I have the Blondie song, One Way or Another, running through my head thanks to “this story”http://www.feministing.com/archives/009733.html from feministing.com.

If you want to get real sick, read the entire New York Times story (free subscription required).

But if you are a policy junky or a lawyer, this might make sense to you: The proposal defines abortion as follows: “any of the various procedures — including the prescription, dispensing and administration of any drug or the performance of any procedure or any other action — that results in the termination of the life of a human being in utero between conception and natural birth, whether before or after implantation.”

Blah, blah blah. It basically opens up federal family planning dollars to non-family planning organizations. It is gross. And so damn clever on their part. And with just 3 and a half month until the election, it’s the perfect think to throw Planned Parenthood and NARAL into a tizzy. 1/20/09 can’t come fast enough.
