WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump has appointed Teresa Manning, an anti-abortion activist who has argued that contraception doesnt work, to oversee a federal family planning program for low-income Americans.
Manning, a former lobbyist with the National Right to Life Committee and legislative analyst for the conservative Family Research Council, will serve as deputy assistant secretary for population affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services. The Office of Population Affairs administers the Title X program, which subsidizes contraception, Pap smears and other preventive health care services for 4 million low-income Americans, roughly half of whom are uninsured.
Manning has said she opposes federal family planning funding, and she has a long history of making false claims about birth control and womens health.

Or if he just accepts whomever the righty wackos tell him to appoint.

but this "let's put someone in place who is sure to fuck it up" mentality is the pits.
