Soylent Green: It’s not Science Fiction Anymore

A compendium of cannibalism:

From India Today: Beed, in Marathwada, Maharashtra has suffered the results of skewed population demographics due to the practice of sex selection abortion. Varsha Deshpande of the NGO Lek Ladki Abhiyan, revealed to the Times of India that some of the abortionists in that city had been concealing the practice of aborting girls by feeding the fetuses to dogs. Suresh Shetty, the public health minister of the state of Maharashtra has admitted hearing of these incidents. Deshpande claimed that her organization conducted a sting on one Dr. Sudam Munde, in 2010 during which he discussed aborting the female fetuses and feeding them to his five dogs.

Kansas, USA: Abortionist Krishna Rajanna, was said by his clinic employees to have a practice of stirring aborted fetuses into his lunch. This caused him considerable fame in the prolife news as the fetus eater. Rajanna’s license was suspended in 2005 due to the unsanitary practices at his clinic. Prolifers noted fetuses stored in Rajanna’s freezer and a food processer in his utility room.

China’s Fetus filled health supplement pills, smugglers busted in S. Korea:

Shenzhen, China: Here’s an excerpt from the Notorious old article from the Hong Kong Eastern Express
from April 12,1995, concerning the use of fetuses for food in China:
Last month, reporters from EastWeek – a sister publication of Eastern Express – went to Shenzhen to see if the rumors could be substantiated. On March 7, a reporter entered the state-run Shenzhen Heath Center for Women and Children feigning illness and asked a female doctor for a fetus. The doctor said the department was out of stock but to come again.

The next day the reporter returned at lunch time. The doctor eventually emerged from the operating theatre holding a fist size glass bottle stuffed with thumbsized fetuses.

She said: “There are 10 fetuses here, all aborted this morning. You can take them. We are a state hospital and don’t charge anything.

“Normally, we doctors take them home to eat – all free. Since you don’t look well, you can take them.”

A newer article from Next Magazine in HongKong is featured at Weird Asia News and the posting is accompanied by extremely graphic fetal photos.

All of the above stories tend to nauseate and disgust people, though they have little moral distinctiveness from the embryonic stem cell research practices.

43 Catholic Organizations file 12 lawsuits against the HHS mandate

Forty-three Catholic organizations file lawsuits against HHS mandate :: Catholic News Agency (CNA).

Eleven or more lawsuits had already been filed against the Health and Human Services mandate to pay for birth control/abortion/sterilization, and now 43 more Catholic organizations have piled on.
Kathleen Sebelius, who had no idea that her mandate would be an unconstitutional problem, will be kept busy with depositions. Perhaps this will occupy some of her time and prevent her from doing further damage to health care and the economy.
The University of Steubenville, which has had to drop health coverage for its employees, is among the educational institutions suing the the Obama administration.

Multiple mistakes about Obama and the Born Alive Act in new book, “The Amateur” | Jill Stanek

Jill Stanek reviews Obama opposition to protection for babies born alive, though their mothers were wanting abortion. She addresses errors in the new book “The Amateur”, which is an unfavorable biography of Obama.
Rather than recap, Pharmer points you directly to her article, because it is packed with corroborating links and images.

Multiple mistakes about Obama and the Born Alive Act in new book, "The Amateur" | Jill Stanek.

The old media continues to work overtime to suppress Obama’s extreme pro abortion stance, which is to the left of most abortionists. It’s the responsibility of the new media to keep bringing this topic up, so that all are made aware of it.

Health pills from China, the Ultimate in Recycling,

if the thought of contracting KURU doesn’t bother you. That particular neurodegenerative disease is caused by transmission of prions, most famously through cannibalism.

China Still Selling “Health Pills” Made From Aborted, Dead Babies | LifeNews.com.

The Chinese are said to be recycling the babies from “dying rooms” and those who are aborted or miscarried. They’re desiccating the bodies, and grinding them up for use in health pills.

The ongoing practice of the Chinese in producing and exporting these pills is related to the belief that the fetus is useful as a general tonic and an enhancer of male sexual potency. A documentary from South Korea depicts the customs war that nation has waged against the importation of the fetus pills.

Doesn’t Look Good for Activist Chen Guangcheng:

Activist Chen Guangcheng: Let Me Leave China on Hillary Clinton’s Plane – The Daily Beast.

Hillary appears to have more economic things in mind rather than the fate of Chen Guangcheng, China’s most well known activist. He had escaped from house arrest in Shandong to the U.S. embassy in Beijing. Hillary’s latest statement made during her visit in China does not mention Chen.

Various factors fueled his decision to leave the embassy and have his injuries treated at the hospital. One of those was to prevent the Chinese from taking his family, who had come to Beijing, back to Shandong.

Chen has changed his mind about staying in China, and now wishes for Hillary to fly him and his family out of there.

Pharmer is not expecting Hillary to grant his wish, as she does not sufficiently share Chen’s opposition to the forced abortion policies of China.

TX Still Denying Medicaid Funds to Planned Parenthood.

TX ban on abortion funding reinstated (OneNewsNow.com).

On Monday U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel ordered a Texas to resume paying planned parenthood while the challenge to its law defunding abortion providers is being considered in federal court. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals promptly stayed Yeakel’s order, and the policy will resume. This cuts $17 million in funding to Planned Parenthood, while the case is being decided.

The Worst Time for Chen Guangcheng to Escape

….is with Obama in the White House.

China: Forced Abortion Opponent Chen Guangcheng Escapes | LifeNews.com.

Chen is a renowned human rights activist and self taught lawyer, in mainland China, who has taken up the cause of women who are forced by the government to abort their children.

Chen has been imprisoned and he and his family have suffered many abuses at the hands of the Chinese government. This past week Chen made an escape from house arrest. It’s believed that he might have made it to the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. The saddest difficulty is that he is unlikely to receive any aid or protection from the most pro abortion, U.S. government in history. Neither Obama nor Planned Parenthood oppose forced abortion in china, or sex selective abortions enough to oppose either practice.

Perhaps if enough people are made aware of the situation, Obama might be compelled by election year realities, not to hand Chen Guangcheng back to Chinese authorities. This might compensate for the absent moral compass.

Kathleen Sebelius is the Beta Version of Sandra Fluke

Both the Beta and the marketed version of the Birth Control Gurl program are equally worthless with respect to output content, but as you can see below, Kathleen Sebelius, the Beta version, delivers the output haltingly as though there is a misconfiguration of the audio output device driver.

