Google AdWords Policy Disallows Ads for Abortion Services in Over a Dozen Countries -- BOO!!! (and a totally bullshit response from them, too)

Peg and I were invited guests at a historic event: June 29, 2009 marked the first time a United States President ever hosted a reception for LGBT people at the White House. I was there representing BiNet USA and the Bisexual Resource Center (BRC).
From NARAL, message your congresscritters -- this is important!
Senators on the Finance Committee are finalizing the health-care reform bill right now. Anti-choice senators are pressuring them to bar insurance plans from covering reproductive-health services.
From NARAL, some credit where credit is definitely due:
FAME: MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show"
Let's give credit where credit is due. Rachel Maddow at MSNBC continues to devote significant time to thoughtful coverage of Dr. Tiller's murder and how it is part of a much broader pattern of violence, intimidation, and legislative gamesmanship designed to block women’s access to safe, legal abortion.
For many Americans, particularly those too young to remember the violence of the 1990s, Maddow's program has provided a tremendous public service, and should serve as a guide for other news programs.
Our gratitude to Ms. Maddow and her team.
