Prayers and support for Sen Ben Nelson to reconsider his vote
Nebraska democratic Senator Ben Nelson sold out. It’s true and the pro-life community is disappointed, angered and despondent. Sen Nelson had repeatedly vowed that he would not vote for the senate version of “healthcare reform” unless the bill included strict language prohibiting the use of federal funds for abortion.
Instead, at the 11th hour, Senator Nelson caved. Not to pressure, but to temptation. A $100 million payoff to Nelson by way of a permanent exemption from increased state contributions to Medicaid for Nebraska.
Senator Nelson has been roundly castigated. And deservedly so. But he surely has heard our voices and now is the time to forgive. We all err, and we all succumb to temptation on occasion. And in Senator Nelson’s case there is ample time for a generally staunch defender of the unborn to make amends and find redemption.

NOW feigns “outrage” over abortion and Obamacare
“Wake Up, Washington! Abortion Is Health Care” -Erin Matson, NOW Action Vice President
Numerous reports abound citing rage on the distant left over President Obama’s alleged moderation on the final version of his “healthcare reform” bill. No “public option”, “opt out” clauses, backroom deals with the satanic health insurance industry and, most laughably, no provisions for abortion.
There are people who are apparently letting their guard down and luxuriating in a long sigh of relief. He’s listening to us. It won’t be as bad as everyone thought. Common sense and responsible government prevails.
Such wishful thinking is, well, foolish. Based upon Barack Obama’s rhetoric and associations during his entire career, the resumes of his cabinet members and “czars”, the radical nature of the democratic leadership and the extremist fringe groups they are beholding to, anyone who succumbs to complacent self delusion about what will come out of Washington on healthcare just ain’t thinkin’ right.

The Capps Amendment Abortion Hustle
September 8, 2009
Implementing an abortion “head tax”
The “Healthcare Reform” hustle on abortion is now being aided and abetted by liberal religious organizations citing the Capps Amendment to HR 3200 as proof that President Obama has no intention to include abortion services in the “public option”. Congresswoman Lois Capps is seen at the left demonstrating against California’s Prop 8 initiative restricting marriage to one man and one woman.
Obamacare supporter Chris Korzen, executive director of Catholics United (Catholics-United.org) gave the group’s imprimatur to HR 3200 claiming “The inclusion of the Capps Amendment represents a positive step toward health care reform that preserves existing policies prohibiting federal funding for abortion services…”.
It remains to be determined whether groups like Catholics United, or Jim Wallis’s Sojourners, are intent on fooling themselves, merely bent on fooling others, or both. Even casual perusal of the text of the amendment bares it for what is intended to be. Legislative bait and switch, written in Clintonese and riddled with loopholes.

The False Witness: “We Are God’s Partner In Life And Death”
August 27, 2009
Self deification and slander belies Obamacare plea to the pulpit
Self deification and slander of those opposed to socialized medicine marked the highlights of President Obama’s two teleconferences with liberal and progressive religious leaders last Wednesday.
An avowed proponent of “separation of church and state”, Mr Obama seems to have found religion in a foxhole as barrages of civil protest against Obamacare continue to rain down on the White House and congressional democrats.
Our suddenly pious president hurled the bible at opponents charging “there are some folks out there who are, frankly, bearing false witness”, referring to concerns that government intervention in America’s healthcare system will inevitably lead to rationing of medical care.
The president, however, rendered himself the ultimate false witness during a second “private call” with 40 rabbis. Mr Obama pointedly admitted that under Obamacare end of life decisions will indeed be placed in the hands of government as, verging on blasphemy, he arrogantly proclaimed “we are God’s partners in life and death”.

Citizen Palin Terminates Death Panels
August 17, 2009
Euthanasia is a fundamental component of socialized medicine
The US Senate finally got it’s mind right. The Senate Finance Committee announced it will drop section 1233, the Death Panel provision, from the senate’s version of “healthcare reform”. The announcement came after indignant denials from the distant left that any such provision existed anywhere in the various versions of Obamacare under consideration.
While section 1233 was euphemistically titled “end of life counseling”, anyone familiar with government controlled healthcare programs understands the concept for what it truly is. Guidelines for the rationing of medical care to the elderly, and eventually, the chronically ill and the handicapped. Death Panels.
This victory for life can primarily be attributed to the undaunted courage to speak out of one private citizen. Sarah Palin.
Having optimistically written off Palin as a future force to contend with, after her resignation as governor of Alaska, the distant left was blindsided by the virtually overnight success of Palin’s lightening strike, launched out of her new Facebook page. Severe cases of Palin Envy have reemerged in the bewildered, enraged leftist media.

“Obamacare”: The Devil Is In The Lack Of Details
July 24, 2009
Euthanasia and abortion will be fundamental aspects of “controlling cost”
President Obama’s highly ballyhooed (the clucks at MSNBC actually had a countdown clock) press conference on healthcare spoke volumes about what the president and congressional democrats have no intention of speaking about.
The whole show boiled down to the by now standard Obama MO of declaring an imminent crisis and reciting a cliché. The cliché of the evening was “no one can be denied coverage of pre-existing conditions”. The deliberately misleading big lie inherent in all government controlled health care. Because “coverage” does not equate with, or guarantee, treatment.
The truly deadly “R word”, rationing of healthcare, is by necessity and design an integral component of every government controlled healthcare plan in existence. And this one will not be any different just because Barack Obama is initiating it.
“Controlling cost”, from the first day of Obamacare onward will focus on the two easiest targets: the elderly and the unborn.