Watch the fun as Congressman Trey Gowdy questions Sebelius on her efforts to examine the constitutionality of the HHS mandate.

Times of India: Amisha Bhatt Busts Sex Selective Abortionists

Forced into abortion 6 times, woman turns whistleblower – Times Of India.

India has long held a cultural and economic preference for male babies. Those weddings for the girls are expensive, and the male children are more efficient as a social security policy for the parents.

Amisha (Yagnik) Bhatt, of Vastrapur has undergone five sex selection abortions, coerced by her husband, Priyavadan Bhatt, of Anand, and his parents, who desired a male heir. Only one girl child, Kamya, survives. Amisha was married in 2000, and, failing to produce a male child, was rejected by the family in 2009. They were expecting that another wife can produce a male heir, as the biology of sex determination is lost on them. Priyavadan and his parents Gunvantrai and Niranjana Bhatt were arrested in 2009, by the Vastrapur police based upon the charges by Amisha.

India has a Pre-Conception & Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act, which prohibits sex selection abortions but this has not stopped collusion between sonography clinics and abortion clinics. Some sonographers are hiding the names of women who have been sent to the abortion clinics based upon the sex of the baby. The receipts and records supplied by Amisha Bhatt showed the connection between the sonographers and the abortion clinics, and has resulted in two doctors losing their licenses for malpractice. The state government is reviewing medical reporting requirements to prevent this collusion in the future. Yogkshem Manav Sansthan, a social welfare group has been providing assistance to Amisha Bhatt in exposing the crimes of her former in-laws, the sonographers and the abortionists.

Is Planned Unparenthood Seeing Ghosts?

Planned Parenthood in red alert over undercover sex-selection abortion exposé | LifeSiteNews.com.

RED ALERT!!! They’re freaking out over at planned unparenthood.. seeing apparitions of Live Action Actors, asking about determining the sex of their unborn baby, and about obtaining a sex-selective abortion. PP spokesperson Chloe Cooney complained to the Huffington post about suspicious incidents occurring at various clinics, which they suspect to be tied to impending exposure by the very famous Live Action Films or possibly some other pro-life groups.
Though planned unparenthood claims to find sex selective abortions “disturbing” it has opposed legislation to prohibit the practice. Business is business – wouldn’t want to be turning away customers.

‘Create the family you want: Boy or Girl’: Sex selection advertized in Canadian newspapers | LifeSiteNews.com

‘Create the family you want: Boy or Girl’: Sex selection advertized in Canadian newspapers | LifeSiteNews.com.

A Seattle Fertility Clinic has been running ads in Canadian newspapers, targeting immigrants to British Columbia. It uses a preimplantation diagnostic procedure to determine if embryos produced by in vitro fertilization are males or females. This allows an opportunity to destroy those of the “wrong” sex, and implant only those of the desired sex.

In the National Post, Kelly McParland takes aim at Canadians who might be put off by this sex selection industry. Canada has next to no abortion restrictions, and the Seattle fertility clinic is taking advantage of Canada’s very liberal environment. He notes that sex selection “puts feminists in the odd position of defending the right of women to decide against female babies on the basis that females aren’t as valuable or desirable as males.”

Very Late Term Abortions Have Been Suggested for Bioethicists Minerva and Giubilini

A bit of a media uproar was generated by Alberto Giubilini Francesca Minerva who were published in the Journal of Medical Ethics. These two were former associates of the Journal’s Editor, Julian Savulescu, who seems a bit disturbed by the backlash. It seems that some people have written to these two large masses of unproductive tissue that they might be eligible for very late term abortions.

While your friendly Pharmer desires to avoid killing any humans, she is not surprised that the same slippery slope of habitual and gratuitous killing that is now justifying infanticide, would be extended a little further to include bioethicists. After all, that group certainly has less claim than infants do in the area of productivity and value to society. While newborns don’t do too much, they seem to bring a sense of hope and joy to many casual observers. The same is not true for these bioethicists.

Huffpost Pro-abort Screamers Cry About Standard Determination of Gestational Age

Arizona Abortion Bill: Legislators Pass Three Bills, Including One That Redefines When Life Begins.

Pharmer sometimes feels that the reflex for breathing in leftists is connected to the reflex for lying. The above Huff Po headline is the kind of thing which feeds this notion.

Physicians calculate gestational age from the time of the last missed period. It’s an easier thing to do than guess the exact time of fertilization, to mark the beginning of life. When Arizona legislators used this definition in a bill to define a limit of the age at which pre-born humans can be aborted, John Celock shrieked that they are redefining when life begins…… two weeks before conception, he says. (That would be an average.) But Celock doesn’t realize that he fell off of the birth control bandwagon. In his article he unwittingly re-connects conception with fertilization, (as it always had been before the need to sell birth control pills.) He forgot that the ACOG and others had muddied the conception term, and also the pregnancy term, to indicate the time of implantation (about a week after fertilization). This was to make the birth control pills (all of which have multiple mechanisms of action, some of which prevent implantation) more acceptable to women.

Pharmer notes that the left has never been able to get itself coordinated to accept that conception and pregnancy terms apply only after implantation. Perhaps even they can’t totally accept a lie that obvious. But Celock could not resist showing his ignorance of the standard medical practice for estimating fetal age and time of expected delivery, with his dishonest headline.

Reason TV Nanny of the Month: Michael Bloomberg

Nanny of the Month: Bloomberg Halts Private Donations to Homeless Shelters. <— video linked here

Pro-lifers know there’s Nothing Right about NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg. This is the guy who has been harassing crisis pregnancy centers for years, and wanted to force the ob-gyn medical students in his city to participate in abortions as part of their training. He wouldn’t touch his Planned Parenthoods, however, even after Live Action Films busted one of them for aiding the sexual abuse of minors.

We’d call Bloomberg an oddly inconsistent nanny, even with his supposed concern for the well rounded diets of New York’s homeless. He has banned private food donations to the city’s homeless shelters. Apparently the fare in the dumpsters is considered more healthy than the food donations from area restaurants which have been supplied for generations, out of neighborly concern.

Obama Loves Planned Parenthood

Some people arrange flowers, and Pharmer arranges videos.

Obama forgets that Planned Parenthood does not provide mammograms.

Mammograms are not a money maker, and Planned Parenthood does not offer them.

