By Neil Sinhababu People should click over to Feministe for a moment and look at Jill's pictures: Bush signing the Partial-Birth Abortion act in 2003, and Obama signing the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009. In addition to other things, I like the sheer joy in the second one. In related happy news, Elana Schor and Lindsay Beyerstein tell us that Democrats plan to pass the stripped-out birth control provision from the stimulus in separate legislation. (Elana has it going into a House spending bill, Lindsay has it in the Senate version of the stimulus legislation, maybe we'll see both.) If that happens, a smart Obama-Pelosi-Waxman team effort will have destroyed the House GOP's bipartisan credibility at no cost.
