What else can they do?

I am concerned that as the "cornered animals" in DC worry about January 21st - they are doing all the damage they can do between now and then to ensure our country is never free of their meddling.

Do you think contraception is the same as abortion? If you don't - read this and sign the MoveOn petition...
Can you imagine living in a place where birth control is considered an "abortion" and health insurers won't cover it? Where even rape victims are denied emergency contraception?

It seems unbelievable, but the Bush Administration is quietly trying to redefine "abortion" to include birth control. The Houston Chronicle says this could wipe out dozens of state laws that protect women's reproductive freedom and protect rape victims. And this proposed "rule change" doesn't need congressional approval.

I just signed a message to Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt, whose department is considering this rule change, telling him: "Contraception is NOT abortion." Can you add your voice to this cause? Click here to sign the message: http://pol.moveon.org/contraception/?r_by=13468-4096028-9mxU5Bx&rc=paste

Thanks!
