Valerie Huber’s New Role at HHS Could Bring Abstinence-Only Agenda to Global Policy
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Abstinence-only proponent Valerie Huber will move to a new position in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of Global Affairs, worrying reproductive health advocates and experts who believe she could push her agenda into the global arena.
Huber’s new role as the Office of Global Affairs’ senior policy advisor, first reported by Politico , was confirmed by HHS in a tweet last week. The office, according to its website , “is the diplomatic voice of the Department of Health and Human Services—we foster critical global relationships, coordinate international engagement across HHS and the U.S. government, and provide leadership and expertise in global health diplomacy and policy to contribute to a safer, healthier world.”
She previously served as senior policy advisor for the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH). An unnamed department official told Politico that Huber is “expected to strip references to sexual and reproductive health as well as sex education from the agency’s global health documents,”and advocates say that move would have widespread repercussions.

Only republicans/conservatives, religious fantatics would think that Abstinence-only is successful
My head is spinning.
We have a president who has admitted to affairs and his own personal Vietnam was avoiding STD's.
I. Just. Can't.
It is a fact that this nonsense doesn't work. Colorado has been very successful in reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions by providing free and open access to effective birth control and teaching explicit sex education. "Just say no" didn't work for drug/alcohol abuse and it doesn't work for sex education. I hate simpletons, especially in public office.
I thought that I recogniozed her name,
Religious conservatives have no place in public service when they seek to push a dangerous agenda.
Look up Abstinence only in the Dictionary and you'll see a picture of Bristol Palin....
good one
She had a sex tape? Why am I only hearing about this now?
Because BF just told you. lol
It must be a really slow down at the car lot. Trump's Recession has already started with the US auto industry so Ford, especially, cannot harly even giveaway cars anymore and is losing money hand over fist. They may not make it. Dealerships are already doing layoffs butt on the rightwinger's counter article in support of Roger Stone they have all been reduced to discussing Michelle Obama's penis. I guess conspiring with Russia to defraud American voters is a big joke for that crowd. Bless their misguided olde hearts...
Ford just posted its worst quarter since Bush's Great Recession...
It is only going to get worse for Ford and GM. Chrysler exists only as a nameplate.
I can't think of a car sold by the 3 American automakers that I would ever buy since they stopped selling cars. I hate SUVs and I have about use for a truck as I do for a an RV. When the price of gas goes up again people will want smaller efficient cars and the American automakers won't have anything that buyers want, just as what happened in 2007/08 when the price of gas hit $5.00.
I don't want a 3-ton 3-row SUV that is more like a motorized living room than a car. I am driving a VW Jetta for that very reason.
Since I live 3 miles out on a gravel road, my 4X4 Toyota Tacoma reg. cab is perfect with the BFG KO2s. The 4 cylinder engine delivers plenty of power and torque while being miserly on fuel. The perfect vehicle.
I'm not looking to sell. I'd buy a TDi if they sell them in the US again.,
A lot of people want or need a truck because of where they live or their job. I'm just not one of them. I'm not suggesting that everyone should drive a Prius or a Volt.
Valerie Huber may be onto something here. Especially if this policy would be implemented in the American Hemisphere first to prove our American spirit and resolve. And our patriotism. With the money saved America can have its Walls everywhere, even in the middle of Mississippi if warranted.
Unfortunately, as with most conservative agendas, the 'abstinence only' does not go far enough and totally lacks punishment of any type. I suggest facial branding, male castration and female mutilation of womanly assets. These are first offenses. Second offenses fall under the 'final solution category' and further attention upon those individuals would end at that point.
I propose the United States of America under the direction of Valerie Huber and under the authority of Donald J. Trump ( whom reflects the purity of it all ) declare all sexual activity illegal thereby declaring the United States the first nation in the world to become a haven for the humble and those whose only atonement is for themselves.

A rubber? Nah, we don't like those. Just promise you will never have sex.
Sure...ok.
