No more gag order

Obama's lifting the gag order that restricts organizations that receive federal funding from mentioning abortion, which Reagan had put in place, then Clinton reversed, then Bush re-reversed. In short: exciting!

Also, folks I volunteer with say that things are in the works to allow federal funding for needle exchange programs. People have a lot of strong feelings about such programs, but I've seen the importance of needle exchange firsthand, so again: exciting!
