WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --Americans United for Life President and CEO Dr. Charmaine Yoest said that the Obama Administration continues to force the abortion-inducing drugs mandate in its preventive health care guidelines, despite today's "strained attempt to gloss over a fatally-flawed policy that does not address women's health care needs."
Dr. Yoest made the following statement: "It is clear that Americans need Congress to step in to protect their rights of conscience under the law and to end their forced participation in President Obama's abortion-inducing drug mandate.
"The preventive health care guidelines include ella, a drug that ends unborn life. This is not necessary health care for women.
"Once again, the Obama Administration is taking a step in the wrong direction. This new pronouncement turns Roe v. Wade on its head. In Roe, the courts said that abortion was a privacy right. In this health care dictate, the Obama administration announces plans to invade the privacy of women by requiring insurance companies to inquire about their private choices and offer free drugs. And the administration announces that insurance companies will take on this burden at no cost to anyone.
"And it is incredibly naive to believe that this will not cost either women or their employers. Insurance companies will surely take the projected expenses of these efforts into account when pricing coverage.
"It is time for permanent protections for people's rights of conscience, as well as the rejection of the preventive care plan at HHS that include the abortion-inducing drug mandate."

Industry’s Dominant SLM Solution Adding over 30,000 Suppliers per Month
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Aravo Solutions, Inc., the leading provider of cloud-based Supplier Lifecycle Management (SLM) and B2B information and collaboration solutions, today announced it has surpassed the 1.8 million active suppliers mark using its flagship Aravo Enterprise SLM solution.
Aravo launched the market’s first Supplier Information Management (SIM) solution in 2004 and has been the leading innovator in the space ever since. With global customers including GE and Cisco Systems, Aravo continues to dominate the worldwide market for SIM and now SLM solutions. By transforming their process and technology landscape using Aravo’s technology, clients reduce supplier management costs by up to 72%, avoid supply chain disruptions by proactively managing supplier risk, and accelerate time-to-market through optimized supplier discovery and performance management.
“This is an important milestone both for Aravo and for our industry at large,” said Robert Shecterle, Vice President, Marketing at Aravo. “With over 1.8 million active supplier users, Aravo is by far the largest single repository of supplier information in the industry. We continue to add thousands of suppliers each week, as we release new and innovative products to drive our market leadership.”
While many sourcing and procurement technologies focus primarily on driving benefits to large buying organizations, Aravo considers both the buyer and supplier perspectives. In Aravo’s core SIM, Risk, Performance and Compliance applications suppliers are provided with a free, easy-to-use, single point of access to interact with buying organizations where they can upload and maintain key profile data, business credentials, compliance information, and data on health/risk mitigation practices. Aravo’s technology then delivers the supplier’s data to the systems of record across the buyer’s global enterprise, dramatically reducing the supplier’s administrative and support costs. Suppliers can also use Aravo to pre-register with potential new customers and retain tighter control over their online profile data, resulting in new relationships and revenue.
“Supplier Lifecycle Management is emerging as a central priority for procurement, supply chain, finance and a range of additional functions across companies, as well as for suppliers themselves,” says Jason Busch, Managing Director, Azul Partners. “Aravo’s significant growth in supplier users suggests that leading edge companies and vendor management organizations are increasingly on-boarding and actively managing even smaller suppliers to create greater risk and compliance visibility. It also shows that leaders in the field are getting closer and closer to the ultimate goal of comprehensive automation and 100% documentation of the exchange of information between trading partners across an extended supply base.”
