The White House is walking the pro-choice talk, and that means walking the fetus fetishizing squawk right out the door:
The White House has sacked the pro-life administrator for the USAID foreign assistance program so the agency can begin implementing President Barack Obama’s pro-abortion policies. The move follows Obama rescinding the Mexico City Policy to allow taxpayer funding of groups that promote abortions overseas.
Today, the White House announced that it has it has replaced Kent Hill, the acting Administrator of USAID under President Bush.
This is no surprise, since it only makes sense to get rid of anyone who might stand in the way of progress (and that means firing them, not firing something at them).
What I find endlessly amusing is that this isn’t even being reported by anyone but the screamers at “Lifenews” — no serious individual or news source even gives a shit about these anti-abortion freaks and fatheads anymore.
And it’s about time!!!

That is GOOD NEWS!
They need reprogramming. Put all that pro-life energy into supporting
life, like funds for Y camps,etc.Bikes for kids.Skateboards. Swimming lessons.Art supplies. Music lessons.
Expect the SHRIEEEEEEEEEK-ing to begin in 3…2…1…
This is a major step, of course. What is curioius is why
the mainstream press isn’t mentioning it at all.
Are they afraid or is it of no real consequence in a
world of more pressing issues and more dire news?
Or, is it because everyone expected it to happen and
only the likes of LifeSite are left to make much
of the event?
Whatever! Let the women of the world rejoice
in this also!
I’m not sure how big a deal it is to replace this position in general with a change of administration.
I know how things work in Canada – cabinet is strictly political and always changes completely. Their cabinet is unelected and much smaller, but there are all these civil servants who hld office on the whim of the President. If a new PM started firing deputy ministers that would be a huge deal.
This could be the sort of position where even a Dem succeeding a Dem or a Repub succeeding a Repub would be expected to make changes.
It’s certainly not a position where the person holding it becomes a household name, so why would they make it mainstream news?
RB – When Bush was appointing anti-choicers to key administration positions in charge of health issues it routinely made news, if only on the “health” pages. You’re probably right, it’s just business as usual and to be expected during a change of administration. But with something as big as the Mexico City Policy being overturned, the media’s disinterest now that the people involved with it are getting canned is somewhat reflective of the widespread acceptance of Obama’s agenda to overturn such regressive policies.
In other words, it’s like the MSM is saying “Okay, the grownups are in charge again, we don’t have to waste any more column inches on the NUTS.” I can’t help feeling kind of good about that.
oemissions – Every anti-choice nutter that gets shuffled out the door is great news, as far as I’m concerned. Although probably, as RB points out, it’s just standard operating procedure with a change of the guard and not really newsworthy. (Still, I can’t help gloating a bit.) 😉
JAB – I think that Lifenews article was the shriek.
Torontonian – Probably because it’s of no real consequence — likely standard procedure during a change in administration.
It just seems like there was often a fair amount of coverage when these guys were being appointed, and to me the subsequent lack of coverage when they’re being fired just highlights their new irrelevance 8)
I dont’ speak often on the issue, but I must say that no one knows how very pleased I am at recent events.
Those brainless shreeekers in a closet sucking eggs. FINALLY!!!!
