Judge to Ashcroft: #uck you
'A federal judge in San Francisco yesterday rejected the Justice Department's attempt to obtain abortion records from Planned Parenthood Federation of America, a ruling likely to halt demands for as many as 1,000 patient files from clinics around the country, including the Washington area, according to Justice officials and the family-planning group.

'"Today the forces of freedom beat back an unprecedented attempt by the administration to invade one of the most precious rights we have: the right to medical privacy," Gloria Feldt, Planned Parenthood's president, said in a statement.'
