You've gotta be freakin' kidding me!
So I am subscribed to a political email list that keeps me informed whenever our illustrious leader does something stupid. I feel I should share the latest news with y'all. The first paragraphs says:
President Bush's new head of federal family-planning programs believes that birth control is "demeaning" to women.
Hello Monty,
President Bush's new head of federal family-planning
programs believes that birth control is "demeaning" to
women.
Did you have to read that twice? So did I.
Late last week, after pledging to bring the country
together after his electoral losses, President Bush
appointed Eric Keroack to lead the Department of
Health and Human Services' family-planning program -
which supports 4,600 clinics and more than five
million people annually. Putting a doctor who opposes
birth control in charge of a federal family-planning
program is just plain irresponsible. Sign the petition
and say NO to Keroack now.

Keroack has dedicated his career to telling women that
birth control and abortion are wrong. He most recently
was the medical director for A Woman's Concern, which
oversees six anti-choice "crisis pregnancy centers" in
Massachusetts and maintains a policy stating "that the
crass commercialization and distribution of birth
control is demeaning to women, degrading of human
sexuality and adverse to human health and happiness."
Is this the sort of man that YOU want making decisions
about women's contraceptive and family planning
options?
Join NARAL Pro-Choice America in helping to
stop Keroack from assuming this influential position.
Sign the petition and send a message to the Secretary
of Health and Human Services, Mike Leavitt, urging him
to reject Keroack's appointment now.
