Tonight, at midnight, is the last opportunity to make a difference. Midnight is the deadline for submitting comments to the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on health care Rights of Conscience. Please take this opportunity to protect doctors, nurses and other health care professionals, from being forced to participate in immoral procedure.
As you know, President Bush sent to HHS a Health Care Conscience Clause, which was implemented shortly before President Obama was inaugurated. Immediately Obama began the process to revoke the Conscience Clause. He has allowed a 30 day period for public response. It is every citizen's duty to respond. Medicine should never be forced to perform or participate in immoral activities. Instead the Conscience Clause should protect both the patient and the health care worker. If we blur the distinction between killing and healing, medicine believe me, will turn to killing. In other words, abortion procedures would be mandated in medical school, not to mention what curriculum would be taught in health care classes.
If you wish to respond, here's an easy web site to do it. www.usccb.org/conscienceprotection Click on Email HHS Now.
Dr. Oz definitely was on the right road when he appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show to voice his support for adult stem-cell research. On the yellow brick road was Oprah herself accompanied by Michael J. Fox. Their topic was the killing of embryos in order to cure disease. How preposterous! It's never worked. It only kills unborn babies.
Michael Fox told Oprah that President Obama's lifting the ban on Embryonic Stem-Cell Research (ESCR) was a step in the right direction and the United States has to make up for lost time (Presiden't Bush's fault). All of this on national television. It was like the Wizard of Oz gone mad.
Down the right road came Dr. Oz, who stated: "I think Oprah, the stem-cell debate is dead. The problem with embryonic stem-cells is that embryonic stem-cells come from embryos, like all of us were made from embryos. And those cells can become any cell in the body, but it's very hard to control them, and so they can become cancer." Ophra responded in disbelief from her yellow brick road, "In the last year, we've advanced ten years?" Dr. Oz responded, "We went places we never thought we would go. Within single digit years, the medical community could find cures, not only for people with Parkinson's disease, but also diabetics and heart attack victims by using adult stem-cells. Thanks to recent scientific discoveries, stem-cells aren't the only solution. We went to a place we never thought we would go. I can take a little bit of your skin, take those cells and get them to go back in time so they're like they were when you were first made." Dr. Oz continued, "These skin cells, which contain your genes, are less prone to cancer and will be the ones that are ultimately used to cure Parkinson's."
Oprah and Michael Fox, I think are lost on the yellow brick road. The scarecrow gave them the wrong directions at the fork of the road.
The shame of all of this, is that a great amount of time, talent and dollars are being diverted into funding killing rather than curing.
Victory for the time being. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," said abolitionist Wendell Phillips. HB 2354 is not being called for a vote before tonight's deadline. However, we must remain vigilant.
The bill is not being called by the sponsor because he is short of the 60 votes necessary to pass this bill in the House. This is a great victory for grass-roots pro-lifers. It is due to the many calls, letters and publicity that elected officials received from their constituents.
HB 2354 was a radical pro-abortion bill. The concern now would be that this bill might be taken apart and individual parts of the bill might be presented to the legislature for passing. In doing so, the sponsors are hopeful that they can woo legislators, who felt HB 2354, was too radical as a whole, but might be in favor of a single provision. For now, thanks to grass-roots, we have accomplished what everyone said was impossible. Keep up the great work! And the Pressure, on those representatives who represent an agenda and not their constituents.
We usually don't delve into the same-sex marriage debate, however, it is a life issue, and this is breaking news.
Today, the Iowa Supreme Court imposed "Same-Sex Marriage as a constitutional right." With the decision today, Iowa becomes the first state to impose homosexual marriage on it's citizens through judicial tyranny. The same judicial tyranny brought us Roe v Wade.
I believe in transparency. It's about time the judges become transparent. No more should they be on a ballot for us to elect. But, we are unable to find out their views, because they are above filling out candidate surveys. No more, that's gotta change. They're changing society, and we're unable to change them because we're not able to know who they are or what they do.
"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," said abolitionist Wendell Phillips. This saying is never more true than the understanding that the homosexual agenda is at war with our Judeo-Christian values and the freedoms that made the United States of America great.
Empty pulpits across the country? You bet. When was the last time you heard anything about the homosexual agenda from the pulpit? However, turn on your TV, or pick up a magazine, and the agenda is there. Remember, all social engineering is preceded by verbal engineering.
With the addition of an Obama Chia Pet available at Walgreens, and on the internet, on wonders if the Easter Lilly will be replaced. At least the Easter Lilly represents new life and resurrection to many denominations and people across the country. The Obama Chia, represents death and despair to many, especially those people who cannot speak for themselves. I would also include those of us who pay taxes and pull the greater share for those who are unwilling or unable to work.
