This is from Salon's War Room Blog:
As if you haven't yet had your fill of the secret lives of the religious right, there is this week's report in The Nation exposing accusations against Dr. W. David Hager, the Christian anti-abortion activist ob-gyn that George Bush appointed to the FDA's Advisory Committee for Reproductive Health Drugs in 2002. Hager has made it his mission to prevent emergency contraception from being sold over the counter (and has so far been successful) and has also campaigned to halt distribution of RU-486. He is the author of books like "As Jesus Cared for Women," and is a member of Focus on the Family's Physician Resource Council, and of the Christian Medical and Dental Society. The Nation quotes a passage from "As Jesus Cared for Women," in which Hager writes, "Even though I was trained as a medical specialist, it wasn't until I began to see how Jesus treated women that I understood how I, as a doctor, should treat them."
Actually, according to his ex-wife Linda Davis (formerly Linda Carruth Hager), he treated women in a most un-Jesus-like manner -- by sodomizing them against their will. Davis claims he anally raped her from 1995 to the time of their divorce -- after 32 years of marriage -- in 2002. "I probably wouldn't have objected so much, or felt it was so abusive if he had just wanted normal [vaginal] sex all the time," David told the Nation. "But it was the painful, invasive, totally nonconsensual nature of the [anal] sex that was so horrible."
Davis also told the Nation that Hager had extramarital affairs, pressured her to let him videotape them having sex, and paid her to perform sexual acts she hated, like oral sex and sodomy. When she developed narcolepsy, she said, he began sodomizing her against her will while she slept. "Since [the sodomy] was painful and threatening, I woke up. Sometimes I acquiesced once he had started, just to make it go faster, and sometimes I tried to push him off ... I would [confront] David later, and he would say, 'You asked me to do that,' and I would say, 'No, I never asked for it.'"
In the wake of the Nation exposé, Hager has announced that he will not be seeking another term on the FDA's advisory board when his term ends June 30. Perhaps now he'll have time to visit Alan Colmes and really open up about his personal life.
Hey, wouldn't it be funny if they threw an election and one party won because of its firm commitment to moral values, a faith-based worldview and a stand against such repugnant deviancy as gay marriage? And wouldn't it be even more hysterical if some of that party's loudest advocates of moral values had in fact been boinking mules and watermelons, and treating their wives like prostitutes?
