Gov. Mike DeWine’s pick to lead the Ohio Department of Health backed out due to her concerns over the harassment experienced by her predecessor, according to a statement she provided to a South Carolina newspaper on Friday.

“In conversations preparing for the transition to the Ohio Department of Health, I was informed that the former director’s family had faced harassment from the public,” Dr. Joan Duwve, a public-health official with the South Carolina state government, told The State.

“While I have dedicated my life to improving public health, my first commitment is to my family. I am a public figure. My family is off limits. I withdrew my name from consideration to protect my family from similar treatment," she said.

The Ohio Department of Health regulates abortion clinics in the state and has the authority to close them down if they believe they’re violating the law. Anyone who takes the director position will be scrutinized for their present and past actions and views on the issue.

A prominent Ohio anti-abortion activist said that Duwve likely wouldn’t have been confirmed by the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate, after an online résumé surfaced that showed she had worked for Planned Parenthood...

If you want to be happy for the rest for your life, pick a tranny for your Secretary of Health.

Good riddance.

#CancelPublicHealthIdiots.

Maybe DeWine can hire the mutant health commissioner over in Pennsylvania and get that creature out of their lives.

"Dan Tierney, a DeWine spokesman, said the governor’s office has no comment on what Duwve told The State. He reiterated that DeWine was aware of her work with Planned Parenthood when he offered her the job."

Riiiight.
I've heard the complaints about Acton being harassed. Well, with the way things were managed, it looks to me that Acton didn't want to own her directives.

And the fact that DeWine knew, and even had people on his own staff warning him tells you a lot about DeWine.

She worked for Planned Parenthood and guess what her masters degree was in?

LOL.....”population planning”

Now, if you do a Google search for her name and “population planning” (in quotes), it tells you that it can’t find any results.

However......

Just a tip for you Googlers who don’t like getting censored information (Dogpile is just as bad)... If you click Tools and adjust the time frame of your search, it messes with the blacklist settings and you can still find what you are looking for.

Acton was harassed for over reaching the constitution of ohio and swine put her up to it because he had no power to enforce her BS.
He played her like a chump

DeWine is typical of a GOP jackass who has never worked outside government in his life.

He's a spitting image of his predecessor John Kasich -- who constantly talks about his father's career as a postal worker because the elder Kasich was probably the last guy in the family tree to work an honest job for a living.
