Bush & co trying to get around Roe v Wade (health care, Putin)

[NicoleJ]

From Huffington Post:

The New York Times reports that the Bush Administration's Department of Health and Human Services is drafting a rule that would place new restrictions on domestic family planning programs. While current law allows health care providers and professionals to refuse to provide abortions based on their religious beliefs, this provision would threaten the funding of organizations and health facilities if they do not hire people who would refuse to provide birth control and defines abortion so broadly that it would include many types of birth control, including oral contraception.

Because the only rights a woman needs is the right to be barefoot.

Good. I'm not too keen on my hard earned tax money being doled out to baby killers.

Bad enough it's legal for a mother to walk into a clinic, kill her baby and go home. But to use other people's money for it is reprehensible.

And this is NOT getting around Roe v Wade. It's still legal, you just dont get tax money to do it.

Did you read the article?

ACTUALLY - he is trying to restrict access to birth control. So all it will do is up the number of abortions you hate so much (must be easy being a guy and not ever having to have an unwanted pregnancy, eh?)

Do you have a link other than the Huffington Post? That site as as biased and untrustworthy as Kos or MoveOn.

The Huffington Post and the NYT are not great sources of unbiased journalism. Try again.

Keeping your legs shut until your married works too.

Well that is discrimination because of religious belief.

So... directly from the Senate isn't good enough?
ABC News?

Are you disputing that fact that this legislation is being pushed?

They are specifically broadening the term to include oral contraceptives.

You know married people use the Pill too? Women weren't created simply to breed.
