BUSH ATTACK ON BIRTH CONTROL

[newscaster]

THIS E-MAIL TO ME FROM A US DISTRICT COURT JUDGE IS OF IMPORTANCE TO ALL OF US.

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,361521,00.html


President Bush has announced his plan to select Dr. W.
David Hager to Head up the Food and Drug
Administration's (FDA) Reproductive Health Drugs
Advisory Committee. The committee has not met for more
than two years, during which time its charter lapsed.
As a result, the Bush Administration is tasked with
filling all eleven positions with new members.

This position does not require Congressional approval.

The FDA's Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee
makes crucial decisions on matters relating to drugs
used in the practice of obstetrics, gynecology and
related specialties, including hormone therapy,
contraception, treatment for infertility, and medical
alternatives to surgical procedures for sterilization
and pregnancy termination.

Dr. Hager, the author of "As Jesus Cared for Women:
Restoring Women Then and Now." The book blends
biblical accounts of Christ healing Women with case
studies from Hager's practice. His views of productive
health care are far outside the mainstream for
reproductive technology. Dr. Hager is a practicing
OB/GYN who describes himself as "pro-life" and refuses
to prescribe contraceptives to unmarried women.

In the book Dr. Hager wrote with his wife, entitled
"Stress and the Woman's Body," he suggests that women
who suffer from premenstrual syndrome
should seek help from reading the bible and praying.

SNIP

We are concerned that Dr. Hager's strong religious
beliefs may color his assessment of technologies that
are necessary to protect women's lives or to preserve
and promote women's health.

SNIP

(ITS TIME NOW TO FLOOD THE NEWSPAPERS, TV NETWORKS, TALK SHOWS, ETC
AND ALERT THEM TO THIS BACK DOOR ATTACK ON ABORTION AND BIRTH CONTROL.)

1. I find this to be reprehensible if true.

"Pray" if you experience Premenstrual symptoms?

Holy Shit. My wife would kill this guy if he even suggested not taking ibuprofen and chocolate.

This is not a Doctor - this is a shaman... and not a very good one I might guess.

I shall look into this.

5. I wish

All fundie men who think they can speak for me,were made pregnant, made to have female problems making them lose it, and be forced to pray as thier suffering was pooh pooed called a moral weakness,or ignored.
I wonder how they'd like being "covered" by an arrogant"superior" like a woman is forced to obey, like what they expect of women in thier sick religion?
I bet they couldn't take what a woman copes with,under thier bully asshole because these maggots are the weakest moralally relativuistic scum on this Earth there is.To these assholes disagreeing witrh thier religion is grounds to be tortured and they are blind to the horrible evil to human beings being perpetuated in thier religion. So of coturse these zealous losers have no love and empathy for women themselves.

4. you really want to get him?

google ob/gyn society and have at it. there are websites for magazines that publish magazines dealing with women`s health issues-i know i mailed out thousands of them each month. these are the people to e-mail-they will tell their patients what is going on. the mainstream media could give a shit less about women`s health issues unless it`s sweeps week...

7. Great suggestion

6. what a ding-dong

doesn't know anything about premenstrual syndrome treatment.

I am down on the bathroom floor, throwing up, doubled up in pain from cramping, sweating and running a fever.

For me, the solution is to start taking ibuproferen immediately and then every 4 hours. I found this out after asking every single GYN for over 20 years what I could do about this.

Other women need other meds, including using the Pill to regulate their periods.

What is this guy, the Taliban?

I've done my share of praying over needless pain. God finally showed me a GYN with the answers. I hope other women find their solution to this problem.

8. PMS this.

"In the book Dr. Hager wrote with his wife, entitled
"Stress and the Woman's Body," he suggests that women
who suffer from premenstrual syndrome

<sitting here with jaw on the floor, speechless, incredulous...>
