WASHINGTON - Tens of thousands of women gathered for an abortion-rights rally Sunday as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites) told several hundred of them the issue is about women gaining full equality.
At a pre-rally breakfast, Clinton said the Bush administration is "filled with people" who view the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade (news - web sites) abortion ruling by the Supreme Court "the worst abomination of constitutional law."
"This administration is filled with people who disparage sexual harassment laws, who claim the pay gap between women and men is phony ... who consider Roe v. Wade the worst abomination of constitutional law in our history," said Clinton, D-N.Y.

Everytime he even opens his mouth -- let alone writes another "book" or makes another "movie" -- Michael Moore only proves that he's the Limbaugh of the left; or, at best, he's everything the left claims Limbaugh is: fat, hate-filled, erroneous, a liar, misinformed, disinforming, partisan, bigoted, and intolerant.
Мы бьемся насмерть во вторник за среду, но не понимаем уже четверга...

А вот мнение другого читателя:
Reviewer: Gilbert H Miller Jr from FL United States Wow! Michael's done it again! This book hits the nail on the head or maybe prunes the Bush would be a better phrase. As usual, Michael has done his homework, researched and re-researched to bring us reporting worth reading. Whether you're right of, left of or dead center, this is a must-read book if you're at all concerned, truly concerned about our country and its future. If you're a shallow flag-waving jingoist, this isn't for you but if you're a thinking, sensitive concerned American citizen (one who votes-or intends to)this is a must-read.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Bush administration has stripped information on a range of women's issues from government Web sites, apparently in pursuit of a political agenda, researchers reported on Wednesday.
....
The deletions and alterations appear to hew to a political agenda, rather than providing the nonpartisan, unbiased data that has been the tradition of U.S. government reports, the council said.
Its report cited a fact sheet from the Centers of Disease Control that focused on the advantages of using condoms to prevent sexually transmitted disease; it was revised in December 2002 to say evidence on condoms' effectiveness in curbing these diseases was inconclusive.
The National Cancer Institute's Web site was changed in 2002 to say studies linking abortion and breast cancer were inconsistent; after an outcry from scientists, the institute later amended that to say abortion is not associated with increased breast cancer risk.
25 PUBLICATIONS DELETED
At the Labor Department's Women's Bureau Web site, the report said 25 key publications on subjects ranging from pay equity to child care to issues relating to black and Latina women and women business owners had been deleted with no explanation.
Key government offices dedicated to addressing the needs of women have been disbanded, according to the report. These include the Office of Women's Initiatives and Outreach in the White House and the President's Interagency Council on Women.
