UPDATE: Abortion Ban Sham?
[UPDATE] Following public criticisms of new federally-funded health insurance plans that would have covered elective abortions in Pennsylvania and New Mexico, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a statement that the agency will act to exclude abortion from this program. This shows the need for a clear mandate from congress excluding explicit taxpayer [...]
In America, we’re born to be free . . . too bad we’re not free to be born.
This weekend, everyone will light sparklers, grill hamburgers, eat watermelon, and fly their red, white, and blue flags in celebration of an event that took place two-hundred thirty-four years ago.

Recent Birth Control Regulations
I need to make a point regarding recent comments made by those opposed to Bush’s recent regulations on birth control. This issue is essentially one of conscience, not abortion or birth control directly.
