Is the statement "Contraception is demeaning to women" indicative of a logical ability to analyze the world? Is it a subjective projection of the wishes of a myopic mindset on how the world should work? And if so, why would one have such a position?

In any case, I'd just like to say that appointing someone with that mindset to actually oversee a contraceptive program speaks volumes for the contempt that the Bush Administration feels for a majority of Americans. And, honestly, I find it sad to report this here. But, also, report it I must since the "philosophy" of forcing women to be subject to the vagaries of childbirth seems to be back in vogue...as long as it doesn't have to pass Senate confirmation.

Anyways, this basically falls into the category of a guy, a doctor in this case, telling women that he only has their best interest at heart when he doesn't want to "demean her" by giving her contraceptives. It is an attempt to fit women into a single category where they can be controlled, not by their own feelings and thoughts, but by some kind of wisdom brought down the mountain by some mystical mental midget. I mean, who better to put in charge of handing out contraception to formulate a plan to stop women from being demeaned by contraception?
