Women’s rights groups decry Bush appointee By Linda Boulden
Amy Allina, program director for the National Women’s Health Network, said her organization encourages the public to call upon the FDA to restrict Hager from any decision that would be swayed by his religious beliefs.
“Our concern is that on this committee, as he has in his OB/GYN practice, Dr. Hager will be bringing his personal ideological beliefs to bear on the medical decision-making that he engages in,” she said. ——————— end quotation One interesting question that went unaddressed in the above-quoted article of March 5th is simply this: Who doesn’t bring their personal ideological beliefs to bear on their decision-making? Certainly pro-choice advocates have some sort of “personal ideological belief”, and clearly they leverage their frame-of-reference in decision-making contexts related to abortion. The day in which we as a country cannot intelligently invest ourselves in making careful decisions on topics we care passionately about will be a sad and tragic abandonment of the freedoms promised in our very Bill of Rights.