Planned Parenthood is caught accepting a donation specifically to abort a Black baby.

Live Action Classic films show Planned parenthood aiding and abetting sex slavery: Click HERE for the VIDEO SERIES that the launched state and federal investigations, which caused Komen Foundation’s attempt to withdraw funding. Unfortunately Komen was not able to shake free of its abuser, and is suffering as a result. There will be repeated media reminders to Komen that they must stay with their abusive “spouse”.

Operation Rescue: Haskell Watch

Cincinnati Right to Life has reported to Operation Rescue that an ambulance has transported a patient from the Womans Med Center in Sharonville, Ohio during the morning of March 28,2012.

Dr Steven Brinn, a pediatrician in a neighboring office, stated that the woman was being bagged (breathing assistance) and carried out on a stretcher by paramedics.

Haskell lacks hospital privileges required for abortion practices by Ohio law. He has a variance fpr the Sharonville clinic because two other physicians have agreed to cover his “accidents”. One of them is William T Bowers III, who is under probation in Ohio, under criminal investigation in Indiana, and who has lost his license to practice obstetrics in Kentucky.

Haskell operates an abortion clinic in Kettering, staffed by Roslyn Kade and Neil Strickland. Three doctors who cover for their abortions at Miami Valley Hospital, Dayton OH, are Lawrence Amesse, Sheela Barhan and Janice Duke.

Operation Rescue details the possible reasons why Haskell has obtained preferential treatment from politicians, and exemption from compliance with Ohio’s law requiring that abortionists have hospital admitting privileges. Click HERE.

Haskell and former Sen John Glenn had a history of mutual assistance. Glenn appointed Haskell’s supporting, Federal District Court Judge, Algenon Marbley. Haskell is vice president of Beta Theta Pi, a prestigious fraternity with such luminary members as Sen. Richard Lugar, and former Senators Dick Gephart, Mark Hatfield, and Bob Packwood.

Pharmer would like to remind the public that many “accidents” at the abortion clinics, which do not occur while pro-life protesters are stationed outside, remain hidden. Health care professionals and institutions fear reprisals if any patient identifying data were to be accidentally given if they were to reveal abortion related injuries and deaths.

Blast from the Past Michael Voris on Obama Plan to Defeat the Catholic Church

People probably didn’t take this video too seriously back in 2009, when they were still hoping for that hopey changey thing from Barack. Now that Obama is forcing birth control abortion sterilization down everyone’s throat, the premonitions of Michael Voris are worth reviewing.

Secular Prolife Notices: Drexel Law School Official is Fuzzy on the First Amendment

Pro-Life News of the Day: Drexel needs a civics lesson.

There’s a watchdog group at Drexel Law School waiting for pro-life protesters to violate the First Amendment. Kelsey at Secular Prolife notes that the Bill of Rights puts limits on government, not individuals. It’s not possible for an individual citizen, (who is not in government) to violate the First Amendment.
Kelsey also reveals that Drexel law students can get pro-bono credit for helping minors use the judicial by-pass to get abortions without their parents consent. With this comes the info that their own local Planned Parenthood, down the road, failed a 2010 health inspection, for failing to adequately follow up on their abortion patients. (Remenber when Kermit Gosnell’s infanticidal atrocities and slimy clinic suddenly aroused Pennsylvania interest in monitoring the status at abortion clinics?)
Karen Pearlman Raab is the director of Pro-Bono Public Interest Programs. Here’s the web page of her program and her contact link is in the first paragraph. The Judicial by-pass Intake project is on this page, under Working with Youth.

U.S. rams through its Birth Control Mandate at the UN

Friday Fax: US Bullies “Contraceptive Mandate” on International Community.

Obama will bend over for other nations on such things as national security, but his birth control-abortion-sterilization mandate is non-negotiable.

Using a thing mechanism called the Chairman’s text, which allows next to no time for other delegates to view the contents or comment on it, the views of the U.S. on “reproductive rights” were formed into a U N Resolution on Maternal Mortality. This year the limited meeting for other nations to comment was also held off site at the U.S. mission. (Does this seem similar to the Obama Care legislative process?)

Developing nations rejected another document, from the U.S. on the Status of Women, over similar language that they felt would expand the push for abortion. This is regarded as backlash against the U.S. due to its method of pushing through the Obama birth control agenda in the Maternal Mortality resolution.

Bad Building Design at New St. Paul Planned Parenthood Mega-Mill

Pro life Action Ministries shot this cell phone video at the new $16 million, three-story,46,000-square-foot Planned Parenthood facility in St. Paul, Minnesota. As you can see from the inefficient conveyance of this patient to a hospital, the building and signage was not designed with the safety of patients in mind. It would appear from this video that patients who have been injured at the abortion clinic experience a BACK ALLEY exit. More commentary is at Operation Rescue.

Below is the satellite pic of this new facility under construction. It’s incorrectly identified as Lincoln Distributing LLC. Look at facade and count the windows. Yep.. it’s the same mega Planned Parenthood shown in the video. We did not get to see if the patient was wheeled out of the receiving bay (for delivery trucks).

Blagojevich’s Last Day of Freedom | NBC Chicago

Blagojevich's Last Day of Freedom | NBC Chicago.

Blagojevich is remembered for his governor’s edict to force Illinois pharmacists to dispense ALL birth control drugs without delay, regardless of clinical (e.g. thromboembolic considerations) or conscientious (e.g. abortifacient properties) objections. Perhaps Obama and Sebelius, who are imposing more extreme mandates on insurance companies, and the health care industry, will eventually obtain a similar opportunity for meditation and reflection as has been afforded to Rod Blagojevich.

We Knew it All Along, Abortion Coverage Costs Insurance Enrollees $1 Per Month

Obama Admin Finalizes Rules: $1 Abortions in ObamaCare | LifeNews.com.

There is a governmental mandate for U.S. Citizens to purchase health care insurance, or else pay a fine which will increase over the years. The Supreme court is reviewing this mandate at the present time.

Obamacare will be forcing taxpayers into various insurance plans which may cover abortion. There will no opt out in the individual plans for those with religious objections to abortion. There is a separate one dollar fee to be paid per month to subsidize the abortion coverage, with no opportunity to opt out of that particular element of the plans.
People will be herded into this form of insurance as the various companies offering other options, are forced out of business by the onerous regulations imposed on them by Obamacare.

