Bush Nominates Ashcroft, Thompson to Cabinet.(John D. Ashcroft nominated for Attorney General post and Tommy G. Thompson nominated for Department of Health and Human Services Secretary)(Brief Article)
Refusing to buckle under to pro-abortion threats, President-elect George W. Bush has nominated pro-lifers to important cabinet positions, including attorney general and secretary of health and human services.
Working hand in glove with major newspapers, pro-abortionists are already speaking in apocalyptic terms.Within two weeks of the December 22 selection of pro-life Missouri Sen. John Ashcroft to be attorney general, they were already likening their offensive to the all-out war launched in 1987 that successfully derailed President Reagan's nomination of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court.
Pro-life Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson's selection to be secretary of health and human services has been pummeled by many of the same sources.
Kate Michelman, president of NARAL, offered the consensus view of the professional pro-abortion organizations. "Not since Ed Meese [Ronald Reagan's attorney general] would the U.S. have an attorney general as hostile to a woman's right to choose," she said. "President-elect Bush's moderate demeanor during the campaign was a facade to hide his anti-choice views."
Taking the occasion of Thompson's subsequent December 29 nomination to hammer both nominees, Michelman warned that President-elect Bush "has laid the gauntlet down on the two most critical nominations when it comes to women's reproductive rights."
Michelman's assessment was echoed by Vicki Saporta, executive director of the National Abortion Federation. "Americans should be alarmed that George W. Bush has chosen two men with extreme anti-choice positions to head the two agencies that have the most direct impact on women's reproductive health care," she said.
The truth, of course, is that both Sen. Ashcroft and Gov. Thompson are distinguished public servants with very impressive credentials. Ashcroft's resume amply qualifies him for the job of the nation's top legal officer. As attorney general he would head the 100,000-employee Justice Department that includes the network of U.S. attorney's offices nationwide.
