Ellen Goodman had an excellent article in the News & Observer today. She responds to the Democratic Party's soul searching on choice, Sen. Clinton's speech and comments from folks in the media and Congress.

However, Pres. Bush's FDA is blocking emergency contraception from going over the counter and is promoting failed abstinence programs.
