A Bush administration plan to define several widely used contraception methods as abortion is a “gratuitous, unnecessary insult” to women and faces tough opposition, Sen. Hillary Clinton said on Friday.

The former Democratic presidential candidate joined family planning groups to condemn the proposal that defines abortion to include contraception such as birth control pills and intrauterine devices.

It would cut off federal funds to hospitals and states where medical providers are obligated to offer legal abortion and contraception to women.

nsure that women can get contraception when they want or need it. It also would help protect the rights of medical providers to refuse to offer contraception.

Alrighty then, is not about time to let this go?  Stop meddling into people’s lives.  This is a decision made by an individual and in NO way should concern the government.
