Thoughts from the hospital
Breathing.

Yes, we certainly do have a new president!
On the anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision, the White House issues a statement. The Bush administration was adamantly opposed to allowing women the right to choose; this year a new kind of statement was issued:
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release January 22, 2009
