New Bush Appointee:
President Bush has appointed Susan Orr to oversee family planning programs at the Department of Health & Human Services. Ms. Orr is a former Director of Marriage & Family Care for the Family Research Council (!) and a professor at Pat Robertson's Regent University.
She's got some doozies, too.
In 2001, Orr embraced a Bush administration proposal to ?“stop requiring all health insurance plans for federal employees?” to cover a broad range of birth control. ?“We?’re quite pleased, because fertility is not a disease,?” said Orr.
In a 2000 Weekly Standard article, Orr railed against requiring health insurance plans to cover contraceptives. ?“It?’s not about choice,?” said Orr. ?“It?’s not about health care. It?’s about making everyone collaborators with the culture of death.?”
Orr will ?“oversee HHS?’s $283 million reproductive-health program, a $30 million program that encourages abstinence among teenagers, and HHS?’s Office of Population Affairs, which funds birth control, pregnancy tests, counseling, and screenings for sexually transmitted diseases and HIV.?”
Awesome.

Geez...put in charge of ''family planning'' someone who doesn't believe in family planning. That's like making M. K. Gandhi the Secretary of Defense.
