Kolliderar President Obamas val av Regina M Benjamin som ny hälsovårdschef med katolska kyrkan? frågar idag Washington Post
Regina M Benjamin läkare och född och uppvuxen som katolik har bla fått utmärkelse av påven.
”But the Alabama country doctor also backs Obama’s position on reproductive health issues, a position that potentially could put her at odds with the Catholic Church.
”Like him, she believes that this is an issue where it is important to try and seek common ground and come together to try and reduce the number of unintended pregnancies,” White House spokesman Reid Cherlin said. ”As a physician, she is deeply committed to the philosophy of putting her patients’ needs first when it comes to providing care.”
The White House declined to say whether Benjamin supports a woman’s right to an abortion, but sources close to her selection say she does. Benjamin did not return a call to her clinic seeking comment. Rebecca Adelman, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services, said that Benjamin is prohibited from speaking publicly until she is confirmed.”

Mig tycks det som att president Obamas val av ny hälsovårdschef är en fullträff. En tvättäkta katolsk läkare, kvinna dessutom, med hjärtat precis på rätta stället
Good luck Regina M Benjamin
