Fetus Fetishists' Nightmare

Obama chooses head of Health and Human Services: Tom Daschle.

Hee. The Catlicks call him a nightmare.

So, that means Merkin pro-choicers are dancing in the streets, right?

Not necessarily.

Daschle's record on reproductive and sexual health and rights is a mixed one. NARAL Pro-Choice America rated him 50% for his support for the (non-medically termed) Partial Birth Abortion Ban, and for the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, a bill that makes it a crime to prosecute a perpetrator for two crimes in a violent crime against a pregnant woman. Daschle, also, however, opposes the ban on abortion procedures in military hospitals and supports expanding funding embryonic stem cell research.


*sigh* Six of one, half-dozen of the other. Looks like women's rights are subject to 'bipartisanship' again, aka 'we'll-get-around-to-you-uppity-bitches-eventually-ship'.
