Frank Lockwood of Bible Belt Blogger spoke with Dr. Jocelyn Elders, President Clinton’s first Surgeon General, who said that she is not sure that James Holsinger “is the person that we should be confirming” as the next Surgeon General:
LOCKWOOD — Do you think you’d vote to confirm him?
ELDERS — I think there’s some things he’s said that are out there. It would be very difficult for me to feel that this is the person that we should be confirming in this day and time with all the problem we have, related to sexual heath and all the problems we’re getting into. I think as the nation’s chief health educator we need to know what he would do to help America evolve into a sexually healthy nation. We’re a sexually unhealthy nation.
