Negative Positive
Title: Insanely scary book
Review: Because George Bush has just announced his plan to select Dr. W. David Hager to head up the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee, I felt impelled to read his books. Hager's track record of using religious beliefs to guide his medical decision-making makes him a dangerous and inappropriate candidate to serve as chair of the above-mentioned committee. It seems that Hager's solution to stress is for women to quit work, to resume their "natural" rhythms as "home economists." Shades of a Handmaid's Tale and other dystopian visions of theocratic societies that want to put women back in their "place." Dr. Hager is a practicing OB/GYN who refuses to prescribe contraceptives to unmarried women. Hager also appears to have endorsed the medically inaccurate assertion that the common birth control pill is an abortifacient. These are scary, scary times.
