It’s no secret that opponents of abortion have also been waging a war against birth control in recent years. Socially conservative lawmakers in Wisconsin and elsewhere have complied with proposals aimed at allowing pharmacists to refuse to dispense birth control and prohibiting university health systems from distributing emergency contraception.
So it was perhaps of little surprise that the Bush administration has been quietly working on draft regulations that would further restrict the contraceptive options family planning clinics are able to offer their low-income clients, if the clinics receive federal funds.
