*Pro-Abort Panic: Feds to Recognize Birth Control Pill as Abortion
*

*Washington, D.C. (18 July 2008)* -- One month after American Life 
League's Protest the Pill Day, pro-abortion activists are in a panic as 
the Department of Health and Human Services considers a plan that would 
not only protect pro-life medical workers from discrimination, but also 
recognize abortion to include the birth control pill.

In the wake of yesterday's historic news, pro-life leaders and 
pro-abortion politicians are both considering the ramifications of such 
a federal plan.
 
"This move could redefine the abortion war," said Judie Brown, president 
of American Life League. "For years, many in the pro-life movement have 
been afraid to tackle the birth control pill, but we can't ignore it any 
longer -- the birth control pill often means the death of a preborn child."

Besides protecting pro-life medical workers and recognizing abortion to 
include abortifacient birth control, the regulation could have 
far-reaching effects for Title X funding, which allows Planned 
Parenthood to buy contraceptives at discounted prices using your tax 
dollars. 

Planned Parenthood Federation of America set up a special page on their 
site, imploring supporters to oppose the new regulation. According to 
the PPFA Web site, "The rule would also require ... Planned Parenthood, 
to certify that we will not refuse to hire nurses and other providers 
who object to abortion and even certain types of birth control."

"We're seeing the pro-abortionists squirm because they know," said 
Brown, "that if the American people recognize the personhood of the 
preborn child from creation on, their big money business of selling 
death at discount prices will be over."
