Richard Carmona, Bush's Surgeon General from 2002 to 2006.
...As the nation's top doc from 2002 to 2006, Dr. Carmona was ordered not to discuss embryonic stem cell research or the emergency contraceptive known as Plan B, he said last week in testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. He was ordered to water down a report on the dangers of secondhand smoke.
He definitely couldn't point out the failings of abstinence-only programs. In speeches that were vetted by other political appointees, he was ordered to mention President Bush three times for every page....

Who do you trust? A holy man?
Sooner or later, The Pope along with every other fundamentalist will have to come to terms with the reality of women in the year 2007 and realize they practice birth control and have abortions and demand quality of life 'shared' in responsiblity with husbands or lovers. It's the way it is, the way it always has been and will be.
There is nothing immoral in 'respecting' ones body, life and dignity.
Reproduction limiting is a reality women have contended with since the beginning of time, it is just in today's world our children are with us a long time rather than worrying about whether they will survive childhood. It's a different world and a different time and I can't believe the American woman is regressing in her achievements when her mothers and grandmothers worked so hard for the freedom of choice.
