elfsBush has apparently appointed another anti-contraceptives activist to Title X. Dr. Susan Orr campaigned against requiring health insurers to cover contraceptives, claiming that it would violate the conscience of insurer. She said that requiring it "would make everyone collaborators in the culture of death." She has also said that birth control should not be covered under insurance anyway because "fertility is not a disease."
I don't see why anyone is at all surprised by this. As I blogged back in November of last year, the previous nominee to Title X, believed that the brain's receptors to sexual pleasure have a limited lifespan and if you have premarital sex, or even masturbate, you use up those receptors and "diminish the power of your brain to maintain a permanent bond with an individual."
This is clearly a trophy posting that the Bush administration believes it can give to the religious right without seriously risking its political capital elsewhere. That's it. Fuck the families who need its support.
