More news on Bush/Cheney treachery. It seems that Bush appointeted one Dr. David Hagel to a position at the F.D.A. He is "director of human-reproductive drugs"... (or some such similar title). With this position, he has sucessfully blocked the "over-the-counter" availability of "Plan-B"... a type of emergency contraception using high levels of birth-control drugs, taken within 72 hours of un-protected sex. Claiming that such availability would "encourage" young women to engage in sex, he has prevented "Plan-B" from being available without prescription. "Plan-B" emergency contraception has ACTUALLY shown to DECREASE incidents of abortion, where it has been available!! Since Bush "Took-office", rates of abortions have ACTUALLY INCREASED, due to tighter restrictions on birth-control!!! Dr. Hagel has written several books about "human-sexuality and women's-issues". Contained in his writings are "expert" recomendations that women who experience P.M.S. should "Pray to Jesus"for relief. He is recognized "Evangelical", "Fundamental" "Christian" "Neo-Con" who has NO RIGHT to address women's reproductive issues. ESPECIALLY when you consider his history... It has "come-to-light" that his ex-wife sought her divorce from him, as the result of frequent and violent sexual-assaults. She has accused him of numerous cases of "forced-sodomy"; WHICH HAPPEN TO BE "4TH-DEGREE" FELONIES IN HIS HOME-STATE!!! It seems that Bush has appointed a "Sex-Criminal" to head the F.D.A. position which controls women's reproductive medicine!!! Bush's finacial-support of "Abstinance-only" birth-control programs has been massive, yet totally innefective. Such "Abstinance-Only" programs stress ONLY abstinance from vaginal-intercourse.... a philosophy which has ACTUALLY INCREASED OTHER VERY-DANGEROUS FORMS OF SEXUAL ACTIVITY!! These "Just-Say-No" approaches have actually INCREASED levels of "S.T.D.s" from non-vaginal-sex!!! I say again, Bush thinks that "Enlightenment" has something to do with light-bulbs!!!... "Spiritual-Enlightenment" means changing the light-bulbs in the church!!........Dave
