Obama Advisor Pledges Condoms, Not Abstinence

Protesting the FDA's delay in approving over-the-counter sales of the "morning after'' abortion pill, Susan F. Wood resigned as the primary U.S. regulator for women's health back in 2005.

She's back.

In fact, she's co-chairman of Obama's advisory committee for women's health and a leading candidate for the FDA's next commissioner.

And, as you can guess, she and President Obama have a bold (make that brazen) new plan including the reversing of the United States' pro-life policies and the aggressive promotion of condoms and Planned Parenthood-style sex ed programs.

Wood said that, in recent years, the U.S. government has influenced and `"tightly vetted'' international organizations to reflect its own policies. Obama will bring "back a sense of balance and perspective and the use of good science and good medicine in these positions, and not just this narrow, political ideology,'' she said.