The Obama administration is adamantly pro-abortion. I think the Chia Pet might bite any pro-lifer, who would get this pet, either as a joke or sincerely. One thing we know, is that Obama is committed to Planned Parenthood and the destruction of innocent human life.
In my vision of this Chia Pet, I see Obama coming to life with watering. In fact Father Jenkins of Notre Dame is fertilizing the Chia Pet with the addition of the law school Dean, Sally. Can you imagine waking up and seeing the Obama Chia coming to life in your home? He will invade every portion of your life, room by room, as he is invading every aspect of our traditional Judeo-Christian way of life.
What are you getting for Easter, a Lilly or a Chia Pet?
Rooms for 50 cents and organs for God only knows how much. Some folks, not wanting to take their turn on a waiting list for organ donation, or fearful that they their health will deteriorate, so that they will go to any extremes to buy an organ.
Psychiatrist Sally Satell, suffering from eventual renal failure, has been pushing for the creation of an organ market. This market would allow people to sell a kidney, a slice of their liver and actually their eggs, or whatever organ is in demand.
Satell suggests a system, where a donor can accept a reward for their organs. Donors would be carefully screened for physical and emotional impediments. RIGHT!
I wonder if Sally has ever heard of the Black Market? Or seen several recent movies, which depict organ robbery, the theft of organs from unsuspecting victims. Organ robbery also affects the poor. Recent reports show that poor people in third world countries often find they are missing an organ. I'm not sure those are really healthy organs. Or if you follow China, the government executes prisoners, with a single bullet in the back of the head, for their organs. But in our day and age, I'm not sure that the organs procured legally, using a brain death criteria, are healthy.
If a person wants to donate to an organ to a friend, that donor needs to tell the friend they may not survive. Furthermore, in the case of a kidney, the good kidney may fail down the road. In other words, we're talking about full disclosure.
Actually this whole debate turns organ donation, which is supposedly a gift of life, to a mere commodity, which can be bought or sold, not on a Christian viewpoint, but on a utilitarian view.
Father John Jenkins, University of Notre Dame President, strikes again. Adding insult to injury, or rubbing salt in a wound, or bringing about Henry VIII's monarchy again, Father appointed a new law school dean, who had donated to the Obama campaign.
Nell Jessup Newton, recently Chancellor and Dean of the Hastings College of Law at the University of California, was appointed.
Wow! Records indicate that Newton gave the Obama presidential campaign $2,300.00 during the first quarter of 2007. Records also show that she gave to the pro-abortion Catholic presidential candidate John Kerry in 2004. I imagine if we researched her contributions, we would find a long trail of supporting pro-abortion candidates.
How dare Notre Dame do that! Everyone knows that it was the judicial system that brought us Roe v Wade. What will Notre Dame teach in it's law school.
I wonder what Thomas Moore would say? We know what he said in Henry VIII's time. He said: "The clergy of England would have slept through the Sermon on the Mount." I think Father Jenkins fits that description. Worse yet, what is Father Jenkins real agenda?
Lest you don't know who Father Jenkins is, he is the president of Notre Dame. He is the priest who invited the most pro-abortion president this country has ever elected to be the commencement speaker and receive an honorary doctorate.
Wow! It's one thing to invite the president, if it was a debate. Although inviting a pro-abortion president to debate to a university named after the Mother of God, would be questionable. It is quite another to have him speak at a commencement ceremony and receive an honorary doctorate. I think Obama is licking his chops. There is no difference here, between this and the clergy of England, during Henry the VIII, who betrayed their Catholicism in order to placate the temporal King.
Wow! Father Jenkins remains, in spite of petitions signed by more than 225,000 individuals from the Cardinal Neuman Society and public statements from his fellow Bishops, adamant in his decision. I wonder who Father Jenkins voted for?
Bishop Myers said, "If the president of Notre Dame University truly wishes to show that his institution is rooted in Catholic teaching and tradition, and committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ, he must underscore this message at commencement plainly and clearly, and invite everyone to embrace an all inclusive reverence for life."
Wow! If I were Father Jenkins, I would never insult the Mother of God. Insulting someone's mother always has repercussions with the Son and his family.
The Dutch kill their babies, both unborn and disabled. A lapse of ethics and morals I believe. Most supposed civilized countries allow the killing of their unborn children at various stages. Many supposed civilized countries are contemplating legalizing infanticide, thereby removing the handicapped from society, eugenics.
