Anti Birth Control Eric Keroack Resigns
The following is an email I received from Planned Parenthood:


Dear ------,

Anti-birth control advocate Eric Keroack will no longer oversee Title X, the nation’s family planning program! The day he took office, Planned Parenthood launched a massive grassroots campaign against Keroack, rallying a nationwide groundswell of opposition to his appointment.

PPFA President Cecile Richards issued the following statement on the resignation:

“It’s a good day for women’s health. Keroack was unqualified to run the nation’s family planning program. The Bush administration must replace Keroack with a legitimate, mainstream public health expert who supports family planning and access to birth control. More than 17 million women in our country need access to affordable birth control. The nation’s family planning program should be run by a champion for women’s health and safety.”



Cecile Richards
President
Planned Parenthood Federation of America

1. Someone who is anti family planning
should not be overseeing a antional family planning program. Seems obvious to me, but then, I am not a fundy crackpot Bushbot.

Glad he's gone. Of course we'll probably have to deal with the next fundy wacko that is appointed to the position. Is Phyllis Schaffly available?
