Trump’s Appointees Aren’t Just Anti-Choice — They’re Anti-Contraception

...
It seemed certain that we’d hit peak Wrong Person For The Job last week when the vehemently and publicly anti-choice Charmaine Yoest was made assistant secretary of public affairs for HHS — an agency with a stated mission “to enhance and protect the health and well-being of all Americans.” As president of Americans United For Life from 2008 until early 2016, she was the face of and the driving force behind the hundreds of oppressive abortion restrictions passed at the state level. The thought of a woman who has called people who support access to the full range of reproductive health care — so, the vast majority of Americans — “the true misogynists in our society” being allowed near HHS is infuriating and dangerous.
...
“In a 2003 interview with NPR-affiliate WBUR, Manning, who went by Teresa Wagner at the time, dismissed pro-choice advocates who point out that offering access to comprehensive contraceptive care can reduce the number of abortions. The segment examined ‘pro-life views’ in the shadow of Roe v. Wade. ‘There really is no evidence to support that,’ Manning falsely claimed, later adding that ‘contraception doesn’t work’ and that ‘its efficacy is very low.’”

And also:

“She said in 2001 that making emergency contraceptives available over the counter is ‘immoral…and medically irresponsible,’ despite evidence that doing so is safe and could improve public health.”

The Establishment

We live in a truly Calvinist society, when it comes to sex.