In addition, there is the brand new mandate for insurance companies to offer “free” birth control, which, of course will be covered by all who pay into the plans. The video below explains:

Obama and his media were expecting the women of the U.S. to fall at his feet with joy at the prospect of birth control, abortions and sterilizations funded by others. Recent polling shows a dip in his approval rating, suggesting that women are more interested in an end to the upward spiral of gas and energy costs.

War on Women

The Democrat party has conducted a war on women, and is projecting the blame on others similarly as in their war on minorities and their war on religion.

1) American lefties are supporting sex selection abortions, since the culling of girl babies from families generates abortion revenue. The decision of a woman to kill her daughters and spare her sons is not to be infringed.

2) The lefties regulate the population of their minority “voter stock” by abortion clinic placement and funding practices which has resulted in Blacks being aborted at almost 5 times, and Hispanics at 3 times the rate of Whites.

3) The Democrats have not a word to say about the acquittal of the virginity testing docs in Egypt. There is total silence on this obvious violation of human rights. Testing virginity is a gratuitous vaginal entry which serves no medical purpose. As our Democrats look the other way, and Obama sends our tax money to the interim government there, the women who were violated by military virginity testers, including Dr. Ahmed Adel, have been thrown under the bus. The judicial decision amounts to a denial that the incidents ever occurred.

Using the already routine pre-abortion ultrasounds to inform women about her developing, unborn baby, before she decides to abort, is the leftist idea of rape. Since those ultrasounds area already a part of the procedure, it’s just the Virginia state requirement of offering information to the woman which has raised their cry of “rape”.

The Georgetown Birth Control Gurl, Sandra Fluke, has been compared to activists in Myanmar who have payed the price for their pro-democracy speech with long prison terms. At the women of the world summit, Hillary extolled women “who are assuming the risks that come with sticking your neck out, whether you are a democracy activist in Burma or a Georgetown law student in the United States.”
The ridiculousness of comparing Fluke, who is whining for free birth control, to women such as Zin Mar Aung, who spent years in jail just for writing a letter, is obvious to any sane person.

In the sclerotic brain of Hillary, our desire not to have to pay for the birth control of college students at a $45,000 per year school, amounts to controlling women.

The leftist war on women, which they have projected onto Republicans, has allowed or fostered the torture and killing of females, while profiting from the mechanisms which are used for increasing their sexual availability.

A Peek Inside the Frazzled Leftist Mind

Bill introduced to regulate men's reproductive health.

Whacko Ohio Democrat Senator Nina Turner is upset by the Heart Beat Bill HB 125. She sees it as effort to regulate the health of women, by limiting the availability of abortion.

In response she has introduced Senate Bill 307, which puts in place a series of hoops for men to jump through in order to get Viagra. These include seeing a sex therapist, getting a cardiac stress test and supplying an affidavit from the sex partner, certifying the a state of impotency.

Perhaps she sees limitations on abortion as affecting women more, due to sex selective abortion practices.

How Turner connects impotence and the decision whether or not to kill an unborn baby is anyone’s guess.

Washington Bill Forcing Abortion Insurance Coverage Defeated | LifeNews.com.

In Washington State, House Bill 2330 passed to the Senate and was caught up in debate with the realization that, as a violation of the Hyde Weldon Amendment, it could cost the state $6 billion a year in federal funding. The bill would have required any insurance plan which provides maternity coverage to also provide abortion coverage.

Three Democrats bailed on the bill, and it was unable to pass by the Friday deadline. The bill is now dead through this legislative session.

The Pain of Selective Reduction

An article appears at American Thinker relating the damage caused by a selective reduction abortion. The author’s wife had IVF treatment which resulted in her bearing triplets. She decided that she could only keep one of them and opted for the selective reduction procedure. The author tried to pursuade his wife not to go through with this but she was adamant.

The procedure involved injecting two of the embryos with potassium chloride, guided by ultrasound. Anonymous Dad watched the screen as this was done, and witnessed the aversion responses and deaths of these two triplets. Contrary to the visible evidence, the fertility doctor insisted that the deaths were painless.

From Anonymous: “I pray to G-d every day to take those two innocents to Him, to welcome them, and I ask them every day for forgiveness. As I will every day for the rest of my life. I don’t know what accommodation my wife will make mentally and spiritually. That is her business, and a burden her conscience must bear.”

These words indicate a marriage on the rocks. This is a couple that needs to get with Project Rachel or some other post abortion counseling agency if they want their marriage to survive. One wonders how many divorces result from the differing beliefs of spouses about the value of human life.

Anonymous Dad contributed his article likely as an act of repentance, and also in the hope that others could be dissuaded from abortions. Prayers for his success.

Quicken Loans
Sleep Train
Sleep Number
Citrix Systems Inc.
Carbonite

Some Leftists are Unteachable, They Must be Defeated Politically

Gingrich Slams Media on Limbaugh Focus.

With Extreme, brainwashed Leftists such as David Gregory, of Meet the Depressed, there is no compromise. This man has demonstrated that he cannot take in a new idea that deviates from his narrow template of memorized dogma.

Rush Limbaugh has provided a good deal of live air time for conservatives to express the real issue behind the HHS mandate, which has nothing to do with access to birth control, and everything to do with attacking religious freedom of pro-life people.

Click above and read Newt repeatedly explaining that women have easy access to birth control now, and that the HHS mandate is for the sole purpose of forcing religious people to violate the ethical tenets of their faith. Witness the unresponsivness of Dick Gregory, and evaluate whether he could be trusted to present any issues reliably.

This is an issue for people of any faith, since your religion could be next, at such time when it is found to be inconvenient to the aims of the state.

No viewing of Meet the Depressed was required for this article. You can monitor the media on the internet without wasting the time viewing it, and the accompanying ads.

Update: It’s always fun to see different takes on the media personalities and their modes of operation. The Anchoress has an idea that Gregory might be our man on the inside because he gave Newt his minutes of uninterrupted air time.

One of Pharmer’s more interesting radio interviews involved a host who asked the whole line of left-style questions on the pharmacist conscience issue, which is very much the same vein as this whole HHS mandate business. Pharmer did a similar thing as Newt did, and not for the first time. What added the interest is the call back from this man after the interview. His feelings were hurt by the way he had been addressed by yours truly. He said he was really on our side but was playing devil’s advocate. He had been addressed as the actual opposition.
This man seemed to feel that he had to interview as a leftie in order to have media credibility. Your Pharmer told him that he had been addressed in his assumed role, and he should view it as such.
Maybe these are our people on the “inside”. They do what it takes to stay in position. But maybe if they were not so desperate to be getting along on the inside, that “inside”, which carries so much garbage news, would no longer exist.

