Health and Human Services Now Say the use of Contraception is Abortion

Last week I posted about one of McCain's surrogates saying that it isn't fair that insurance companies cover Viagra, but not birth control.

Well, on Monday the Department of Health and Human Services announced that they hope to define contraception as a form of abortion.

In a spectacular act of complicity with the religious right, the Department of Health and Human Services Monday released a proposal that allows any federal grant recipient to obstruct a woman's access to contraception. In order to do this, the Department is attempting to redefine many forms of contraception, the birth control 40% of Americans use, as abortion. Doing so protects extremists under the Weldon and Church amendments. Those laws prohibit federal grant recipients from requiring employees to help provide or refer for abortion services.
