It's short and sweet, and totally worth the time. Besides his obvious love for the female body, the graphic makes one of the best points I've seen so far in the women vs. government debate about health care.
Meanwhile, Obama stresses yet again the importance of healthcare and that it be available to everyone. While he surely has his own beliefs and morals, he realizes it is his job to take care of all Americans, and he is giving it his best shot.
Last but not least, Nancy Kaufman cuts through the crap and says what's really going on:
The whole environment surrounding a woman's right to access a safe, legal abortion -- the waiting periods, the ultrasounds, the lectures, the so-called informed consent -- is premised on the assumption that women are not capable of making their own moral, religious, and ethical decisions without the intrusion and supervision of the government. These requirements demean women as independent actors, particularly when it comes to making decisions about their own bodies and their own health care. They are intended to dissuade women from making a decision that is legally theirs to make by applying social pressure channeled by a legislative body.
That pretty much sums it up.
