Bush to appoint evangelical as head of FDA

Sun Nov 07, 2004 at 10:20:38 AM PDT

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 lapsed. As a result, the Bush Administration is tasked with filling all eleven positions with new members. This position does not require Congressional approval. The FDA's Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee makes crucial decisions on matters relating to drugs used in the practice of obstetrics, gynecology and related specialties, including hormone therapy, contraception, treatment for infertility, and medical alternatives to surgical procedures for sterilization and pregnancy termination.

Dr. 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. His views of reproductive health care are far outside the mainstream for reproductive technology.

We couldn't take back the Whitehouse but we CAN take back the media...

I just got off the phone with my friend, we went to college together, he's educated, comes from a good family, catholic but nothing extreme, in his 20s, went to a liberal arts college and yet he's become a Bush supporter.  I told him a few bits of information about the evil that is Bush and all he didn't know any of it.  

The PIPA report showed the world that Bush people do not know what Bush actually stands for, and I realized just now it is not just the rural and uneducated that support this regime.  The root of the problem is the pathetic media.  Before anything gets done, the media needs to start doing it's job, the press needs to remember their duty is to inform the public and they are failing miserably.  The PIPA report is a stain on the American media.
