Thanks, Dwight for submitting this. This reports on an important tactic in the abortion wars: the attempt by those who would limit choice to say that birth control equals abortion. Because of Medicare and Medicaid, most health care providers are affected unless they want to deny access to the poor, the disabled and the aged.

As both a Republican and a libertarian, Barry Goldwater may be spinning in his grave.
