Captain Abstinence


Amanda Schaffer has a great article on Slate exploring how unhinged Eric Keroack, Bush's appointee to head HHS's family planning program, really is. The more I read about this guy and his organization, the more outraged I am:

I went to Keroack's organization's website. Their current mission statement reads:
A Woman's Concern: Pregnancy Resource Clinic exists to educate, encourage, and empower men and women to make informed life choices.
But, the Internet Archive Wayback Machine has their mission statements dating back to when the site opened in 2000. Their former mission statement reads:
A Woman's Concern: Pregnancy Resource Clinic exists to extend the unconditional love of Jesus Christ to those whose lives may be affected by a challenging or unexpected pregnancy, providing help for their physical, spiritual, emotional, medical and material needs, through counseling, support services and education, thus empowering each one to uphold the value of human life.
Disgusting.