After What They Did to Palin, Lefties are Whining

Call a Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance!

Lefties whined when Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University Law student, was refused an opportunity to tout birth control and the desire to have it funded by others, at a hearing on the constitutionality of Obama’s HHS mandate.

Rush Limbaugh has seized the opportunity to give the grrls a taste of their own medicine.

He said that if tax payers have to pay for that law student to have sex, they should be able to see videos of it. He compared Ms. Fluke to a prostitute, for wanting the money from others in order to have sex, and likened the tax payers to johns.

What is it when a woman expects money for conducting her sex life? Rush made a reasonable analogy. Leftists are now shrieking about his disrespect for women.

What have they been doing to Sarah Palin since 2008, though she has never made such a request from others, and has comported herself with dignity?

What are they doing when they deny female patients the right of informed consent about birth control and abortion? What are they doing when they enable and support the sex selective abortions of girls? What are they doing when they oppose efforts to upgrade abortion facilities to at least the standards of veterinary clinics?

Rush has tweeked the media again, as he did when he invented the term feminazi. This is a sustained action tweek, which will pay off in much free media exposure of Lefties’ insane expectation that others be forced to pay for their recreational drugs.

Update *Over the weekend, Rush relented and apologized for some of his terminology used to describe Ms. Fluke. Congressman Darrell Issa is in no mood for apology, as his female staffers are enduring much worse vitriol because of his hearings on the constitutionality of the HHS mandate.

** Jimmy Castor Bunch experiences revival of their 40 year old hit: Troglodyte, thanks to Rush. Think of the Georgetown ladies going back to the barefoot and pregnant state, if they can’t get taxpayers to fund their birth control.

Biden (Gaffe Machine): We “Screwed Up” Conscience Issues in the Mandate

Biden: We "Screwed Up" Conscience Issues in the Mandate | LifeNews.com.

What’s the current state of Obama’s HHS mandate to force insurance companies to cover birth control / abortifacients /sterilizations?

Life News kicks a comprehensive article off with Biden’s admission that the initial mandate was a screw up, and that he didn’t do his job. He’s not smart enough to know that the insurance mandate in its current form is equally as bad, and equally unconstitutional. He’s also not smart enough to know how many religiously run health care institutions offer self insured employee health care coverage. Yes, Biden is a gaffe machine in word and in deed.

Other highlights: Blunt amendment has been tabled and it is coming around again under a new name: Respect for Rights of Conscience Act.

In the house, The Fortenberry bill is the most well supported remedy to overturn the HHS amendment.

There are even some Democrats who have seen the light, and understand that Obama’s egregious violation of the First Amendment, is a negative drag on their efforts for reelection in 2012.

British court rules Catholic midwives can be forced to participate in abortions | LifeSiteNews.com

British court rules Catholic midwives can be forced to participate in abortions | LifeSiteNews.com.

Yes, it can be a lot harder to exercise rights of conscience once you rise into the supervisory and administrative ranks of health care institutions that must offer abortions.

Under socialized medicine, there might be some allowance for health care professionals to conscientiously avoid killing their patients. The problem with rising to the supervisory roles is that one would be forced to oversee the health care professionals who participate in this killing.

This is the crux of the case of two midwife supervisors, Miss Mary Doogan and Mrs Connie Wood, in the UK health system who did not want to involve themselves in that aspect of health care.

The judge in the Edinburgh Court of Session ruled against the midwives, saying that their job was not covered by conscience protections in the Abortion Act.

Judge Lady Smith excluded the senior midwives of the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow from conscience protection because they were not actually performing abortions themselves.

Fr. John Hollowell Speaks to Cecile Richards

Something has Fr. John Hollowell, an articulate Catholic priest and educator, ready to do battle.

Could it be Satan?
Close.
It’s Cecile Richards, president of planned unparenthood.

Fr. Hollowell’s video stands on its own, but you can see Cecile’s video “I Have a Say” in which she extolls the Obama mandate forcing insurance companies to provide birth control/ abortion / sterilization right HERE
Ms. Richards is fast and loose with the fabricated statistics on birth control use. She falsely identifies congressional hearings on the constitutionality of the HHS mandate, as a hearing on “contraception”. A female, wanting to testify about what she thinks is contraception, was not admitted to the first hearing because she was off topic. Even the Politico noticed that the complaint of women not having a say in the hearings was false.

Boston Catholic Insider: Romney Lied About Catholic Hospitals Voluntarily Giving out Plan B

Boston Catholic Insider.

Linked above is an extensive article and information from the Boston Catholic Insider on the process by which the Catholic Hospitals of Massachusetts were coerced to give out the morning after pill to rape victims.
It includes a detailed chronology of events, and is worth your time to read.
Romney appears capable of a similar kind of bait and switch that Obama has done to the Catholic Bishops with his birth control/ abortion / sterilization mandate.

Here’s an 12/2005 article from the Pilot Catholic News about Romney’s announcement that his morning after pill mandate applied to Catholic hospitals. Romney had previously stated that religious hospitals would be exempted by a 1975 law that provided protection for conscientious refusal to distribute birth control or participate in abortion. He later decided that there was no such shield, and demanded that the Catholic hospitals comply with the birth control mandate.

Republicans Slam Media for Birth Control Question

Obama’s position (to the left of NARAL) opposing the Illinois Born Alive Infants protection act, is being softened and spun by the media into a protection of Roe V Wade.

The legislative record of Obama while in Illinois shows his vehement opposition to protecting the lives of babies born alive, prematurely or after failed abortion attempts, or induced early deliveries.

See for yourself: It’s been assembled since the 2008 presidential campaign, HERE!.

Santorum Thinks Obama’s Theology is Bogus

How does Obama, who so fiercely defended the practice of infanticide in Illinois, get a pass for reading from his teleprompters about the practice of communicating with God, and the phony theology of others.

The media is all over Santorum for saying something about Obama’s false religion of ‘climate change’ not being Bible based.

Could it be SAaaaTAAAAAAAAN!???
Pharmer imagines many media figures with heads spinning 360 degrees, as they express pretended shock over Santorum speaking of the time honored concept of personified evil.

