Expect Something like Rolling Closures for Healthcare Too

~ Pharmer

Philadelphia mayor Michael NUTTER (yes, that’s his name, apparently) proposes rolling closures of the fire houses in his city due to the budget crisis. These closures will be random and the affected neighborhoods will not be given advance warning.

You can imagine that the lefties would apply something like this to handle the health care budget shortfall, but it is most likely that health care professionals will quit in droves, before such a proposal is put forth.

Obama Administration Approves First Direct Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Through New High-Risk Insurance Pools

CNSNews.com – Obama Administration Approves First Direct Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Through New High-Risk Insurance Pools.

This funding is really in addition to the federal money going to bribe Kenya to accept abortion, with much more to immediately follow.

Bart Stupak should be so proud.  Carol Keehan of CHA ought to  be jumping for joy.

160 million dollars of federal tax money  will go to start a new high risk insurance pool in Pennsylvania which will pay for any legal abortion.

Now will the prolifers who voted for Obama finally believe what we’ve been telling them for  years.

As usual, Jill Stanek has done the digging on the PA high risk unsurance plan and exactly which abortions will be covered: anything legal in that state. Sex selection abortions are excluded. The plan says that elective abortions are not covered, but those determined to be necessary by the woman’s abortionist are covered. You know what that means.

Ken Blackwell Reminds Us of Obama’s Lie about Federal Spending on Abortion

~ Pharmer

Yes, We Kenya!.

The example, given in the above linked article, is the US bribery of Kenya,  encouraging a pro-abortion alteration of their constitution in order to open the spigots of funding from abortion loving countries.    Joe Biden was sent on that particular mission to degrade one more African nation.

Christine Gregoire Backing Down from Abortion Extremism in Preparation for move to Washington DC

~ Pharmer

Washington state lawyers acknowledge pharmacies’ right to not stock Plan B :: Catholic News Agency (CNA).

Kevin Storman owned a number of Thriftway stores in the Olympia area of Washington State.   He decided to back his pharmacists decision (at Ralph’s Thriftway) to avoid stocking and dispensing the Plan B morning after pill.

This sent governor Christine Gregoire into a foaming frenzy of involving herself in a boycott of the stores, and threatening to fire members of the Washington Board of Pharmacy if they backed the freedom of pharmacists to conscientiously object to dispensing this abortive drug.

In 2009, a federal judge decided in favor of the store owners and pharmacists but that ruling was struck down on appeal and the case was remanded back to the district court.

Recently a request for summary judgment, from the Governor, was turned down, and trial was scheduled to resume in Federal District  Court in Tacoma, Washington.

This past Wednesday,  July 7, the Board’s lawyers signaled that there would be regulations enacted to protect pharmacists who would not dispense this drug, providing that they would refer the patient elsewhere.

Curiosity has arisen as to the reason behind  a Gregoire Administration reversal of policy regarding the pharmacists.

Gregoire, being crazy-pro-abortion enough,  was on the Obama Short List for Souter’s position on the U.S. Supreme court, but this position eventually went to Sotomayor.

Elena Kagan is the likely leftist body to fill the open position on the Supreme Court left by liberal Justice John  Stevens.   Gregoire is on the list to possibly occupy the solicitor general vacancy left by Kagan should she be confirmed.

Perhaps the prospect of moving to Washington DC has left Gregoire less interested in the local issues of  Washington State.
