I hate to double-post, but holy shit the first time I read that I could have sworn it was saying “Oxycontin” and I was trying to figure out if Doc was encouraging people to Limbaugh-Out.

Nope.
Really, who does he report to? When could he reasonably be fired?
What happens when the world’s supply of oxytocin is used up, Armageddon?
I’m laughing, but this is some messed up shit. These people are scarey. The depths of ignorance (can we call it that? Isn’t willful ignorance=stupidity and yes, malice?) is startling and dismaying.
did this guy take health in HS? WTF?
He’s a frickin’ OB/GYN! Oh, how I pity his clients.
Ah, well, after W appointed John Bolton to be ambassador to the UN, this sort of thing really should not surprise us.
OTOH – I had some hope the midterm election results would teach W to be just a wee bit more moderate.
Nope.
IIRC, oxytocin is also released during breastfeeding. I guess moms better avoid that lest their marriages be broken up as a result! (Or is breastfeeding immoral to whackjobs like this? I keep forgetting.)
OMG. :eek: :eek: :eek:
Now, that is truly frightening.
Good point re the oxytocin and the breastfeeding. Wonder how he explains that away…
Nothing in that link is quite as disturbing as the apparent existence of something called the “Annual Abstinence Leadership Conference.”
Sounds like a hell of a conference.
Guy1: You gettin’ any?
Guy2: Nope. You?
Guy1: Nope.
Repeat several thousand times.

This year’s Annual Abstinence Leadership Conference has been cancelled due to large amount of abstainers. Similarly, the Apathetics Anonymous meeting has been postponed due to lack of interest.
I don’t know if it was postponed so much as
It is not so bad, folks. What have we learned after 6 years of the worst appointments in the history of civilization? That the appointees are too lazy to promote their asinine beliefs. They are rendered completely innocuous by benign lethargy. This is Democracy in action.
As I’ve said many times before, conservative people I could handle. There are TONS of brilliant and qualified conservative civil servants out there for all sorts of executive appointed positions. But these people have by and large been as passed over by Bush as Democratic civil servants. Instead we get these celebrity activist nutcases.
I mean, this guy is really over the top. His claims about contraception are bizarre and unempirical. He makes sweeping claims about sex and hormones, as DocJ pointed out, that are not only unsupported, but fly in the face of the evidence on these things. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s basically the poster child for those “pregnancy clinics” that basically masquerade as normal, neutral family planning clinics, but are really just high pressure “don’t have an abortion you baby killer” centers. In other words, a political agenda disguised as medicine and counselling.
He does sound as if he needs to get laid, doesn’t he? If anyone considers volunteering to jump on the grenade, I urge the use of contraception. That’ll truly piss him off.
Let’s not forget Incurious George’s nomination several years ago of future shoplifter Claude Allen to the 4th Circuit Court. Democrats wisely blocked Allen’s nomination because of intemperate remarks about “the queers.”
But Allen was Bush’s chief domestic advisor when charged with theft from a number of Washington area Target stores. Allen resigned in disgrace, and was later convicted of one count, and slapped on the wrist.

Hello? Is this thing on?
While we’re noting Bush’s record of appointing anti-contraception nutjobs to preside over women’s lives, lets not forget this guy, who was instrumental in blocking Plan B:

See, no contraception needed as long as the dumb bitch shuts up and takes it the way he likes it.
She then develops narcolepsy, and which she describes Hager as seeing as “an opportunity”! You can probably guess for what…
Yay for religious anti-contraception conservatives!
I suspect this is just Bush—a lame duck with essentially nothing to lose—giving a little present to the evangelicals and fundamentalists who helped elect him, and who have recently been crowing publicly about their disappointment.
It was supposed to be a new golden age of American theocracy, see, and it just hasn’t shaken out quite that way. Abortion is still (mostly) legal, we haven’t amended the Constitution to permanently smash the hopes of marriage-minded hommaseckshules, there are still TV programs that joke openly about S-E-X… my word, for such a religious nation we’re still heartbreakingly godless!
I also perceive a smidgen of “fuck you, Democrats!” in there. And a streak of pure craziness. It’s going to be a long two years.
