Swoon.  First, she starts off answering the abortion question by admiring the anti-choice legislators "passionate beliefs".  Then, she gives the perfect answer: family planning prevents abortions. And "keeping men and women in ignorance" ie no sex ed "consigns women to a life of oppression".

I was waiting for this...for Hillary Clinton to take off the gloves and go for one more round. What better way to go back to public life than with a public denouncement of the Bush Administration's lame attempt to define contraception as abortion:

"The Bush
Administration is up to its old tricks again, quietly putting ideology before
science and women's health. The U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services is poised to put in place new barriers to accessing common forms of
contraception like birth control pills, emergency contraception and IUDs by
labeling them "abortion."

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.
