BECAUSE IF "pROGRESSIVE" MEANS ANYTHING...:

Progressives Hope U.S. Shifts Global Social Policy (Colum Lynch, 1/18/09, Washington Post)

After being shut out for eight years by the Bush White House, social progressives are pressing President-elect Barack Obama to transform the way the United States deals with matters of sex, marriage and religious values in the international arena.

The battle will play out in upcoming U.N. conferences and meetings that set international norms on issues including human rights, public health, family planning and HIV/AIDS. But advocacy groups of varying stripes have already begun pressing the administration to end an era in which faith-based groups blocked funding for abortions in the developing world and helped place conservative values -- including abstinence-only sex education -- at the heart of U.S. health efforts.

...it means upper-middle class white folk killing colored babies.
