  rural women: better start saving those metal coat hangers

The GOP has attached a rider to the spending bill which will changed policy so that hospitals and health care providers which received federal funding can opt out of talking with women about abortion options or providing abortion services.

What does this mean? Well, if you are a woman in a town with limited options for health care, your right to an abortion may just have been taken away.

Looks like Bu$h doesn't need to appoint any judges to limit women's rights to control their health and their bodies... he just had the legislative branches do it for him as part of a must-pass spending bill.

anybody got a coat hanger? we're gonna need 'em...
