(AgapePress) - A Christian OB-GYN from Tennessee says Democratic Congressman Henry Waxman is the one who is misleading girls, not pregnancy resource centers.
Waxman, a representative from California, serves on the House Government Reform Committee. He recently asked staff to check on pregnancy crisis centers, which received $24 million in federal aid between 2001 and 2004. The subsequent report claims that federally-funded, faith-based pregnancy centers give false information connecting abortions with breast cancer, infertility, and mental illness.
Waxman claims research has shown abortion does not have severe, long-lasting psychological effects. Government organizations such as the Institute of Medicine and the National Cancer Institute say there is no such connection. Their research is based on a 2003 study involving over 100 scientists who examined women based on their medical records rather than "self-report" and gathered data before cancer was diagnosed.
Dr. Omar Hamada believes that Waxman is misled and that accurate scientific information supports abortion's connection with cancer, infertility, and mental illness. "We see that even since the 1970s throughout the world journals," he says.
Hamada believes Waxman did not put out this report to see pregnancy resource centers improve.
"And I think it's important, really, to see that it's not just a singular issue that he's attacking, but it's really an aggressive, multifaceted attack on the values that make up the very fabric of our society here in America," Hamada said. "And it's not just him: I think he's being used as a mouthpiece by the lobby that includes those who are pro-choice."
Lending credibility to that accusation is the fact that Waxman has been a strong critic of the Bush administration's push for federal funding of abstinence-only education programs, which typically find little support among abortion proponents. Waxman has contended that curricula for those programs is both scientifically and medically inaccurate and misleads young people.

Ah, Henry Waxman, the only Congresscritter with his very own emoticon:
:8)
"Waxman claims research has shown abortion does not have severe, long-lasting psychological effects."
Ya and my "research" shows otherwise.
Such B.S.
These people have some hot eternity waiting for them.
Like most "Critters", when elected they think they become instant experts on all manner of things.
And being a critter from KA, we would expect something different?
Y'know, there are plenty of liberals out there who are nifty people. The late Mo Udall, for example, was a thoroughly fine human being. Today, I'd rank Robert Reich as someone anyone would enjoy having a beer with.
But Waxman is a totally repellant individual. Just horrible from all reports.
FLARING NOSTRILS ALERT!!!!!
Damn he's ugly.
"These people have some hot eternity waiting for them."
Truly, truly.
Just as Carville is a reptile, Waxman is a rodent.
When was Waxman ever right about anything? whatever the issue, if you are on the opposite side that he is on, then you are on the right side.
Scabbers or should I say Peter Pettigrew? He certainly looks like a rat.
Is it just me, or do others note a common thread of physical ugliness in liberals. There are WAY more good looking conservatives in my opinion.
Maybe ugliness inside begets ugliness outside? duh.
Now hang on just a sec...
We are not supposed to judge others by their appearance.
Enough of that stuff.
You are right.....they are all BUTT UGLY!!!
Another poster said they same thing but added, "must be all the ugliness on the inside coming out!"
I agree.

I don't remember who said that "sooner or later, a man gets the face he deserves to have". In Waxman's case it is so, so true.
