proposal, the Church and Weldon Amendments, are described as "religiously influenced interference in medicine" by Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health.
