Republican's trying to limit a woman's right to choice doesn't surprise me at all. It was obvious to me that installing Bush in the White House would result in a decrease if not abolition of choice. What does surprise me is the clause that concerns the elimination of health insurance coverage for contraception for federal employees. What in heck is that all about? Didn't this same Congress pass health insurance coverage for Viagra? This is an outrage!

Isn't it reasonable that contraception would help deter abortion? Especially when these women are working with guys that can get prescription coverage for erection enhancing drugs!! Am I missing something here about the lack of logic?

I agree with the ideas behind some of these initatives but I have two problems with them. One is why push so hard against contraceptives? The other is the same problem I have with Roe vs. Wade. Both this pro-life push and the pro-choice Roe vs. Wade decision make a federal issue in an area that the constitution gives the feds no power.
