The wacky Bush Administration is defending Eric Keroack, the new Bush hire for overseeing federal family-planning programs. Abstinence guru Keroack has served for more than a decade as the medical director for a group that opposes birth control and dispenses scientifically inaccurate information. Actually the "group" is a chain of crisis pregnancy centers. Only in the wacky White House does this look good on your resume.
In the 'judgment' of Bushie all this makes Keroack the Quack qualified to oversee "HHS's $283 million reproductive-health program," as well as "a $30 million program that encourages abstinence among teenagers."
The Department of Health and Human Services says never mind about all that, Keroack is too qualified because ... wait for it.... because he has actually prescribed birth control!
Yeah, but what I want to know is why do rightwing christian zealots even aspire to be gynecologists? And when are Laura and Barbara and Jen going to step forward with some tell-all testimonies on the real qualifications of anti birth control OB-GYNs?
Did I mention that Keroack the QUACK preaches that "premarital sex disrupts brain chemistry," which contructs a physiological barrier to happily-ever-after marriages?
If you were actually insane enough to make an appointment with OB-GYN Keroack, rhymes with QUACK, you'd have to wait for it cause his license to do whatever it is he does has actually expired! I'm guessing that makes him doubly qualified in the eyes of our Commander-in-La-La-Land.
Keroack the Quack began his new job yesterday. He will oversee the Title X family-planning program, which has "a federal mandate to provide information and access to birth control, as well as pregnancy tests and counseling."
