Lame Ducks Should Limp Away!

The Lame Duck has been cramming through new regulations and dismantling as much as possible prior to his successor taking office. (Some of which will be posted as time permits.)

The following is over the top in the potential damage it could cause to women's health issues.
Planned Parenthood had this to say:

This new rule could allow almost 600,000 health care entities that receive federal funding to redefine abortion to include the most common forms of birth control — and then refuse to provide these basic services. For any health provider to intentionally withhold information about widely embraced treatment options from a patient — for any health condition — is absolutely unconscionable under any circumstances. It’s outrageous that President Bush is using his last days in office to implement a rule that would limit the rights of patients to receive complete and accurate reproductive health information.
