You obviously have some kind of blind spot.

THE POINT I AM MAKING to you, is that by you propagating the MYTH that something has changed, that Obama has somehow THROWN WOMEN UNDER THE BUS, you are FEEDING INTO THE GOP's hands. You are doing their work for them.

Is THAT what you want?

NOTHING has changed. The Hyde Amendment still stands. There is NO NEW LEGISLATION. This is PURELY a political move to insure the passage of healthcare reform. Women would be BETTER SERVED if you assured them of that -- and let them know that Obama does NOT support the pro-lifers. And that this signing is NOT symbolic but purely POLITICAL. A means to an end.

I don't know how much clearer I can be than that.

And by the way, I remember when my sister went to a back alley in Chinatown to get an abortion but couldn't go through it because the place was a pit and the "doctor" was a sleazy bastard who didn't really look as if he knew what he was doing. Instead, she was forced to have the child and put her up for adoption. So I'm WELL AWARE of what it was like in the days gone by.
