If there were ever another reason to loathe President Babble-On, here it is: Shutting off funding for Women's Health Clinics because they provide reproductive rights/care information/services...or in Christo-FascistSpeak, Abortion Counselng and Services. Yes, that's right folks, your Presdential Pander Bear is on his knees, sucking up to the likes of Jerry, Pat and Franklin and all thier ilk, because, well his poll numbers suck (YAY!!!) and he needs to feel the love.
President Bush anti-abortion policy has forced family planning clinics in poor countries to close, leaving some communities without any healthcare, according to a report issued Wednesday.
Even faith-based clinics that promote abstinence -- in line with White House policy -- have had to close, according to organizers.
...
"You cannot separate HIV/AIDS, reproductive health and abortion," said Hillary Fyfe, who heads the Family Life Movement of Zambia, a faith-based group working with adolescents on sex education.
While her group does not promote abortion or even condom use, it does talk about the possibility, and that was enough to lose U.S. funding, Fyfe said. Three clinics in Lusaka closed this year.
"We taught natural family planning and abstinence until marriage," Fyfe said in an interview. Now her group will be unable to holds its workshops unless they can find alternative funding, Fyfe said.
Ah, the rythym method; perhaps what GWHB and Barb (Momma Wal-Mart Pearls) practiced and got the Dyslexic Dolt instead. So if you mention Abortion or Condoms, the folks who are served in other area of health care (HIV, Prenatal Care, etc...) are left out in the cold. What kind of choice is that, and how are we as a nation and a people better than savages when we make that kind of choice (or our so-called leaders do, based on politics, not compassion and what's right?).
The Hairy Thunderer is watching and is not amused...once again Genocide is being committed in the name of one of his relatives and that always makes him a bit cranky, I'm told...When y'all go to that big re-ward in the sky I heard that the light is really a TeeVee playing endless loops of "The Devil and Miss Jones". Enjoy.
