Behind Bush’s anti-science family planning office appointee:
As medical director of A Woman’s Concern, a small chain of nonprofit pregnancy counseling clinics that offer no information on birth control, Keroack has agitated against abortion and even contraception “” including for married women. The organization continues to push the discredited nonsense that abortion increases a woman’s chances of breast cancer and is more dangerous during the first eight weeks of pregnancy (when, in fact, the risk of complication is actually at its lowest). Birth control, according to A Woman’s Concern’s tortured logic, is somehow “demeaning to women.” And Keroack has argued that women who have sex with multiple partners alter their brain chemistry in the process, making it harder for them to form close relationships.
