Re: Contraception Official [John Podhoretz]
K-Lo, there's something thrillingly countercultural about the thought that the Bush administration has apppointed an opponent of contraception to a job at HHS dedicated to getting out the good word about contraception. The only thing better would be to appoint a vegan activist to the job of Chief Meat Inspector. That said, the statement you quote by Eric Keroack — "the crass commercialization and distribution of birth control is demeaning to women, degrading of human sexuality and adverse to human health and happiness" — is pretty astounding. It's one thing to oppose the sexualization of teenagers, particularly teenage girls. But Keroack calls contraception "demeaning to women." Sorry, but yes, I think that's pretty crazy.
