More on the contraception brouhaha

Fascinating backgrounder on the politics around birth control going back to the FDR administration. What's most fascinating to me is that the recent Komen misstep and now the war around the birth control provisions in the ACA seem to be a signal that supporters of reproductive rights are starting to push back against the conservatives in effective ways. I suppose it's no accident, then, that I recently felt compelled to start donating ten bucks a month to Planned Parenthood. It feels like this is an issue that could blast a hole in the Republican coalition. Oh yeah, and improve people's lives, too.
