The Bush administration has recently announced the appointment of a staunchly anti-birth control extremist to a leadership role in the Office of Population Affairs. Read the Wall Street Journal Article HERE. (Look through the comments, too if you have a minute. Barring a few oddballs, there are some very thoughtful points made.)

It's outrageous. Orr's anti-reproductive health stance is clear. She applauded President Bush's reinstatement of the global gag rule and urged him to revoke approval for mifepristone (formerly known as RU-486)-- both while working for the notoriously anti-choice, anti-birth control, anti-sex education organization, the Family Research Council.

In 2001, she was quoted in the Washington Post favoring a Bush administration plan to drop a requirement that health insurance plans for federal employees cover a broad range of birth control.

“We’re quite pleased because fertility is not a disease,” she said at the time. “It’s not a medical necessity that you have it.” (birth control)

Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.
