Evangelical Catholicism reports:

In a clear advance for the pro-life cause in politics, President Bush today appointed obstetrition and gynecologist Eric Keroack to head the federal Office of Population Affairs. Keroack, who opposes abortion, pre-marital sex and the use of contraception, is a doctor for A Woman’s Concern, a non-profit Christian organization that provides free ultrasounds and pregnancy tests, and encourages women to consider alternatives to the violence of abortion through counseling.

Keroack will oversee the $283 million annual budget of the Office of Population Affair which serves federally-backed teen pregnancy, family planning and abstinence programs.
