I, for one, could not be happier if he overturns this!! Just another reason I can't wait for Bush to hit the bricks. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

Good.

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

This wouldn't involve new money, just allowing currently funded NGOs to provide a full range of options to women instead of limited their choices based on the political motivations of the president.

You might take a few moments to read up on the issue.

Even your summary notes that playing ping-pong with with the Mexico city policy at the very start of a new Admin is a tradition.

i would like to see this overturned. i'd also like to see a lot of laws in this country that make access to abortion that much harder done away with. as another person pointed out, we already have enough problems economically, and it isnt just here, it's the rest of the world. just read up on the news in places like haiti, where starvation is truly rampant. it is just not a time to bring more unwanted children into this world. it never was in the first place.

"abortion promoting" is such an emotionally-laden use of words and is purposely used to rile people up and against abortion.

I do support the right to abortion as I am pro-choice, but I do not support US dollars helping women in other countries when we need help right here FIRST!

you'd be pleased to know that our foreign aid as a % of GNP is lower than every developed nation but New Zealand.
