President Bush's new head of federal family-planning programs believes that birth control is "demeaning" to women.Because nothing respects women, human sexuality and health, and happiness more than repeated unplanned pregnancies. Damn, if only there were more unwanted babies in this country, we'd be so fucking happy. That's what we are missing.
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 helps more than five million people annually at 4,600 clinics nationwide.
Keroack has dedicated his career to telling women that birth control and abortion are wrong. His M.O.: "the crass commercialization and distribution of birth control is demeaning to women, degrading of human sexuality and adverse to human health and happiness."

Of course! Why didn't we think about that? I find myself terribly degraded by having to take drugs so I don't get seriously ill when my hormones fluctate even a little bit, say once a month or (I'm sure) constantly for 9 months. I could save so much respect if I just popped some babies out, went on welfare, and had that guy personally pay for my children's food, clothing, shelter, and of course college education.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read this I was thinking of how much it will cost to change all their brochures from
ReplyDeletethings like "Options to prevent unwanted pregnacies" to "Shut up and push"..
Oh my fucking god he did not say that. Sometimes I wish I wasn't able to pay attention. But if I don't pay attention my rights will be gone before I know it.
ReplyDeletemy best friend's health insurance does not cover her birth control pill because she is an unmarried woman & it is prescribed for, heaven forbid, birth control! if it were to help regulate her cycle or another 'health' reason, it would be covered. therefore her np has to fudge the reason on the scrip. sickening!
