I'm in love with the new President.
I've kept the NY Times, the Wall Street Journal, People Magazine, and even last week's TV Guide, for the beautiful pictures.
I admit, I was a little worried when January 23rd came and went without a word about the gag rule. But on Friday, late afternoon, the President lifted it. What that means simply -- the U.S. will once again fund family planning programs around the world, most importantly the UNFPA.

The most important way we can prevent unplanned pregnancies and save women's lives (from unsafe and illegal abortion fatalities) is to provide contraceptives as part of an overall strategy to empower women. Seems like common ground to me.

Agreed, but please allow me to add that free and responsible use of contraceptives *also* saves foetus's lives from both unsafe and illegal abortions and "safe" and legal ones which are never safe from the perspective of the developing human being inside a potential mother's womb. . . Let's affirm and promote some respect for the inherent worth, and even dignity, of these developing human beings even if they are cannot necessarily be considered to be "persons".
