Why do I keep thinking one day I will wake up in a world that does not obsess over women and their wanting to assert control over their own lives and bodies?

Health Database Was Set Up to Ignore ‘Abortion’.

Johns Hopkins University said Friday that it had programmed its computers to ignore the word “abortion” in searches of a large, publicly financed database of information on reproductive health after federal officials raised questions about two articles in the database. The dean of the Public Health School lifted the restrictions after learning of them.

Mr. Parsons said the development agency had expressed concern after finding “two articles about abortion advocacy” in the database. The articles, he said, did not fit database criteria and were removed.

Quoi? What f*cking criteria would that be? Suffocating fetishist godbag mania to control women? Oh yeah, that.

Employees who manage the database instructed their computers to ignore the word “abortion” as a search term.

After learning of the restrictions on Friday, the dean, Dr. Michael J. Klag, said: “I could not disagree more strongly with this decision, and I have directed that the Popline administrators restore ‘abortion’ as a search term immediately. I will also launch an inquiry to determine why this change occurred.”

Dr. Klag said the school was “dedicated to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge, and not its restriction.”

Ted Miller, a spokesman for Naral Pro-Choice America, an abortion rights group, said: “The public has a right to know why someone would censor relevant medical information. The Bush administration has politicized science as part of an ideological agenda. So it’s important to know if that occurred here.”

Let me save you some trouble, NARAL (and why the F does the NYT insist on not capitalizing its acronyms?): The Bush administration politicized science as part of an ideological agenda serving hysterical fetishist godbags who seek at every turn to impose their pathetic controlling fantasies on the bodies of all women. Not to put too fine a point on it.
