President Bush has chosen the wrong man for the job. Again. This past week, Dr. Eric Keroack, an anti-choice and abstinence-only advocate, was appointed as
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Population Affairs. In this post, Keroack would have authority over Title X funding, funding that is supposed to go toward comprehensive family planning services, contraception and STI testing and treatment. As explained by the
Feminist Majority and the
National Organization for Women, Keroack's record shows that he will work not for, but against healthy reproductive choices for women. You can read more about Keroack and why he is an egregious choice for this position
here in an article by Roberta Riley.
