Thousands Rally for Reproductive Health in D.C. 
------------------------------------------------



Thousands of people rallied on Capitol Hill Thursday to protest the
Republican-led effort against women's reproductive health programs.
Since taking control of the House in January, Republican lawmakers have
proposed measures that would cut off public funds for abortions, bar
federal funds from covering any abortion-related health plan costs and
deny federal family planning grants to any organizations that perform
abortions, regardless of whether or not the organization uses that
federal money for abortions.
