Anti-birth control advocate Eric Keroack
will no longer oversee Title X, the nation’s family
planning program! The day he took office, Planned Parenthood
launched a massive grassroots campaign against Keroack, rallying
a nationwide groundswell of opposition to his
appointment.
 
PPFA President Cecile Richards issued
the following statement on the resignation:


“It’s a good day for women’s
health. Keroack was unqualified to run the nation’s family
planning program. The Bush administration must replace Keroack
with a legitimate, mainstream public health expert who supports
family planning and access to birth control. More than 17
million women in our country need access to affordable birth
control. The nation’s family planning program should be
run by a champion for women’s health and
safety.”
