...wanted to distribute the provider information to the newspapers, but we were worried that we might be charged as accomplices in abortions - which was an actual threat back then - if we spread the word.

...House Democrats, meanwhile, have an actual short-term economic stimulus plan: a fast-acting, temporary, perfectly reasonable combination of rebate checks, fiscal relief for states and short-term investment inducements with a net 10-year cost, they say, of about $36 billion. It would provide a measurable short-term boost to the economy. It won't break the budget. But as the Republicans gird for the spring's big battle, the White House seems to betting on two things besides Bill Frist and his slight numerical edge in the Senate. One, that people will overlook the costs when the budget...
