...recent afternoon, students and faculty visited a reproductive-health fair featuring displays like "The Politics of Choice," "Barriers to Abortion" and even "Herbal Abortifacients."

Also, Stanford students can now opt to spend their ob-gyn rotation in a Planned Parenthood clinic, where they can observe abortions being performed...

Why, Leahy wanted to know, had Ashcroft been so opposed to Satcher, an OB-GYN and pro-choice advocate? Ashcroft, sensing danger, cited "ethical problems" with Satcher's work, refusing to be more specific, mentioning only one of the doctor's controversial medical research projects. Hatch gave Ashcroft a much-needed breather, lobbing a few softballs at his friend until Kennedy stepped in and hammered away...