Virginia Planned Parenthoods already have been “Raping” women with Ultrasounds

Ultrasounds Already Part of VA Planned Parenthood Abortion Procedure « Alana Goodman at Commentary Magazine.

The latest screeching and howling from the left is that a new Virginia bill requiring abortionists to offer ultrasound data to patients before an abortion, including an opportunity to hear fetal heart tones, involves rape. They’ve been whining about the transvaginal probe which is used routinely in early ultrasounds to locate the position of the fetus.

Pharmer guesses that the abortion supporters are really crying now that the (old) news is out:
Planned Parenthood of Virginia Already includes TWO Ultrasounds, one before and one after each abortion procedure. Guess they have been triple raping women all along, because the cannula and the curette are also inserted vaginally during surgical abortion procedures. Krystal Ball, the Virginia native, abortion expert at MSNBC, appears to have forgotten those little details.

The Virginia bill does not specify which kind of ultrasound is to be chosen. That is up to the doctor. Usually a trans-vaginal ultrasound is chosen for earlier pregnancies, for better visualization. But– repeating again, the new law does not specify which method is to be used.

Obama’s Contraception Cram-down: The Pork Precedent « Public Discourse

Obama’s Contraception Cram-down: The Pork Precedent « Public Discourse.

This analogy between faithfulness to the religious restrictions against eating pork, and that against artificial birth control / abortion / sterilization is particularly apt, because it shows governmental coercion, and management which is closely analogous to the Obama mandate, and his so-called compromise.

Followers of ANY religion, and those concerned with personal liberty would be well served by taking the time to read Michael Stokes Paulsen’s analysis.

The American Spectator : The Little Sisters of Limousine Liberalism

The American Spectator : The Little Sisters of Limousine Liberalism.

George Neumayr says Follow the Money, with respect to seeking out the reasons why “Sister Obamacare” Carol Keehan, has supported the Obama shell game, moving financial management of birth control / abortion / sterilization finances to insurance companies, which still includes many self insured Catholic institutions. All of the religiously run institutions will still be paying the cost.

Neumayr notes that being a “Sister of Limousine Liberalism” has its rewards, and gives yearly salaries for a number of individuals who are touting Obamacare, and the birth control/ abortion/ sterilization mandate. Keehan herself pulls down close to a million yearly.

The Catholic Health Association hospitals under her purview also stand to recieve plenty of cash under Obamacare if it is left to continue in its destructive path.

Injunction Granted for Physician Conscientiously Objecting to Abortion in Spain

Physicians win victories for conscientious objection to abortion in Spain | LifeSiteNews.com.

Spain recently liberalized its abortion laws allowing abortion on demand up to 14 weeks and a bit more restriction for later abortions. Since that time, doctors have been struggling to have their human right to avoid killing patients recognized by the socialist government.

The Superior Tribunal of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia has ovrruled a lower court and granted an injunction giving Dr. Manuel Resa conscientous objector status, until a final decision on the rights of doctors can be reached.

Previously, the Supreme Tribunal of Spain ruled against a couple who sued a doctor for denying them the opportunity to abort their baby, by failing to inform them of an untoward fetal diagnosis. The ruling stated that the deformities were not of serious enough nature to invoke such “right” to abortion.

Sending Health Care Back to the Dark Ages

Democrats: GOP Conscience Protection Amendment Would Take Us ‘Back to Medical Dark Ages’ | CNSNews.com.

Click above and see Crazy democrats who think that protecting conscientious health care professionals and their institutions will send health care back to the dark ages. Their real message is that government should involve itself in the distribution of birth control / abortion / sterilization, and enslave the unwilling to pay for it and to participate in the distribution. This further extends the violation of civil rights that is abortion.

The Republicans are opposing government mandated distribution and enslavement. Under the Blunt amendment, people would have to obtain their own birth control / abortions/ sterilizations from willing providers. Those who are unwilling to do this could retain their freedom and self determination.

In general, the Democrats are most easily able to order others to do their killing for them. Their separation from the actual act of killing preserves them from perceiving the consequences directly. Possibly they also are on enough meds to dull the pain. The Democrats remain the party of slavery.

Killing is not an easy thing to do. Pharmer knows personally that killing animals for research or for eating is not easy. It is very hard for military people to kill. Most veterans take no joy in thinking about past combat experience. Some will avoid even killing animals for food, or exterminating vermin. Some even have to catch and release when they go fishing. Killing is the not the thing that normal people want to do.

There are decreasing numbers of abortionists. Many health care workers cannot stay in that field for long. It causes sickness. The Dems are wanting to involve all of the tax payers and health care professionals in this killing. They resent those of us who don’t want to kill the very young, the disabled or the elderly.

We will be leaving health care in order to avoid the assignment of killing.

This is what will send health care back to the dark ages.

Reid will allow vote on repeal of administration’s birth control mandate – The Hill’s Healthwatch

Reid will allow vote on repeal of administration's birth control mandate – The Hill's Healthwatch.

Senator Harry Reid has changed his mind, and decided to allow Sen. Roy Blunt’s Bill to repeal Obama’s birth control/abortive drugs/sterilization mandate to pass to the full Senate for a vote.
This new decision comes after Obamanator’s unilateral “compromise” to shift the administration of the mandate to insurance companies. This includes all the religious entities which are self insured. The compromise still steps on freedom of religion, still has religious organizations paying for things they consider sinful, and still forces people to sell and to buy things which they don’t want.

Here are two possible motivations: One is that Reid’s constituency includes a lot of self insured religious organizations, and they climbed down his throat.
Another is that Obama needs to bail on this very unconstitutional mandate, and Reid has been ordered to allow Congress to rescind it.

You might want to inform your Senators and Congressmen that you expect them to kill the abortive mandate of Obama/Sebelius. It is likely that most of the Dems realize that all their religious voter support will evaporate if they don’t vote for Sen. Blunt’s legislation.

Abortion Clinics Blame it on Stericycle

2 Texas abortion clinics fined for fetus disposal – San Antonio Express-News.

It would probably help if Legitimate health care facilities understood how their medical waste disposal service operates.

Stericycle, based in Illinois, is in hot water for improper disposal of human fetuses killed at a pair of Texas abortion clinics.

