Thirty-nine years and counting...

On the anniversary of the legalization of genocide, Roe v. Wade, our dear President chooses to not make an argument about the morality of the subject, an argument that would surely fail under the weight of its implications, but instead attempts to argue the economic value of killing children before they are born.

Once again I am embarrassed for a man who says one thing and then does another. He talks about everyone having a right to healthcare, but then argues for the economic incentives of allowing children to be killed in utero rather than being healthy, responsible citizens who contribute to society. While 50,000,000 children have been killed since Roe v. Wade we wonder aloud about why we have a society that doesn't support public education or that teaches humanities. Perhaps the lessons have been taught and the lessons are that life is an economic question of what each person is worth and unfortunately many of those with the right to make and interpret laws have judged life to be inconsequential, that there are too many about and we should do with fewer children.

These kinds of statements from the President always make me wonder where his heart and head really are because he clearly isn't in this for the kids.

Against Medical Advice

And you say I mix church and state?

Today, despite thousands of complaints against the decision, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius ordered healthcare programs to offer contraception including religiously affiliated hospitals. Get it...if you operate a hospital to offer charitable care your choice is quickly becoming either to stop offering charity care, so you end up getting your health care from big government, or offering a medicine or device which goes against the teaching of your church.

What is the issue here you ask? Lots!

While I do not speak for all Christians or even the Roman Catholic Church to which I belong, my faith is clear in its teaching that life itself is brilliant and wonderful and inherently good. There are no unwanted babies - as some organizations would have you believe - because God loves them all. Life is precious and it should be treated as such

While some attack contraception because it leads to premarital sex, the Church is in many ways much more pragmatic. It does not condone premarital sex. It does not condone extramarital affairs. However, the much more grave sin to the Catholic Church would be to use contraception and stop the possibility of creating a life - a practice considered intrinsically evil.

So where does that put us? As Catholics, this requirement will force Catholic practitioners to commit a mortal sin. A sin that would not allow us to be in communion with our own church and thereby not allowing us to practice our faith. This would seem to be the entire point. You can hold your beliefs as a Catholic or your can practice medicine.

And who applauds this decision? Planned Parenthood, a group who is about everything but parenthood. Planned Parenthood, who takes in millions a year, and who by its own admission destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives last year. In any other place on earth, this would be genocide, but in America it is called choice.

Silly irrelevant medical science...

There is something to be said for intellectual honesty or honestly following your own illogical argument. A representative of Planned Parenthood recently announced that medical science was irrelevant in the abortion debate, that the issue was a political one, all but admitting that her argument has to be made as a letter of the law argument, not one that can be supported by any morality.

Once again, the abortion on demand group shows itself to support the eugenics mission its founder endorsed so many years ago. Once again, they show the crime against humanity that they are waging.

Tax Dollars For Genocide

Only in America can people find themselves able to support the intentional killing of unborn children and not realize it is genocide. As one of the leading proponents of this barbaric procedure, Planned Parenthood owes an awesome debt for the many it has helped arrange a death.

The CNS article here shows that in the past twelve months, it helped killed nearly 330,000 innocents. Worse yet, these 330,000 murders were committed using $487M of taxpayers' funds to financially support their organization.

Again, only in Western "culture" would we allow this to happen that we would kill a child as often as not to secure our own financial freedoms. If this were Bosnia in the 1990s or Rwanda or Libya we would be outraged and CNN would demand we send over peacekeepers, but instead we stand by silently.
