Subject: Emergency contraception
To the Weld County Commissioners,
I am writing to urge you to revisit your uninformed decision to cease providing emergency contraception
in county health department clinics. This decision was based on emotion, not fact. Access to the full
range of contraception options keeps women and families healthy. Emergency contraception is an
important option for women's reproductive health and birth control. Your absurd notions that
emergency contraception is a form of abortion could have been corrected had you bothered to solicit any
expert medical testimony on the subject. Instead, you held your meeting where this decision was made in
a vacuum - with no public comment, including from medical professionals. Additionally, your lack of
transparency in this decision does a disservice to the people of Weld County.
Please schedule a time to revisit this matter. This time, include public comment and expert medical
testimony and open your minds to a reversal of an ill-advised decision..
Thank you.
