A source present at today's White House signing ceremony for the Lilly Ledbetter bill tells me that President Obama gave assurances that the family planning aid would be done soon -- perhaps as soon as next week, when the House is set to take up a spending bill that would keep the government funded until October.
A little note to those who were, understandably, concerned about losing this battle - sometimes a tactical retreat is the best way to position yourself for victory in the overall battle. Especially when it's clear that you have another path to conquering the same territory.
Obama's going to let us down, I'm sure, but I don't think this is one of those times. Trust, but verify.
