Two things on the political front tonight:

Bush Administration Trying To Redefine Contraception As Abortion.

Did you catch that?

The New York Times reports that the Bush Administration's Department of Health and Human Services is drafting a rule that would place new restrictions on domestic family planning programs. While current law allows health care providers and professionals to refuse to provide abortions based on their religious beliefs, this provision would threaten the funding of organizations and health facilities if they do not hire people who would refuse to provide birth control and defines abortion so broadly that it would include many types of birth control, including oral contraception.

They are going to HAVE TO hire people who can refuse a woman her birth control pills.

This can't be made any clearer, and why is most or America still shrugging this off? They are going to HAVE TO hire people who can refuse a woman her birth control pills.

I mean, do you see where we're headed with no brakes? I can't be the only one who is freaking out, can I?

Also:


President Bush has asserted executive privilege to prevent Attorney General Michael Mukasey from having to comply with a House panel subpoena for material on the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.


WHAT IF OBAMA DOESN'T WIN?