It seems that there was no problem with Stericycle’s steam disinfection method, but in Texas, the medical “waste” (containing little corpses in various states of dismemberment) is supposed to be buried……. NOT thrown in a municipal landfill.

Stericycle has been fined 42,612 for failure to comply with the regulations.

Whole Woman’s Health Clinics in Austin and McAllen are paying up also, a total of about $40,000 between them. They’re placing the blame on Stericycle of course.

Take home information: Pharmer knows that a LOT of hospitals and clinics employ Stericycle to dispose of their medical waste. People who have miscarriages might want to bear this in mind, if respectful treatment of the body is a concern.

What’s Wrong With the Catholic Bishops?

Catholic Bishops: Obama‘s Contraception Mandate Change ’Unacceptable’ | TheBlaze.com.

They’re afraid to lose the money. The church related institutions have become too dependent upon government income. If the bishops weren’t afraid, they would be asking why any health insurers cover birth control, Killing, and sterilizations. These things are lifestyle choices, and the middle one is morally wrong according to all the major religions, particularly when done for recreational purposes. The Bishops are so conciliatory that they express no difficulty with other people, outside specific religious affiliation, being forced to involve themselves in birth control, abortion and sterilizations.
Birth control hormones used for that purpose are recreational drugs. They are taken in order to support a purely recreational activity. Birth control and sterilization also alter a healthy system and make it function abnormally. Therefore they are not really ‘health care’. Nor is killing a part of health care.

It’s as though the bishops aren’t fully invested in removing abortion from Obamacare. Pharmer is still waiting for any word of this issue to be mentioned at her parish.

Mark Steyn subbing for Rush on hangover Monday (2/6/12), appeared to have been taken in by this Onion-like presentation of “news”, at a socially leftist forum. In a sort of parody, a story about Imams from Cincinnati, Phoenix, Green Bay, and Lubbock protesting the Obama birth control Mandate, was attributed to the National Journal. (Following the entry were numerous comments from people who don’t know how the various birth control drugs operate, and do not know why many religions oppose them. )

Mark Steyn realizes that the Muslims are guarding conscience rights against abortion in Europe, and so it was understandable that he’d expect the U.S. Muslims to have something to say about the Obama mandate. What they have to say so far, Obama’s news organs do not want us to know.

Muslims don’t absolutely forbid all abortion and birth control, but do not approve of either being used for recreational reasons. Therefore adherent Muslims would not be happy to distribute the drugs for these purposes in the vast majority of situations.

Like Europe, the U.S. may eventually be relying on the religion, which is not known for turning the other cheek, to deal with Obama’s unconstitutional attack on religious freedom. Collectively the Catholic Bishops are not likely to have enough resolve to get this job done.

LifeNews Petition to Stop Pro-Abortion Mandate

Petitionwire.com – Tell Obama: Stop This Pro-Abortion Mandate.

Click above to participate.

Pharmer took the opportunity to drop a letter at the White House site. It’s blunt, to the point, and written in the most plain language possible. The text is below:

Regarding the birth control, abortifacient meds, sterilization mandate:
I understand that now the First Amendment rights of all pro-life insurance company owners/employees will be violated, as well as all subscribers, including the churches and religious institutions. It’s just as Unconstitutional as the first mandate.

Long ago I knew this would happen with Democrats in control. Couldn’t convince the “faithful” then, but at least it’s easier now.
Health care professionals are being coerced to participate in abortion. The next step is to coerce women to abort, according to government’s demographic requirements.
Incidentally, Muslims are now the ones protecting conscience rights against abortion in Europe.

Planned Parenthood does not launder that much money for democrat elections. Surely, in 2008, more $ came from outside the U.S..
You guys work cheap.

*David Axelrod already had this email address in 2009 and surely there is no need repeat it in your collection. I hate spam.

Dana Goldstein: Transfer Oversight of Your Sex Life From Your Boss to the Government

via Obama Birth Control Compromise Defuses Religion Issue – The Daily Beast.

Above linked is an address in favor of Obama’s new shell game “solution” to the fight with the religious people of the United States.

It’s just as bogus and unsustainable as the rest of Obamacare. Instead of forcing the religious institutions to pay for birth control, abortive drugs and sterilizations, he moves the cost to the insurers, which in turn move the cost back to the employers. The only change is that the employers do not have to speak to their employees about birth control. Obama is still making businesses sell specific products, and making the citizens pay for those products. UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

Pharmer is laughing at Dana Goldstein, of the Daily Beast, who think’s its not rational that a woman’s boss has influence over her sex life. She does think it’s more rational that the influence be transferred to the Government.

There are two to three generations of lefties completely convinced that there is a right for humans to have sex, and that someone else should have to fund the activity and the results: erectile dysfunction meds, birth control, sexually transmitted diseases, infertility, child birth, abortions, etc. I think that human rights end where another human begins. Sex involves two people at least, and can make more.

From the Pharmer comes a more libertarian viewpoint. Why can’t people assume more responsibility for their own behaviors and consequences?? The total cost of health care would go down if people knew that they had to take care of their own sex life and its results.

Third party payment is what has made the cost of health care (and education too) skyrocket, with no return on the extra investment. People are almost never good stewards of other people’s money.

Consider this novel idea… people delay sex until they can foot the bills. Birth control should be paid for in cash, and the same for sex enhancers and drugs for erectile dysfunction. People can enter their choice of insurance pools for to soften the expenses for complications of reproduction. That can be handled in a way similar to dental or life insurance. The cost of reproductive health care would plummet.

Certainly this would not appeal to the lefties who are used to trading in all their other freedoms in order to have sex with people they don’t even like, (or with children).

Maybe those who are interested in freedom and self determination should give the idea of personal responsibility another look.

Feeling the Heat White House to Offer Compromise on Birth Control Coverage

Obama to Announce Contraception Rule ‘Accommodation’ for Religious Organizations – ABC News.

Obama is in hotter water than he thought he’d be in, trying to force religiously affiliated organizations to pay for birth control, abortive drugs and sterilizations.

He’s got a compromise plan to offer, which is poorly described in the media, but supposedly is another way to get birth control from their insurance without the direct involvement of the employers.

The plan sounds like gibberish, and is not expected to satisfy those who object to being forced to pay for these services for their employees. The most useful information is that the White House is worried that it has lost considerable voter support because of the birth control edict.

This bill unfortunately does not address the health care professionals themselves, who will have to leave their jobs in order to avoid participating in similar obamacare mandates.

