I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Buffistas! Please consider sending Health and Human Services a comment on their proposed rule to allow doctors and other health care providers to refuse to give treatments they find objectionable to patients.
See yesterday's Opinion piece by Hillary Clinton and Cecile Richards in the NYT: [link]
LAST month, the Bush administration launched the latest salvo in its eight-year campaign to undermine women’s rights and women’s health by placing ideology ahead of science: a proposed rule from the Department of Health and Human Services that would govern family planning. It would require that any health care entity that receives federal financing — whether it’s a physician in private practice, a hospital or a state government — certify in writing that none of its employees are required to assist in any way with medical services they find objectionable.
The regulation, and instructions for comments (due by Sept 25th) are here: [link]
