Anti-Choicers Defeat Birth Control Bill in South Dakota
A South Dakota bill that would have given women easier access to contraception and taken substantial steps to decrease the unintended pregnancy and abortion rate was defeated in the state senate — by “pro-life” legislators.

A New York hospital may be scrapping its women’s health program — if it merges with a Catholic hospital.

Perhaps we should send a copy of this video to the FDA next time they go to evaluate Plan B. Or to the people who don’t get how emergency contraception works. Or to those abstinence-only educators. Or to anti-choice groups. Or to right-wing politicians. Or to the leadership of South Dakota and Mississippi. Or to [...]

Contraception is next issue after abortion. And pro-lifers must work it through. Glad to see they aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. Oh, and this comes from a Protestant anti-choicer, so her opposition to birth control is because of her politics, not because the Pope said so.
