oicu812 does have a point.
But it's on his head.
He knows full well that reclassifying contraception as abortion would mean that hospitals recieving Federal funds (I.E. submitting Medicare or Medicaid claims for instance) would be forced by statute to staff thier clinics with people opposed to both abortion and conraception, and empowered to undermine basic principles of family planning.
Which is the real Bush agenda.
IF you ever had any doubt about how radical and how backward these people are, this proposal should end all doubt.
We're going to see a lot of these extremist hail mary passes lobbed by the Bush ideologues in the final days.
A number of them will sneak by (Bush and the Republican leadership are very good at burying their agenda in process).
We'll spend the next couple of years weeding them out and fixing them, like exorcising computer virus's.
