I usually don't go off the deep end, but the following statement left me laughing ...
Statemkent Of Kristen Day
Executive Director Of Democrats For Life Of America
"Democrats for Life of America (DFLA) applaud President Obama for his bold leadership in agreeing to an Executive Order that bans taxpayer funded abortions in the health care reform bill expected to pass the House this evening."
"We are proud to support this historic health care legislation. President Obama's Executive Order shows that when we work towards common ground in Washington we can do the people's business and end the gridlock. By working with House Leaders and the White House, DFLA shows how the pro-life Democrats are a key and growing constituency."
"Hubert H Humphrey best stated it when he said, " ... the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the needy and the handicapped."
They have to be kidding! They knew all along, that an Executive Order is meaningless once a bill is passed. Federal Law supercedes any Executive Order. Any lawmaker, who voted for the Senate Bill, voted to require federal agencies to subsidize and administer health plans that will pay for elective abortion. This vote undermines long-standing pro-life policies. The Senate Bill is riddled with provisions that will result in federal subsidies for private insurance plans that cover abortion ( some of which will be administered by the federal government), direct federal funding of abortion through Community Health Centers.
It was a sell-out. Actually, the English martyrs went to the gallows because they served their God, not their King. In the secular world, Dorian Grey, who sold his soul to remain forever young, had nothing on this statement of selling your soul. Thomas More and his companions had more moral courage.
