Hager Appointment to the FDA


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's views of reproductive 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. Hager is the author of "As Jesus Cared for Women: Restoring omen Then and Now." The book blends biblical accounts of Christ healing women with case studies from

Hager's practice.

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. As an editor and contributing author of "The Reproduction Revolution: A Christian Appraisal of Sexuality Reproductive Technologies and the Family," Dr. Hager appears to have endorsed the medically inaccurate assertion that the common birth control pill is an abortifacient.

You have got to be kidding me! Not everyone is Christian. Telling women that they have or need to read the Bible for PMS is taking peoples rights away not only for medication but also for freedom of religion. We do live in America right?

Can someone tell me if it is ok to post a link to the Petition site for this. If not just google, the petition site.com. Its in Newest Petitions, June 21. If anyones interested.

TextRegarding "womens'" problems, they STILL think it is all in our heads and would probably agree that a few prayers and a little Bible reading is the cure.


Your are right on the dot, for years women has been misdiagnose, mistreated and misused, but occurs that something we have to pay for it, because we happened to be blame for the down fall of men, so leave men to fix women issues after all we sinful women made the stupidity of eating the apple in the garden of Eden. Right?

So whenever my husband complain about my women issues I tell him that they are caused by him

In 1921 we women were depicted by Senator James Wadsworth, his ally, Governor Nathan Miller to be "a menace to our free institutions and to representative government."

From 1920 until 1968, little attention was paid to women voters by candidates, political parties, or even political scientists.


From 1960s to early 80s we women though we gain some grounds about our rights to be, put aside by Reagan calling telling us that we womens should have to deal we our women's issues.

For the last twenty years we have struggle to keep the littler rights we have, and still we are under pay and more than often discriminated.

What politicians forget is that women votes are very important but their campaigns only call appeals to the male counterpart.

It is a shame that in this country that preaches freedom and equality for women in other countries are still putting down women here in our own soil.

If Christian women have to read the bible for medication of PMS, I wonder what women from the muslin, Buddhism and other religions will have to read to get theirs
