News Welcome to the Theocracy
posted by November 17 at 13:01 PM
onAs I noted yesterday, Bush’s new appointee to oversee the federal office family planning and reproductive health, Eric Keroack, is a nut job who thinks having too many sex partners causes brain damage. (A revealing presentation by Keroack on this subject, replete with apparent crayon drawings and claims like “PRE-MARITAL SEX is really MODERN GERM WARFARE,” can be found here.
Keroack is currently medical director of A Woman’s Concern, a Christian “crisis pregnancy” organization that opposes not just abortion but contraception, on the grounds that it increases out-of-wedlock pregnancy and abortion rates. Among other inaccurate assertions, A Woman’s Concern claims that abortion causes breast cancer, “emotional coldness, repeat abortions, and suicide,” and infertility. (They also claim that emergency contraception causes abortion and that life begins at conception.)
He’s also on the board of the Abstinence Clearinghouse, which works to promote abstinence and prevent schools from providing medically accurate sex education, which is supported by the vast majority of Americans.
Keroack will oversee Title X funding, which is supposed to provide access to contraception and reproductive health information to low-income American women.
(Update: The GAO reports that the majority of government-funded abstinence-only programs are not reviewed for scientific accuracy before they receive federal funding. Awesome.)

They just want to keep people breeding. Need to increase the pool of unskilled labor, so they can continue to exploit it.
Please tell me he's using those Far Side cartoons without permission.
As I page through those PowerPoint slides, I am reminded of two unalterable facts: PowerPoint is the worst thing humans ever invented, and Eric Keroack is a whack job. Un-fucking-believably bad work.
The Bush War on Science has taken another giant leap forward.
This is better than his (Bush's) appointment of John ASS-croft to AG a week after promising to be a uniter.
Two more years. That's all we got left with this c-sucker...
this appointment has had me (and my vagina) all up in arms this week. thank you for staying on top of this story, erica.
Nobody else has noticed that his last name is too close to that of the Great Author/Great Drunk, Jack Kerouac.
I just had a very interesting conversation with someone from Gary Larsen's company. They do, in fact, take a very keen interest in people using his cartoons without permission. It would be funny if Mr. Kook Pseudo-Science was brought down over copyright violations!
But "On The Road" was such an important piece of literature... oh, wait, wrong guy.
Damn you CHZA
Seriously though, should any of us be surprised?
What a fucking asshat!
These are the same people who will earnestly explain to you how tubal ligation causes menopause, and vasectomy causes lupus. I'm really starting to wonder if any of them take biology classes, or if they get all their science education from 4000-year-old badly-translated folk stories.
Nothing like a lawsuit to brighten an anti-science fundamentalist's day!
Can we hope for a jail term?
Another reason why the new Congress has to get rid of Bush. His appointees are completely wrong for the jobs they are given. End the madness now.

Why'st the fool play thou?
Because fools always follow.
Followest what?
Because fooly are always follying?
