It's not that anyone is proposing banning birth control pills and condoms. It's that federal funding under the Bush administration has gone overwhelmingly to groups who support abstinence-only programs versus groups that provide contraceptives. It has also tried to eliminate health insurance coverage for contraceptives for federal employees and their dependents (in the 2002 FY budget).

There are other issues for women out there to be concerned about under Bush, such as the fact that women in the Bush administration get paid 78 cents for every dollar the men in the administration get paid, the fact that Bush's reps have said in the past that women's discriminination are a "very different category for the President" than racial and ethnic discrimination, emergency contraceptive issues, the Global Gaga Rule, possibly appointing Supreme Court justices that could rule to overturn Roe v. Wade, reports of non-profit organizations that offer contraceptives being repeatedly audited, reports of information about women's health being removed from government websites, etc. etc. etc.