Susan G Komen Foundation Loses It’s Nerve

Susan G. Komen Foundation Reverses Stance, Pledges to Continue Funding Planned Parenthood | TheBlaze.com.

Komen gave in to the extortion. They probably received the ultimate pressure. Pharmer would bet that Komen got a call from the IRS !!!! Yes, it’s the second thing that came to mind when hearing of this reversal of their original decision.

A normal group would have been angered by the extortion attempt from Planned Parenthood. The Komen group probably is, but fear is the primary driver that would overcome the anger. The biggest thing for a non-profit to fear is losing non-profit status. The next biggest fear is for the leaders to have their own personal reasons for fearing the tax man. The IRS is the instrument of Obama, who is the protector of planned parenthood.

The first thing that came to Pharmer’s mind: Now EVERYONE knows that Komen gives to planned unparenthood.. You can find another charity now, or give directly to research organizations. A while back, Pharmer celebrated Breast Cancer Awareness month by publishing alternatives to the Komen foundation. Click HERE.

*The Christian coalition is an example of a group which gave up non-profit status in order to continue publishing its issues-only voter guide. Planned unparenthood is an example of a group which has been exempted from the IRS criteria needed to retain non-profit status.

Indiana Senate Bill 72 – 2012 Regular Session | eLobbyist

Bill Text: IN Senate Bill 72 – 2012 Regular Session | eLobbyist.

It was fairly easy to get Indiana Senate bill 72 passed by the republicans with most of the meat hacked out of it. What’s left is a bill that stops telemed abortions. It requires certain info to be given to women before giving the drugs, but it does not require that the info on the safety of the drugs be accurate.
Abortionists do not have to report treatment failures or adverse events, deaths, hospitalizations, caused by use of the abortion drugs. Therefore the safety of the drugs can never be assessed or compared with that of childbirth.

The definition of abortion drug, which is the main thing left in the bill can be construed include Ella, (ulipristal acetate) when the doses are accumulated in sufficient quantity to induce a home abortion.

There is no longer a visible requirement that the abortion drugs be used according to the FDA approved label. Therefore planned unparenthood can continue its practice of using one third the recommended dose of mifepristone, double the dose of misoprostil, and ejecting the embryo or fetus dead or alive.

The top link will lead you to what’s left of the bill as it leaves the senate.

Pharmacists will require special definitions of interceptive drugs, (which kill the early human embryo by stopping implantation), and and entirely separate legislation to be excused from dispensing the morning after pills, including Ella, which can be used for home abortions if the doses are accumulated.

Inside story on Komen split from Planned Parenthood – Jill Stanek

Inside story on Komen split from Planned Parenthood – Jill Stanek.

Click above for a bit of inside scoop on the “divorce” of Susan G Komen Foundation and Planned Parenthood. Jill Stanek predicts that Komen is totally finished with funding planned parenthood, and one reason is that the latter organization took their “divorce” to the press, as a means of punishment.

Pharmer would be more enthusiastic about Komen foundation if it were really interested in addressing all the means to prevent and cure breast cancer. It seems to have become one of those bloated “non-profit” behemoths which burn a good portion of the funds which could have gone directly towards productive research and interventions.

Some charitable organizations begin a program of self perpetuation, to bring about job security for the employees.

The decision by Komen foundation to ditch planned parenthood likely had more to do with decreasing controversy, increasing income, and less to do with ethical reasoning.

The Komen statement that it does not fund embryonic stem cell research is likely fueled by public awareness that such efforts have produced no positive medical results. Geron, the former industry leader is also bailing out, and moving more resources to adult stem cell work. The statement put forth by Komen claims that it never funded embryonic stem cell research, though it has had prior association with institutions which were carrying out such research.

Click for Komen financial statements.

More on planned parenthood punishing Komen for defunding them. PP is using this event as a fundraiser and as a threat to other corporations which stop giving. Imagine what will happen if the girl scouts bail on them! Moral of the story, don’t get started with planned parenthood.

Susan G. Komen Foundation Defunds Planned Parenthood

Susan G. Komen for the Cure Halts Partnership With Planned Parenthood | TheBlaze.com.

Over 680,000 dollars last year flowed from Susan G Komen foundation to various planned parenthood affiliates. The funding will be stopped until the congressional investigation of planned parenthood obtains a result exonerating that organization of the charges of concealing sex abuse of minors.

The actual underlying decision by Komen probably has more to do with loss of contributions because of their longstanding tie with planned parenthood. It has become more publicly known that planned parenthood uses only the “TSA method” of breast cancer screening, not mammography or MRI.

Unsigned NYT Editorial Wanders from Birth Control to Sonograms

Birth Control and Reproductive Rights – NYTimes.com.

Some anonymous leftie at the New York Times praises Obama’s decision to trample on the human rights of religiously affiliated health care employers. The article wanders from this to weeping about those who oppose being made to pay for the recreational drugs and abortions desired by others.

Yes, birth control pills, when used for that purpose are recreational drugs, and almost all abortions are recreational procedures. They are optional, and support the pursuit of sex as a mini-vacation, purely for the fun of it.

This short editorial covers a lot of territory, moving next to the Texas rule mandating sonograms before abortions (allowing detection of ectopic pregnancies, and permitting more safety for the woman.) This regulation does not mandate that a woman be shown her sonogram, but does require that basic information be offered to her in order to support informed consent for the abortion procedure.

It is vastly amusing to see a leftist decrying “intrusion into the doctor patient relationship”. Medicare, medicaid and thousands of health care regulations are all about government standing between the patient and the physician. The vast majority of this intrusion has been at the behest of the leftists. One measure to provide for patient safety and informed consent with respect to abortion causes these same people to go ballistic.

Catholic Letter Denounces Health Care Contraceptive Mandate | Video | TheBlaze.com

Catholic Letter Denounces Health Care Contraceptive Mandate | Video | TheBlaze.com.

Catholic Bishops have put out letters opposing Obama’s latest assault on first amendment rights, and these were to be read to congregations this past Sunday. Obama has given Catholic institutions a year to begin paying for birth control, abortion producing drugs and sterilizations in their health care plans.

The bishops state that they will not comply, and are urging the congregants to write to their representatives in government to oppose Obama’s violation of civil rights, and religious freedom.

If you attended Catholic Church this past Sunday and did not hear this letter, it might be good to ask your pastor or your bishop why.
