Yesterday, we told you that Hillary, our Secretary of State and a staunch pro-abortion feminist, had received the Margaret Sanger award. This award was given at a gala in Houston Texas. We pondered yesterday about Margaret Sanger's credentials, but today, we ponder Hillary's bizarre response to the award.
Reporters report that her remarks were bizarre. However, she was in a strange position. After all, she was receiving the Sanger award, in honor of the founder of Planned Parenthood. Who could feel better at a gala in Texas? Where she was telling, that directing Family Planning money into the hands of groups, who never tire of finding new populations to eliminate or thin out. Clinton was reported as saying, "When President Obama repealed the Mexico City Policy, it was an example of smart power." Opening the sluices that allow tax dollars to pour into the hands of militant pro-abortionist, I would not call that smart power.
Hillary further stated, "I want to assure you, that reproductive rights, and the umbrella issue of women's rights and empowerment, will be a key to the foreign policy of this Administration."
Abortion and birth control and education and the right to vote all fall under the same umbrella. Each one is as Hillary says, part of expanding opportunities for women.
Hillary told her audience, "Yet we know that Margaret Sanger's work here in the United States and certainly across our globe is not done." I think the gloves are off, what say you?
"Bait and Switch" may be in the works at the federal level. Watch the Obama administration for the following stem-cell research legislation. 1.) The NIH (National Institute of Health) will be given broad authority to fund research that will use, not only left over human embryos, but also create for research new human embryos, including embryos created by cloning. 2.) This may be coupled with a clone and kill provision, which will be labeled as a "ban on human cloning" but, actually define human cloning in a manner that allows the mass creation of human embryos by cloning for the purpose of using them in research that will kill them. The pro-cloning side hopes the smuggle through these radical policy changes, on this authorization (funding) legislation and then gut or repeal the Dickey-Wicker amendment. This amendment prohibits funding from the Health & Human Service Appropriations for cloning.
Present legislation prevents human cloning by the Dickey-Wicker amendment. This amendment is a funding amendment. In other words, no funds can be used while the amendment is active. By shifting to the National Institute of Health (NIH), they are "bait & switching" funding, as well as ethics and morals. Once NIH is given the broad authority, it will be relatively easy to gut or repeal Dickey-Wicker.
Idaho has had a victory. SB 1114, a bill which would have legalized Futile Care theory in Idaho, is dead for the year. This bill was on a fast track for passage until the 11th hour. The reason for fast passage was no one knew about the Futile Care bill. Once recognized, opposition was mounted and the bill is dead for the session, we think.
As with all legislatures, the bill may be amended, but it is being carefully watched.
This brings a couple points to mind. Watch legislation always. In Illinois, Lisa Madigan has just mandated that hospitals can only charge 25% of a poor person's salary if hey are hospitalized without insurance. This is a death knell to hospitals, who already are suffering lack of payment from the government, industry and the public, both insured and uninsured.
Futile Care theories are rationing of health care. Although Futile Care exists, it cannot be legislated. No health care can be legislated. That's why health care is a profession.
Schizophrenic? You bet. Here's the latest. Puzzle for you .. how can a man be a woman? How can a woman be a man? How can a man be pregnant? Preposterous? Not so in this day and age. But, a woman on male hormones, who wants to be a man, but isn't yet/never, now says she/he's pregnant, with twins no less! Sound like science fiction? But it's reality.
Ruben Noe Coronado Jimenez, who is reportedly nine weeks pregnant, interrupted hormone treatments and postponed plans to have a full sex-change operation in order to get pregnant because his 43-year-old girlfriend could no longer have children. (maybe she's trying to become a man). The real victims in this case are the twins, and our society.
The mother of the octoplets, at least didn't abort her children and is trying to be the best mother she can possibly be .. not the father.
Yesterday, we blogged on Plan B's availability over the counter to 17 yr. olds. Today, in the newspaper we read, "an influential government appointed medical panel is urging doctors to routinely screen all American teens for depression - a bold step that acknowledges nearly 2 million teens are affected by depression."
