Our new look

We’re trying out a new look. We may try some more over the next few days. Do let us know what you think!

White House Emulates Stupak

From NARAL:

To our dismay, the Obama administration just announced it will exclude abortion coverage in the temporary health-insurance pools that will transition us into the new health-care system.

I am outraged that such a decision would come from a pro-choice president that we helped elect.

I have contacted the White House, but I need your voice, too. Tell President Obama that this new policy is unacceptable and ask him to change course immediately.

According to the Associated Press, the Obama administration is set to ban abortion services in a new, temporary program for individuals who fall into high-risk pools. This policy means that women who are part of these pools because they have significant health problems, such as diabetes or cancer, will not be able to access abortion care, even if their health is at further risk.

Believe it or not, the administration’s policy is similar to the ban proposed by anti-choice Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.). That’s right. For about three years, a Stupak-style ban will now apply to women in these new high-risk insurance pools.

Not exactly the Sunday cat

PJ wrote to us about the Catorialist, a site of wonderful cat pictures and fresh observations about the cats’ style.   It is clearly inspired by the Sartorialist.

Unfortunately, the cat pics are all covered by copyright, so I can’t give you a preview.
