Dems Get Aggressive: Hillary Clinton and Patty Murray block nomination over morning-after pill

I thought this piece of news was encouraging. ..

Sen.'s Hillary Clinton(NY) and Patty Murray(WA) have said that they will hold up the vote to confirm Bush' nominee for the Food and Drug Administration, Dr. Lester M. Crawford, until the FDA finally makes a decision on selling the morning-after pill over the counter. "I'm prepared to hold it for as long as it takes to get a decision made," Clinton said. The FDA has still not made a ruling on the issue, even though the pill was recommended for over-the-counter sales in Dec. 2003. Its clear that the Bush administration is holding this up on ideological grounds even though its clear that pill has been approved as "safe." It's nice to see some Democrats actually doing some fighting for a change though, isn't it!