Most of these teens are undiagnosed and untreated. These were the results from the government. The task force estimates 6% of US teenagers are clinically depressed. They noted that depression can lead to persistent sadness, social isolation, school problems and suicide. We would add, abortion STD's and sexual promiscuity.
As we said yesterday, Plan B, a very dangerous drug should not be available over the counter to under age girls. The government has just proved our point. The very same government who legislated that Plan B can be given to minors over the counter. It seems their schizophrenic. What do you think?
While watching TV this weekend, a debate over the recent ruling and safety of Plan B for minors took place. The proponents of the plan said, there were no risks to a young girl's health. The opponents stated that parental involvement was primary in this discussion. I think the facts are what really count. Here they are ...
How does Plan B work? Plan B is believed to act as an emergency contraceptive principally, by preventing ovulation, or fertilization. (by altering tubal transport of sperm and or ova). This is why ectopic pregnancy is a risk for anyone taking Plan B. It may inhibit implantation by altering the lining of the uterus. Plan B is not a contraceptive if the woman is pregnant. However, Plan B may cause a newly conceived embryo, because it cannot implant in the wall of the uterus,to die. Therefore Plan B is both contraceptive and abortifacient.
Plan B, or the "Morning After Pill" (MAP) lacks testing for safety. Access to the drug over the counter, or without a prescription, would prompt use among consumers, who unknowingly have medical conditions, that put them at high risk of life threatening complication. If complications occur, it will be difficult for doctors to treat, when the girl's medical history is unknown or hidden. The MAP is a high dose of the birth control pill, which requires a medical exam, a prescription and physician oversight. Birth control pills can cause significant or life threatening conditions..ie..for example blood clots, stroke and heart attacks. Birth control pills are contra-indicated for women with diabetes, liver problems, heart disease, breast cancer, deep vein thrombosis (blood clots) and for women who smoke and are over 35. Physician oversight is necessary to ensure that none of these contra-indications exist. According to the CDC, approximately 1.85 million women of reproductive age (18 - 44) have diabetes, approximately 500,000 do not know they are sick.
Now we want our kids to have access to Plan B without any involvement of the parent? The rapists of this world will be happy with that decision. This pill could be slipped to young girls by the statutory rapist to cover up their abuse of adolescents.
In watching TV, the debate centered over the use of condoms verses MAP. Everyone agreed that condoms protected the user from sexually transmitted diseases, as did MAP. I thought about that, knowing of course that condoms don't protect from STD's, neither does the morning after pill, and listening to experts saying they did. This brought to mind the lies that promote sexually promiscuity. I wonder if TV debaters know that sexually transmitted disease rates have sky-rocketed. Why? Condoms don't protect from STD's, nor do they protect the heart.
The high dose of hormones that are in Plan B, pose a huge risk for young women. Are we not concerned about young girl's health, rather than the comprehensive sex agenda?
I wonder whose going to pay for Plan B? Planned Parenthood has offered the MAP (you need 2 doses after unprotected sex at $30 to $50 a dose). Perhaps it's in the stimulus package.
Regions that have allowed easy access to MAP have noted a significant increase in sexually transmitted diseases. The highest increases were among the 16 to 19 yr. olds. Many teenagers would be less confident in resisting sexual pressure, if easy access to the MAP is available.
Even Morning After Pill (MAP) promoters agree that sexually active girls are likely victims of sexual abuse and interaction with medical professionals is an important defense. If over the counter Plan B to 17 yr olds becomes the normative, that defense will disappear, leaving our children once again victims of a society that doesn't care about them.
Wow! I'm glad we won the Revolution. In Britain, for the first time, British women may be offered stem-cell therapy offering a "natural" breast enlargement. The treatment could boost cup size, while reducing stomach fat. Wow! Let's remember, "vanity and happiness are never compatible".
The treatment involves extracting stem-cells from spare fat on the stomach or thighs and growing them in a woman's breast, producing an increase of one cup size is likely. However, as the technique improves, the size may be more. This is a separate project from the credible and ethical project, which uses stem-cells to repair the breasts of women who have had cancerous lumps removed.
