Obama persuaded the Democrats to drop a provision expanding Medicaid contraception coverage from the economic stimulus bill. The Wash Post describes this as a "show of faith" - a willingness to compromise by responding to conservative criticism of the provision. The bill would have saved hundreds of millions of dollars in Medicaid payments. Planned Parenthood asks you to call or email the White House and has more information. Obviously, there has to be compromise in the creation of the economic stimulus package, but it makes no sense to drop a provision that would save money and prevent abortions.
