Why is that worth blogging about? Mostly because Susan is a buddy of mine since Grad School. She is also, according to the following article, the locus of all evil:
Family planning advocates denounced President Bush’s appointment of a contraceptive critic to be head of the federal program responsible for providing birth control and other family planning services to the poor.
Dr. Susan Orr, an associate commissioner at the Department of Health and Human Services, was named by Mr. Bush to be the Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Population Affairs (DASPA). She would oversee Title X, the nation's family planning program.
Orr is currently on the board of directors of Teen Choice, a non-profit groups advocating for abstinence in lieu of contraception.
Before joining the Bush administration (where she has served in the Administration on Children, Youth and Families at HHS), she was senior director for marriage and family care at the Family Research Council (a religious advocacy group founded by James Dobson of Focus on the Family), and director of the Center for Social Policy at the Reason Public Policy Institute.
Susan is a great choice for the job.
