Abortion Funding Advances With GOP Help

Alan: If you can draw the line somewhere, people of conscience can draw the line just about anywhere.

Abortion funding for Peace Corps volunteers advances with GOP help. "Congress has repeatedly blocked federal funding for abortions for Peace Corps members, even in the event of rape, incest, or life endangerment. Until now. For the first time, the Senate and House Appropriations Committees have both approved bills that lift the ban on abortion funding for volunteers in the above circumstances. The movement gives reason to believe Congress may actually approve the funding this year." Sophie Novack in National Journal.
