Sanity?

(From CAP) Abortion opponent Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) and pro-choice Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) yesterday introduced a bill "aimed at reducing abortions by preventing unintended pregnancies, supporting pregnant women and assisting new parents." Provisions include adoption tax credits, funding for nurses to make home visits for teenage and new mothers, expanded access to contraceptive services for low-income women, funding for family planning services, and a mandate "that states provide contraceptive coverage to women with incomes up to twice the federal poverty level." Supporters say the bill moves beyond the "narrow and entrenched" abortion debate and demonstrates that pro-choice advocates care as much about supporting women who choose to have and raise their children, as they do about women who seek to prevent or end an unintended pregnancy.
