Transcript by: Federal News Service 620 National Press Building Washington, DC 20045 BONNIE ERBE: The Bush administration extends health insurance coverage to fetuses. Is this an effort to increase prenatal care for women or a move to limit abortion rights? ELEANOR HOLMES NORTON: If this administration would spend as much time on our faltering economy as it does on trying to push back on abortion rights, there’d be a lot more folks with jobs in this country today. NANCY PFOTENHAUER: I think it’s a tortured political calculus indeed to make this anything more than prenatal care. MEGAN BEYER: It’s a Trojan horse. It is an anti-choice strategy dressed up as healthcare. ANGELA MCGLOWAN: Finally we have an administration that recognizes the right to life and the unborn. MS. ERBE: Hello. I’m Bonnie Erbe. Welcome to “To the Contrary,” a discussion of news and social trends from a variety of women’s perspectives. This week in the news, as President Bush lobbies for war on Iraq, polls show no gender gap exists in public support for such a war. We discuss why women are becoming more hawkish. Then the fierce debate over the administration’s controversial move to cover fetuses under federally funded health insurance.

  • Learn Which Candidates We Supported in Your Community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE in the POLITICAL PROCESS a Message from Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC
    PFIZER PAC & CORPORATE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS REPORT 2005 – 2006 CYCLE Learn which candidates we supported in your community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS A Message From Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: One of our five immediate priorities at Pfizer is to engage more actively and meaningfully with patients, doctors, payers, governments and other key stakeholders. We’re reaching out to these important groups and working harder to meet their needs. We're also working harder to engage all stakeholders in the dialogue on health policy and actively participate in the discussion over how to improve the quality of healthcare, access to medicines, and incentives for innovation. Pfizer PAC is one of the key ways in which we engage with candidates for public office. Through Pfizer PAC, we support candidates who understand the importance of innovative life sciences companies like Pfizer in fighting disease, improving health outcomes, and ensuring access to vital medicines. This report includes a list of candidates and political committees that Pfizer PAC supported during the 2005-06 election cycle. I hope you will take some time to review this report and see which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your region. This was a successful year for Pfizer PAC. In the past election cycle, Pfizer PAC supported more than 2,277 candidates from both political parties, and at all levels of government. You, and Pfizer colleagues across America, definitely made a difference this past year through Pfizer PAC, by supporting candidates for public office who value access and innovation in healthcare. Thank you for your support—this report explains how Pfizer PAC put your generous contributions to use.
