WASHINGTON - The Bush administration has appointed a new chief of family-planning programs at the Department of Health and Human Services who worked at a Christian pregnancy-counseling organization that regards the distribution of contraceptives as "demeaning to women."

Eric Keroack, medical director for A Woman's Concern, a nonprofit group based in Dorchester, Mass., will become deputy assistant secretary for population affairs in the next two weeks, department spokeswoman Christina Pearson said yesterday.

Bush continues to take any and every opportunity to shove his oppressive agenda down the throats of the American people. This is unconscionable!

:grr: :argh: :grr:

[KKKarl is an idiot]

1. This guy

will never learn. He is so out of touch with what the people want.

[Jackpine Radical]

2. What was that name again? Strangelove? Dr. Strangelove?

[Phredicles]

3. Gotta love that post-election bi-partisanship...

Oh wait, it's only "partisan" if we disagree with The Decider. :eyes: :grr: :puke:

[LynnTheDem]

4. "Clear Skies". "No child left Behind" . "Healthy Forests".

"Brownie the horse trainer".

"Family Planning" by a nutjob who is anti-family-planning.

5. I know...

"Orwellian" doesn't even begin to cover it anymore...

[smoogatz]

6. K&R. You have to wonder--why are they still pandering to the wingnut

base, now that the mod-terms are over? I guess they're hoping to hand the xtian conservatives over to McCain in '08. Either that, or Bush is intentionally fucking up every government program/function he can get his hands on, because, you know, government is BAd.

[mentalsolstice]

7. Chimpy is so wrapped up in his own little world

Laura had fertility problems, so he doesn't understand that other women seem to get pregnant just looking at a man, and they need reliable contraception. I want my next president to have a broad world view. In fact, I demand it!

8. Can't be any worse than the last guy who was Bush's Director for FDA's Women's Health

I forget the guy's name but he was a gynocologist who woudn't prescribe birth control, gave women scriptures as 'prescriptions' and who's wife divorced him because of his deviant sex practices

[LilyLibber]

10. Bush has a seemingly endless supply...

of these wingnut sexist hypocrites! Seriously, is he minting them in a White House basement lab or something??? :eyes:

[Arkansas Granny]

12. Back in September, 2005, he tried to appoint a veterinarian

as the acting head of the Office of Women's Health at the FDA.

13. There is no end to the insults

and assaults from this administration. No end. :grr:

[Cass]

9. Contraceptives are "demeaning" to women?!?

Someone with this opinion has absolutely no business as director of family planning programs at the DHHS. This is outrageous.

[ismnotwasm]

11. Figures

Come on January. I don't like knocking anybodies daughters, but my best guess is that the Bush twins not only have access to birth control, but the very best of health care. AND choice.
So he appoints an insane ass who will be overseeing policy for poor women.

Another EXCELLENT place to mention how much I loathe bush and his administration.

[SutaUvaca]

14. "How much I loathe bush"

Thank you, ismnotwasm. I was at a loss for words.
I hope these creeps know the proper protocol in January when a Dem enters the Whitehouse, and remember to turn in their resignations. Otherwise, someone's gonna have to flush everyone of these theofacist fools out one by one.

[Control-Z]

15. K&R

:wtf: I'm out of words.:argh:

[let us vote]

16. kick

[elehhhhna]

17. Reep OB's make more MONEY off deliveries than birth control or

abortions. It's just simple Mepublican economics.

[cassiepriam]

18. Is this bi partisanship?? nt
