Alvare's attempt to align the anti-choice movement with the more noble-sounding goal of stopping unwanted pregnancies becomes even more hypocritical in lieu of the recent opposition that has been raied against Dr. Henry W. Foster Jr.'s expected nomination for the office of Surgeon General. Dr. Foster has founded an extremely successful program for teenagers called "I Have a Future." This program works to build teenagers' self-esteem while preaching to them the benefits of abstinence.

...President's embattled nominee for Surgeon General, Dr. Henry Foster, began making friendly house calls on key Senators. But his prospects for confirmation still remained uncertain, a condition the Administration hopes to remedy by taking at least another week to pressure pro-abortion rights lawmakers into backing Foster...

The idea is to push your button of choice not just once--which one would think would be all that was strictly necessary--but as many times and as fast as possible.

The rest would go to Reagan press secretary James Brady, who was permanently disabled in the shooting; and former Secret Service agent Timothy...
...Foster's confirmation hearings--if it comes to that--are still weeks away, and it is unclear whether the White House can right itself, or whether the nominee will be left to dangle. A source close to the process tells Time that the Administration is also prepping a backup choice just in case. ``No one believes the White House will stick by Foster,'' says an aide to a liberal Senate Democrat. ``Even if they stand by him today, nobody up here has the faith that they won't pull the rug out from under him tomorrow.'' And if the past...
