I can’t think of an issue in the so-called culture war that is less controversial than contraception. I have never met anyone, anywhere, in any context that expressed the view that the availability of contraceptions for adults is a bad thing. So, I ask, WTF?
The Bush administration again has appointed a chief of family planning programs at the Department of Health and Human Services who has been critical of contraception.
Susan Orr, most recently an associate commissioner in the Administration for Children and Families, was appointed Monday to be acting deputy assistant secretary for population affairs. She will oversee $283 million in annual grants to provide low-income families and others with contraceptive services, counseling and preventive screenings.
In a 2001 article in The Washington Post, Orr applauded a Bush proposal to stop requiring all health insurance plans for federal employees to cover a broad range of birth control. “We’re quite pleased, because fertility is not a disease,” said Orr, then an official with the Family Research Council.
Fertility may not be a disease but syphilis of the brain most certainly is. Susan Orr must have syphilis of the brain.
Every Sperm Is Sacred – Lyrics
Artist: Monty Python
Album: The Meaning Of Life
DAD:
There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I’ve never been one of them.
I’m a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They’ll take you as soon as you’re warm.
You don’t have to be a six-footer.
You don’t have to have a great brain.
You don’t have to have any clothes on. You’re
A Catholic the moment Dad came,
Because
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.
CHILDREN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.
GIRL:
Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can’t be found.
CHILDREN:
Every sperm is wanted.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.
MUM:
Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.
MEN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
WOMEN:
If a sperm is wasted,…
CHILDREN:
…God get quite irate.
PRIEST:
Every sperm is sacred.
BRIDE and GROOM:
Every sperm is good.
NANNIES:
Every sperm is needed…
CARDINALS:
…In your neighbourhood!
CHILDREN:
Every sperm is useful.
Every sperm is fine.
FUNERAL CORTEGE:
God needs everybody’s.
MOURNER #1:
Mine!
MOURNER #2:
And mine!
CORPSE:
And mine!
NUN:
Let the Pagan spill theirs
O’er mountain, hill, and plain.
HOLY STATUES:
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that’s spilt in vain.
EVERYONE:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite iraaaaaate!
Don’t forget that he tried to put a vet in as head of Women’s Health. And I’m not talking the honorable military kind.
Check this out.
That seared my eyes. As Jack Johnson said, “Where’d all the good people go?”
..or the guy who gave women bible verses to read in response to some female problems. I’d venture to say maybe little bush has some deep seated problems concerning women but then I’d have to say he just has some deep seated problems period. No surprise to anyone here.
hey boo- are you sure that you mean “less controversial” or do you mean More?
This appointment should not surprise you. The consistancy (stupidity) of the piece of shit is breathtaking. Just look at his embarassing performance yesterday. With only 14 months left, this fool struts like a fucking peacock as he explains while he performs for his followers. He cares nothing for the plight of the masses in this country.Forty five million uninsured citizens, the ones that enhance his bank account don’t phase him. He willingly destroys the military in order to enhance his supporters. He touts an economy that is now functioning solely to generate Short Term Profit for the ownership.
This appointment clearly displays his contempt for the citizenry. Simple!
I mean less controversial.
I am speechless and my head is about to explode.
Putting someone in charge of family planning who has stated that contraception is a ‘culture of death’ would sound like very bad satire in any other instance but seems business as usual for bush concerning women’s health.
Just how many times can our heads explode before we turn into gibbering fools like bush?
