HHS Sec. Leavitt Tries To Dispel Fear of Defining Contraception as Abortion...By Refusing to Discuss

HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt is awfully proud of the controversy from the recent draft regulation on what he calls "Physician Conscience:"
"I'm delighted to announce that with the help of Planned Parenthood, my blog -- for the first time -- received more visits than my teenage son's MySpace page."
Congratulations, Mr. Leavitt! But what about our fear that your new regulation will redefine contraception as abortion -- and reduce access, especially among low-income women, to birth control?
On that topic this is all Mr. Leavitt had to say:
"This regulation would not be aimed at changing or redefining any of that."
