Bush’s Parting Shot On Women’s “Reproductive Rights”

The issue of abortion on demand is one I typically avoid for the most part, except regarding late term and parental notification, but, this one is just was too over the top to ignore Undermining women’s reproductive rights and access to health care has been a pervasive theme of the outgoing administration.

NY Times: Were Those Mumbai Folks Really Terrorists?
