Invoking 9/11 to defend this administration's policies regarding reproductive rights was an insensitive and divisive overreach.Way to go, Gloria Feldt!
We are all Americans, and we are patriots, too, Ms. Hughes. And we will not cease in our efforts to fight the attempts by this administration and this Congress to restrict reproductive rights, family planning, medical privacy, and so many other important factors in a woman's right to care for herself and her family without intrusion from government or politicians. We do this precisely because we value human life and dignity so much.
Your friends in the administration have repeatedly stated that our troops are fighting for freedom: to allow people to control their own lives and make their own decisions. Yet this administration and this Congress are working to take away American women's rights to make their own decisions.
Update: Karen Hughes says that's not what she meant, but doesn't really say what she did mean.
