The choice in choosing

By Tom Driscoll (about the author)     Page 2 of 2 page(s)

opednews.com     Permalink

Barack Obama has stated his position on reproductive choice plainly. There is nothing mysterious or radical about it. His policy outline on women's issues (available on his website) unequivocally states his support for a woman's right to choose, while acknowledging his respect for those who disagree with him on the issue. In the same policy brief he describes his support for specific Federal legislation "to expand access to contraception, health information and preventive services to help reduce unintended pregnancies." The Prevention First Act will also "increase funding for family planning and comprehensive sex education that teaches both abstinence and safe sex methods" as well as "end insurance discrimination against contraception, improve awareness about emergency contraception, and provide compassionate assistance to rape victims."

I suppose if you want to characterize this position as "absolutely radical" -that's really your choice.
