By Maggie Fox\ABC NewsFamily planning groups and at least one member of Congress objected on Tuesday [July 15, 2008] to a Bush administration memo that defines several widely used contraception methods as abortion and protects the right of medical providers to refuse to offer them.

The proposal circulated to media defines abortion broadly to include many types of contraception, including birth control pills and intrauterine devices.
