Digby: A Win For Moderation

This is what it's come to:

Despite his work for a Christian pregnancy counseling group that opposes contraception, the physician who yesterday began overseeing federal family-planning programs has prescribed birth control for his patients, a Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman said.

Out of all the doctors in the country they had to pick one for whom it was necessary to issue a statement like that one. I never thought I'd live to see the day when birth control would once again be a subject of controversy. It's quite stunning. After all, I'm old. This one, at least, seemed settled.
