Freedom of Worship

Obama speaks of freedom of worship, and no longer freedom of religion. What’s the difference? You can hide in your church and do your rituals in Obamaville, but you can’t exercise the tenets of your faith in the public square. The government will not let you behave as your religion directs.
This difference is what Santorum was highlighting when he spoke of Kennedy’s speech. Kennedy was assuring the potential opposition that he would NOT BEHAVE AS HIS RELIGION DIRECTED. In retrospect, we know that is the case, from his governmental dealings to his use and prostitution of his 19 year old intern mistress. There remain practicing Catholics who find the Kennedy family, Pelosi, and Biden to be an embarrassment.
Obama has clearly indicated that Christians are consigned to the statist version of dhimmitude. He is willing to accept millions of deaths resulting from dissolution of a huge portion of our health care institutions in order to complete his downsizing of America.

Journal editor defends pro-infanticide piece: Killing newborns is already legal in Holland | LifeSiteNews.com

Learn about the Groningen Protocol, a standard which determines which newborn babies may be killed in the Netherlands.

Pro-life people have known about the infanticide occurring in America and throughout the world for many years, but it seems that the rest of people are still in shock from the pronouncements by two Australian “bioethicists” that this is OK, based on considering it as an extension of abortion.
The authors after getting so many “love letters” about their publication, have explained that they “join disability activists who condemn the routine recommendation of abortion for no other reason than to prevent the death of an affected baby.”
They see waiting until birth as a better alternative, because there is less chance of a false diagnosis of anomalies and a better assessment can be made of a newborn.
Journal of Medical Ethics editor, Julian Savulescu, who has also argued against waiting until patients are dead before organ harvesting, has taken time out to defend the pro-infanticide article, saying essentially that it is nothing new.
What’s new is that the general public is uncomfortable with killing a baby who is visible.

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.

Celestial Discharge: Andrew Breitbart

Conservatives grieve the loss of another happy warrior, Andrew Breitbart, who fearlessly defended his profession, truth in journalism, and his beliefs publicly. Pharmer expresses gratitude to Breitbart for giving a forum to James O’Keefe, Live Action Films, the Memorial Day Weekend, Springer Scoop on Anthony Wiener, Fraud at the Dept. of Agriculture, the real Occupooper agenda, and so many other stories the old media chose to lose. Pharmer has this to say about Mr. Breitbart going to God so early : Good for him and BAD for US. Prayers for his family, and thanks for sharing him with America. His fearlessness and desire for truth is a model for conservatives to emulate

This one is up on my blog because this H.S. aged Gurl is responding in thoughtful and rational manner to the loss of Andrew Breitbart, whom she admired.

Thoughtful and rational at age 17……… yep she’s a real conservative.

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.