Recently discovered, was the remains of an infant born with a skull deformity. It is the oldest known deformed infant remains that has been found from prehistoric times. Upon discovery of these remains, many scientists were surprised because this child would have needed specialized care to live as long as the remains indicated. This surprise comes because many scientist equate human beings with animals. We know that animals are known to reject their newborns with severe deformities. Until these remains were found, scientist had therefore assumed that prehistoric humans, just like animals, had rejected children born with severe deformities.
Society would do well to model after Sarah Palin. Upon finding out that she was pregnant with a Downs Syndrome baby, she asked God for strength to soften her heart and accept the gift He had given her.
A society that doesn't protect the weakest among us, is a society that will never survive.
The invasion of the Obama Administration certainly is equal to the allies invasion of Normandy to beat the Axis. However there's a distinct difference. The Normandy invasion preserved civilization. The Obama invasion is turning the world back to barbarism.
On April 29th the Obama Administration will reach 100 days. Let's review what he's done.
1.) Prior to his inauguration on November 24th, he names Melody Barnes, domestic policy advisor. This shot over the bow told the pro-life movement to watch. Ms. Barnes previously served on the Boards of Emily List and Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
2.) Obama nominates Senator Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. PP's Cecily Richards praises the pick on abortion grounds saying, "Senator Clinton understands that women's quality of life directly affects the major issues confronting the globe.
3.) December 11th, Obama nominates Senator Tom Daschle, as HHS. Quotes poured in from pro-abortion groups, all favoring his recent work in defeating two bans on abortion in South Dakota.
4.) December 12th, Obama appoints Jeanne Lambrew to become the deputy director of White House Office of Health Reform. A PP statement stated, she is one of the leading health care policy experts in the country, and someone who is an advocate for abortion.
5.) January 5th, Obama appoints David Ogden, deputy attorney general. He's a pornography lawyer, who opposed the Children's Internet Protection Act, and has also represented Planned Parenthood.
6.) On the same day, Obama appointed Dawn Johnsen, assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel, she's a former legal director for the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL).
7.) Obama appointed Thomas Perrelli, associate attorney general. He had the dubious honor to be the counsel to Michael Schiavo, who sought and received permission to starve and dehydrate his wife to death, during Holy Week 2005.
8.) President Obama reverses the Mexico City Policy on January 23rd, allowing tax-payer dollars to go to organizations that perform and promote abortions overseas.
9.) President Obama on the same day, released a statement pledging to work with Congress to restore funding to the US population fund.
10.) February 17th 2009, signs Stimulus Package into law. The new law will fundamentally change the standard that Medicare follows in paying for medical care, and in so doing may place seniors at risk for not receiving necessary life-sustaining medical care.
11.) February 28th, President Obama nominates Governor Kathleen Sebelius, a pro-abortion extremist, who has been publicly rebuked by her Bishop, and who has ties to the Kansas abortionist Tiller the Killer, to head HHS.
12.) On February 4th, President signs into law the SCHIP re-authorization. Under SCHIP, states are granted the authority to decide which health plans and services can offered to children.
13.) March 5th, President Obama holds a health care summit with Planned Parenthood, and Human Right's campaign, but no pro-life representation.
14.) March 6th, President Obama creates a new position, and appoints pro-abortion activist Melanne Verveer, ambassador at large for Women's Issues. The hidden agenda there, the position was probably created to promote abortion and overturn pro-life laws in nations.
15.) March 9th, President Obama overturned President Bush's restriction on ESCR. Money from tax-payers can go to scientist who do fetal research on human beings created for the purpose. Obama stopped the Bush preference for proven moral adult stem-cell therapies.
16.) March 10th, 2009, President Obama's HHS Dept opened a 30 day review period to challenge the Conscience Clause for Health Care Workers.
17.) March 17th, Obama nominates David Hamilton, US Circuit Judge for the 7th Circuit. He is a former ACLU leader, who blocked pro-life legislation as a Clinton appointed Federal Judge.
If That's Not Bad Enough, Here's More
1.) Rahm Emanuel, Obama's Chief of Staff, has a 100% pro-abortion voting record.
2.) Ellen Moran, White House Communication's Director, was the executive director fo the pro-abortion political committee Emily's List.
3.) Tom Vilsack, Agricultural Secretary, is pro-abortion.
4.) Leon Panetta, CIA Director, co-sponsored in 1990 FOCA.
The casualties from Normandy will pale with the casualties of unborn life from the Obama invasion.
