Sen. Hillary Clinton Irate Over Bush Administration Abortion Plan

Hillary Clinton has come out and stated that she is strongly opposed to the Bush administration proposal to change abortion, and how it is defined.

Sen. Clinton argued that the plan would restrict women, limiting access to family planning services.

It would turn away medical providers from offering legal abortion, contraception, among other things.

The new Bush administration proposal would change how abortion is defined, including in the definition the use of birth control pills, among other devices.

It would thus give medical providers the power to refuse to provide contraceptives to women, putting their health in danger.

Sen. Clinton stated “This is a gratuitous, unnecessary insult to the women of the United States of America. These rules pose a dire threat to women’s health, to health-care providers, and to uninsured and low-income Americans seeking care. It is a disgrace, but unfortunately it is not a surprise.”

She added at a press conference held at the Bellevue Hospital that, “We will not put up uwith this radical, ideological agenda to turn the clock back on women’s rights.”
