His action means the world's poorest women will now have access to birth control, pre-natal care, and other basic health services. No money will be spent on abortion services because federal law prohibits that. We shouldn't be surprised at Burnett's distortions since anti-choice groups use the same tactics to attack family-planning programs that help women here at home.

At a time when our country faces immense economic challenges, we are working with President Obama to help women who are hurt by this economic crisis, including those who've lost their health insurance and cannot afford basic health care like birth control and annual exams. These common sense, common ground ideas will help women prevent unintended pregnancy and thus reduce the need for abortion. It is unfortunate that, instead of joining President Obama in advancing these measures in Washington, Burnett uses her time to launch divisive and inaccurate political attacks that didn't work during the presidential campaign and won't work now.
