Bush strikes again!
I am getting frightened now. I advise all women to go out and have their doctor write their (birth control) prescriptions for the next four years. I then advise you all to go out and fill them, and hide them in a shoe-box under a floorboard somewhere. Because I have a feeling that our right to choose is going to be eroded away at a faster rate, now that GWB has given himself his mandate, now that he has decided to spend his political capital. By the way, by referring to us as capital, the everyday man, he has implied that we are his (and his corporate buddies') property.
To be outraged even further read this.
and, just to give you a taste of the type of guy our president is going to hand our right to choose over to...
President Bush has announced his plan to select Dr. W. David Hager to head up the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee. The committee has not met for more than two years, during which time its charter has lapsed. As a result, the Bush Administration is tasked with filling all eleven positions with new members. This position does not require Congressional approval.
Hager is the author of "As Jesus Cared for Women: Restoring Women Then and Now." The book blends biblical accounts of Christ healing women with case studies from Hager's practice. In the book Dr. Hager wrote with his wife, entitled "Stress and the Woman's Body," he suggests that women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome should seek help from reading the bible and praying. As an editor and contributing author of "The Reproduction Revolution: A Christian Appraisal of Sexuality, Reproductive Technologies and the Family," Dr. Hager appears to have endorsed the medically inaccurate assertion that the common birth control pill is an abortifacient.

and yes, I realize that the guy was first appointed in 2002, but he was reappointed in 2004, and now GWB is getting cocky.
