>>> how to package the plan’s two major components <<<

This is why America is in such trouble: the PR, marketing, and flakery surrounding important social and moral problems that many of us see from principle and not merely from (blecchh) “packaging.”

comprehensive sex education

Anyone care to speculate what the word 'comprehensive' means in this context?

I’m thinking the same thing. At the moment more than half of Americans are opposed to legalized abortion.

When Obama’s spin doctors get through with things and stick him in front of a telepromter, he will end up looking like the only sober opinion on this subject. Then of course, his enablers in the media will finish the job for him.

As the White House readies its plan for finding "common ground" on reproductive health issues and reducing the need for abortion,

RED FLAG FOR PROPAGANDA! RED FLAG FOR PROPAGANDA!

A nasty little secret that redeemed abortion providers have often talked about...

is Planned Parenthood’s very LOW DOSE (cheap) BIRTH CONTROL PILLS which are MUCH LESS EFFECTIVE than normal doses.

The result is a pregnancy and PP making lots of $$$ from the abortion.

Sounds like PP will be offering “comprehensive” birth control programs for Obamacare and making a mint off it.

Backdoor payoff to Planned Parenthood, that's all this is. They would not be obligated to tell pregnant women about alternatives.

The best "common ground" on abortion is to overturn Roe vs Wade and let state legislatures decide the issue as they did before the Supremes in 1973 miraculously discovered a right to privacy from its collective @ss. This is what I hate about the Left. They scream choice but supports the current one-size-fits-all policy that is only inflaming tensions among Americans.

The first 3 sentences of the article contain the phrase “the need for abortion” 3 times. Hmm... one wonders if this will be a slanted article?

The easiest way to reduce unwanted pregnancies is to simply fix or spay all registered Democrats and their children.

It's a "demand" sort of business anyway, so removing "demand" removes the need to provide the "delivery".

The WH has made it clear that is the goal - they don’t have a goal to reduce abortions.

How can anyone believably claim that it is his goal to reduce abortions when he wouldn't answer the simple question "when does life begin" and he voted "Present" on the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. Mister Obama clearly does not believe that the unborn are human, so why should he care even a little bit about protecting them?

One bill would focus entirely on preventing unwanted pregnancy, while the other would focus on supporting pregnant women.

They want a "comprehensive" bill containing both because, if they ran each bill on its own, the pro-life bill would win and the abortion-contraception-fornication-training bill would lose.

“Supporters...say it would force senators and members of Congress on both sides...to compromise their traditional positions, creating true common ground...”

This will not work. Neither side will compromise.

Obama will allow Pelosi to write the bill favoring Taxpayer Abortion on Demand saying that “Republicans would have voted against my bill anyway, so we will go with the NARAL bill.

Boy, I wonder how having low doses of pregnancy hormones wrack the body of the woman?