The enhancement treatment beats silicone. However, morally it is bereft. It will however, in our hedonistic society, take off. "Vanity, thy name is woman." Enhancement therapy may outgrow ethical medical research. Another thought to ponder, after cup size increase, what if prevailing society likes an A cup. Is male enhancement next?
A noble calling, but not a noble calling.The Final Exit network is a fringe group in the mainstream of the euthanasia movement. However, they're leaving a trail of dead people in their wake. Mr. Lom was depressed, 88 yrs. old with failing eyesight. He wanted to die, although his daughter said he was healthy. Last May, he swallowed pills in a failed attempt to kill himself.
He then communicated with the Final Exit network, a national organization whose members provide support to those seeking a "peaceful end", translate, killing yourself with the help of noble guides (assisted suicide). He was found dead in January. Cause ... breathing helium gas with a plastic bag over his head. I don't think that is a peaceful end. Helen, Lom's daughter, believes the Final Exit network convinced her father to take his life. Although the Final Exit network officials have denied any involvement in the death, Helen believes otherwise. She said, "They might not have put the hood over his head, but they basically gave him the recipe book."
Tragic? You bet. Suicide clinics may come sooner than we think. Verbal engineering on the benefit of assisted suicide is prevailing in the media.
President Obama has nominated and sent to the Senate for confirmation, Dawn Johnsen in the position of assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel, "AAG-OLC". Why are we people of good faith opposed to her confirmation? Because, the person who serves as AAG-OLG will play an influential role in both construing existing laws and in evaluating the constitutional and legal implications of various legislative and administrative proposals.
The Justice Departments web site explains, "The Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Office of Legal Counsel, provides authoritative legal advise to the President and all the Executive Branch agencies. The Office drafts legal opinions of the Attorney Generals and also provides it's own written opinions and oral advice in response to requests." The Office is also responsible for providing legal advice to the Executive Branch on all constitutional questions and reviewing pending legislation.
Dawn Johnsen has a long history as a pro-abortion strategist, propagandist and litigator, including five years as legal director for the organization, then known as the National Abortion's Rights Action League, (NARAL), as well as work on behalf of the ACLU and Abortion Rights Mobilization. Throughout her career, she has expressed her opposition to all limits on abortion. And has often criticized courts for being, in her view, insufficiently expansive in their application of pro-abortion legal doctrines.
In a Supreme Court case, Webster v Reproductive Health Services, Johnsen was the lead author on a brief that argued that statutes that limit access to abortion are, "disturbingly suggestive of involuntary servitude, prohibited by the Thirteenth Amendment, in that enforced pregnancy requires a woman to provide continuous physical service to the fetus ..."
Since her nomination, Johnsen has made a few feeble and unconvincing attempts to distance herself from some of her past actions and statements. Obama's nomination is very adamently pro-abortion, but so is he.
On March 27th, 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton received Planned Parenthood Federation of America's highest award, named after a notable eugenicist, Margaret Sanger. Wow! Hillary and Margaret Sanger!
For those of you who can't remember who Margaret Sanger was, she founded Planned Parenthood. Margaret was one of America's most prominent eugenicist in history. Margaret advocated segregating millions of "unfit" people on farms where they would not be permitted to reproduce. Margaret wrote in a journal she founded, "The Birth Control Review", "With the future citizens safeguarded from hereditary taints, with 5 million mental and moral degenerates segregated, with 10 million women and 10 million children receiving adequate care, we could then turn out attention to the basic needs for international peace." Margaret boldly supported the eugenicist movement for a superior race that was free of poor, immigrants and minority citizens. She even spoke at a rally of the Ku Klux Klan. Wow! No wonder that Afro-American and Latino neighborhoods have the highest number of abortion clinics. What an award! I wonder what President Obama thinks? I wonder if he cares if the highest number of abortion clinics are in Afro-American neighborhoods?
The award was presented at a gala in Houston Texas. The award states, "Hillary has been a champion of women's health and rights throughout her public service career. I think she's been a champion, almost a serial killer of unborn babies and God knows who else is at risk.
