House reverses ban on international aid for contraception

But it’s a good news, bad news kinda thing.
The good news:

The House voted narrowly on Thursday to reverse a ban on contraception aid to groups overseas that offer abortions, a pillar of President Bush’s foreign aid policy.

The bad news:

Mr. Bush is likely to veto the proposal, and the veto is likely to be upheld by conservative lawmakers.
