Today, the cows mooved Ben Dyer to write that Republicans are :
> - Against abortion (although this is a moot point as it would take a
> constitutional amendment to override it)
Nope, just a Supreme Court decision. But it's not just the threat of
making the act itself illegal -- Republicans oppose laws prohibiting
protesters from preventing access to clinics, or protecting doctors and
clinic workers. Additionally, Republicans have reinstated policy requiring
NGOs which receive US Federal funds from "perform[ing] or actively
promot[ing] abortion"
(http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/20010123-5.html).
