Hager - the religious fanatic on the FDA - is up for re-appointment.
Hager’s term on the panel ends June 30. Bush hasn’t said yet whether or not he’ll reappoint him.
Hager’s anti-choice credentials:
- A practicing ob-gyn, Dr. Hager will not perform surgical abortions, nor prescribe mifepristone (medical abortion), and will not even provide intra-uterine devices (IUDs), a widely accepted form of contraception.
- Dr. Hager helped the Christian Medical Association write a "citizen's petition" in August 2002 that called for the FDA to reverse its approval of mifepristone and pull it off the market, ignoring over a decade of international research that has established the safety and efficacy of this early abortion option.
-Dr. Hager wrote "Stress and the Woman's Body" with his wife, Linda, recommending Scripture readings as treatment for premenstrual syndrome.
Sign this petition and keep Hager off the FDA.
