This video from KTVX ABC 4 in Salt Lake City, Utah examines a Bush Administration health care proposal that would allow health care workers in facilities that receive federal money the right to exercise their conscience to refuse abortion or abortifacient services.
A draft Health and Human Services memo defines abortion as "any of the various procedures -- including the prescription and administration of any drug or the performance of any procedure or any other action -- that results in the termination of the life of a human being in utero between conception and natural birth, whether before or after implantation."
This includes some forms of oral contraceptive that don't simply prevent fertilization, but prevent the newly conceived human being from implanting in the uterus for sustenance.
