first link above wrote: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is poised to put in place new barriers to accessing common forms of contraception like birth control pills, emergency contraception and IUDs by labeling them "abortion."

...

The regulations could even invalidate state laws that currently ensure access to contraception for many Americans. In fact, they describe New York and California's laws requiring prescription drug insurance plans to provide coverage for contraceptives as part of "the problem." These rules would even interfere with New York State law that ensures survivors of sexual assault and rape receive emergency contraception in hospital emergency rooms.

Thanks I couldn't figure out how to quote from a different site

no prob -- thanks for posting this.

btw, you can just open quote tags, copy and paste whatever, and close the tags.

you know what? fuck him. that means ever condom he put on when fucking a whore in the 5th ward of houston while high on crack was a victim of his very own definition of abortion - perpetrated by him. I call bullshit.

and a lucky thing, too -- what if each of those encounters had produced another little bush? <shudder>

Yeah, but a little bush without Daddy's connections wouldn't be capable of accomplishing anything.

and there are probably tons of them. who were born crack addicted and/or fetal alcohol syndrome. AWESOME. fucker. I don't use the nuvaring for nothing ... (no, I'm not a crack head)

Washington, Jul. 17, 2008 (CWNews.com) - Under a policy proposed by the Bush White House, the US government would require all recipients of federal health-care payments to certify that they do not discriminate against doctors or nurses who refuse to be involved in abortions.

New White House policies, circulated for comment this week, would ask all institutions receiving federal health-care grants to provide written assurance that they will not fire-- or refuse to hire-- health-care personnel who express moral objections to abortion.

The proposed guidelines extend to some abortifacient drugs that are commonly identified simply as contraceptives. They regulation circulated by the White House seeks protection for doctors and nurses who express moral objections to the use of "any of the various procedures — including the prescription, dispensing 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.”??

....Your point?

so wait: if i run a gyn clinic that offers abortion and i need to hire a new doc, i can't "discriminate" against someone who won't perform the (legal) procedure i'm hiring someone to perform?

wha?

"The proposed guidelines extend to some abortifacient drugs that are commonly identified simply as contraceptives."

You don't think using the term abortifacient is a give-away? This quote is from CWN - Christian World News - think they may have an agenda???

You don't think reclassifying birth control pills, emergency contraception and IUD's as abortions is a problem. This is the classic backdoor approach to making access to abortion extremely difficult and will impact poor women disporportionately.

Livetotravel: I was actually asking Eggcream what point he was trying to make by quoting all of that.

eggcream: study linguistics.
