Bush Censorship
Bush continues to be a shining light for democracy and freedom. Now he’s censoring information about abortion on health websites. It never ceases to amaze me how religious this moron is and is so against abortion because it’s wrong but has no problem killing thousands of people for oil money. I really do hate this man. Might as well call us China with his spying on the American people and censoring public information because it goes against his beliefs. Here’s the article from Wired:
A U.S. government-funded medical information site that bills itself as the world’s largest database on reproductive health has quietly begun to block searches on the word “abortion,” concealing nearly 25,000 search results.
Called Popline, the search site is run by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Maryland. It’s funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, the federal office in charge of providing foreign aid, including health care funding, to developing nations.
The massive database indexes a broad range of reproductive health literature, including titles like “Previous abortion and the risk of low birth weight and preterm births,” and “Abortion in the United States: Incidence and access to services, 2005.”
But on Thursday, a search on “abortion” was producing only the message “No records found by latest query.” Continue Reading…
Having read the entire article, I’m not seeing where Bush has anything to do with this. Sounds to me like the operators of the site made a decision, based on their own interpretation of policy. It also sounds like all of the information is still there and still available, just slightly harder to find. That’s a fairly loose definition of censorship.
Granted, I agree that it’s stupid, but I think both of the words in your title are a bit on the “Sky is Falling” level.
Well, if they blocked that word because of a policy that Bush put into effect, I would blame it on him. I’m not saying he’s sitting behind a computer changing this website’s policies. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if the moron didn’t know how to use a computer.
