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.
