Special interests oppose latest Bush appointee

There’s a shocker, huh? Not like it’s ever happened before. But apparently Eric Keroack will become the deputy assistant secretary for population affairs for the Health and Human Services Department. The dispute comes from the fact that he was the medical director of A Woman’s Concern – a non profit Christian pregnancy counseling organization in Massachusetts. Of course all of the usual suspects have turned out for the WaPo article;

Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, called Keroack’s appointment “striking proof that the Bush administration remains dramatically out of step with the nation’s priorities.”

Out of step with the nation’s priorities? I thought the Left wanted to make abortions rare – that’s what Bill Clinton told us. According to this 2001 article I found, that’s what Dr Keroack wants, too. It seems that this nation’s abortion addicts are the ones out of touch with our priorities.

And they oppose Keroack’s appointment just because A Woman’s Concern maintains that abstinence actually reduces the chance a woman will get pregnant? Imagine that.

Of course, it’s nice to see that the President isn’t backing down completely on everything. He still appoints good people to essential jobs despite the Left’s whining.
