From the Center for Reproductive rights: "Not surprisingly, the opponents of reproductive rights are furious about today's decision. The anti-choice group Americans United for Life just launched an alert rallying their supporters to "sustain the attack against tax-payer funded abortion." They've created the "Federal Abortion-Mandate Opt-Out Act"—which eight states have already used to block insurance plans currently covering abortion from receiving federal funding in their state exchanges."
Sigh.

Vomit. That is the word that came to mind, but the sound I uttered while reading that alert was more like...Phfttt!!!
