* I don’t appreciate the attempt to put a woman’s birth control choices in the hands of someone other than the woman concerned. There’s been a great deal of discussion re: the leaked memo and a certain politician’s quest to see birth control reclassified as abortion. We’ve got until September 30 to be heard. Go to Tamora Pierce’s journal for a collection of useful links on the subject.

Thanks Cherie....

The real problem here is, as usual, ambiguous wording. The re is the possibility that this could be stretched to refuse to issue birth control to women. That is NOT okay, and this is not the first time this issue has been raised.
