Washington Monthly reports this morning that the RNC, which has provided coverage for abortion care for its employees for over 18 years and was suddenly "caught out" this week, is now proceeding to remove that coverage from its policy.

Activists from 131 countries convened in Berlin yesterday to recharge a global movement for women's health and rights, opening with an appeal from a leading government minister for countries to earmark 1 percent of their economic stimulus funds for development needs.

Universal health care will save lives, and likely lower the abortion rate. But given a choice between preventing abortion and punishing women for sex, the anti-choice movement chooses the latter every time.

“Radical Feminists, Homosexuals and Abortionists are taking over and The Family and National Sovereignty are under threat!” This seemed to be the mantra of several morning sessions on the third and final day of the World Congress of Families.
