“By blocking funding, Dubya just reversed over seven years of progress, wiped out hundreds of vital overseas health programs, and made it very clear he fully intends to decimate as much of your right to choose as possible without being thrown too painfully into the fiery pits of sanctimonious political hell by intelligent and appalled women everywhere over his vapid gall and aww-shucks misogyny. Just the first dangerous and smirking political salvo in what promises to be a very ugly assault on women’s personal freedom and self-definition, and which will probably devolve into a big dumb GOP-sponsored defense of abstinence and sexual ignorance and the stiffly mechanical God-fearin’ missionary position, in the dark.” – Mark Morford, San Francisco Chronicle, January 24.
