Good news?

"The United States bowed to global opposition today at a United Nations conference on women's equality and dropped its insistence that a document being put to a vote later in the day include an antiabortion amendment."

...but apparently delegates stopped pushing for an amendment because they thought they'd reached an understanding with UN leaders. Reminds me of something Jeb Bush said in Florida after the gay marriage initiatives, that an amendment would be redundant when coupled with the DOMA, which already sufficiently "defended" marriage.
