Bush appoints anti-birth control fundamentalist to run family planning program
delalluvia:
What Mel and injest said. The guy is particularly bad to be in the position because he is anti-contraception.
I know the type and they are almost always Born Agains and fundamentalists and the Born Agains are usually the most hypocritical. They believe that STDs and unwanted pregnancies could be prevented if only unmarried people would stop having sex!
Therefore if people come down with STDs or unwanted pregnancies, it is their own fault for not following the mandates of God who is only trying to care for us and those sinners should pay for it, both spiritually, physically and economically. To try to solve the problem is to try to avoid punishment from god for their sinful ways.
::) ::) ::) Yeah, I know.
This is the compassion of these people who - by the by - think nothing of avoiding god's punishment to them by feeding their kids antibiotics and having corrective surgery when they become ill. One of my Born Again friends is a hypocrite of the worst sort. He believes all single people should not have sex if they are not married.
This is after he had a nice normal young adulthood of having sexual threesomes in college, 'dating' topless dancers by the half dozen and pretty much trying to score with any woman who would have him. He was faaaaaaar from being a virgin when he got married, but now sees no problem in passing judgment on others who lead the same life he did.
Dubya's man is probably very similar in attitude and not the kind of person who should be in charge of this program. Funding has already been cut to Planned Parenthood, though thankfully, only a 3rd of their funding came from the government. The rest is from private donations and organizations.
The countries with the smallest percentage of pregnant teenagers and STDs are those Scandinavian countries that emphasize birth control and safe sexual practices to their children from almost grade school.
A man who preaches abstinence in charge of such an important family planning program is a step backward, not forward.

I am not judging him. He has already admitted as such and he is already in support of such actions. I don't have to judge him, I"m merely stating the obvious and clearly written.
