Washington D.C., Nov 19, 2008 / 16:30 pm
Tom Daschle has accepted the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services from president-elect Barack Obama. Daschle's record of supporting anti-life initiatives is extensive enough that his bishop previously asked him to stop calling himself a Catholic.
According to FOX News, “two Democratic sources close to Daschle and with intimate knowledge of the decision” said on Wednesday that the former Senate majority leader has accepted the post.
As the new Health and Human Services chief, Daschle will be responsible for helping implement Obama’s promised government-run health plan.
What is little-known, though, is the fact that Tom Daschle has radically changed his beliefs on life issues since he first ran for office.
