Subject: family planning amendment (and the pope)
This is good news.  Interesting that it happened 3 days after the pope (an 
outspoken oppugnant of contraception in any form, not to mention gay 
rights) died.



Family Planning Amendment
http://capwiz.com/congressorg/issues/votes/?votenum &chamber=S&congress 91
Vote Agreed to (52-46, 2 Not Voting)

During consideration of the $34 billion Foreign Affairs Authorization Act, 
the Senate approved this amendment that would reverse a U.S. policy that 
prohibits foreign aid from going to organizations that provide or discuss 
abortion services.

Sen. Carl Levin voted YES
