WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Bush administration has stripped information on a range of women's issues from government Web sites, apparently in pursuit of a political agenda, researchers reported on Wednesday.



"Vital information is being deleted, buried, distorted and has otherwise gone missing from government Web sites and publications," Linda Basch, president of the National Council for Research on Women, said in a telephone interview.

At the Labor Department (news - web sites)'s Women's Bureau Web site, the report said 25 key publications on subjects ranging from pay equity to child care to issues relating to black and Latina women and women business owners had been deleted with no explanation.


Key government offices dedicated to addressing the needs of women have been disbanded, according to the report. These include the Office of Women's Initiatives and Outreach in the White House and the President's Interagency Council on Women.

Hope this isn't a dupe. God, how far will this bushco go?

So move along. There's nothing to see.

They did this to the report on the status of minorities' health in December and now they are doing it to a women's report?

They have a really fucked up political agenda alright.

Women are not into voting for Bush so I guess they do not care. We are going to end up with an all old white mans govt. at this rate. I am glad to see that they have got that 97 year old women out of the public in Texas. These type women can not be let to run all over the place like that.
