Classifying Contraceptives as Abortions & Tangled Bank 111

PalMD of Denialism Blog and I have both written on the problem of the Department of Health and Human Services attempting to classify both The Pill, and RU-486, as “abortions” for the sake of certain federal laws.  Now Slate has joined the fun, mocking the Bush White House’s continued slide into scientific incomprehensibility and second-class status for women.

Look for more in this week’s edition of “Tangled Bank” (in verse!), and next week’s “Carnival of the Liberals.”
