The Barefoot/Pregnant Regulation

The Bush administration's Department of Health and Human Services is proposing a new regulation that would treat birth control pills as abortion devices.

A draft regulation, still being revised and debated, treats most birth-control pills and intrauterine devices as abortion because they can work by preventing fertilized eggs from implanting in the uterus. The regulation considers that destroying "the life of a human being."

Maybe the Bush Administration and their supporters on the religious right should just call this the "Barefoot/Pregnant" regulation.

Because that's the way they want to keep American women.
