BY LifeSiteNews.com WASHINGTON, Apr 3, 2001 (LSN.ca) - Last Friday the Bush administration sent a letter to the state directors of Medicaid saying that RU-486 will be subjected to the same restrictions as surgical abortion. The letter by the Department of Health and Human Services notes that funding for the drug will only be provided in extreme circumstances and that state restrictions on abortion such as a 24-hour waiting period, parental notification and counselling should also apply to RU-486. Also, in a very encouraging sign to pro-lifers, the President shut down the White House Office for Women’s Initiatives and Outreach. Wendy Wright, communications director of Concerned Women for America, noted, “that office was really just to promote a radical feminist agenda. There are other views that are finally getting a hearing in the White House.” See the coverage from the Washington Post:  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19726-2001Mar30.html http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/bush-restricts-ru-486-funding-and-closes-white-house-feminist-office/
