Bugs R Us: STD edition

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

Bummer.  Another Drug Shortage.  This time Bicillin L-A, the top drug used to inject sufferers of syphilis who come into the ER, is in shortage.   It’s  particularly important for pregnant ladies infected with the little corkscrew Treponema pallidum, as babies being born with the bug is the absolute WORST. Yes, it seems amazing that benzathine penicillin still works on syphilis after all of these years, and wouldn’t it figure that somehow Pfizer can’t make enough to meet demand.  A ‘manufacturing delay’ is cited.

How about that Zika virus??  Now it is claimed that it can be a sexually transmitted disease, passed by just about any kind of sex.

Listen up.  HIV isn’t impressive enough to chill people down just a little bit with with their risk taking behavior. Do you think they’ll care about Zika virus?  Naaaaah.  No one is going to give up SEX for that, however there is one bicyclist Teejay Van Garderen, who has decided to stay home from the summer Olympics in  Brazil this summer because his wife is pregnant, and he doesn’t want to risk transmission.

 

 

United Methodists quit Pro-abortion Church Group

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

The United Methodists have ended their relationship with the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.   This is especially good news for yours truly who had to keep her youngest kid home from school mission trips  in protest of this unholy association.  This decision was reached at the Quadrennial General Conference meeting in Portland by a vote of 425 to 268 (a landslide).

The rationale behind the decision calls the RCRC a “one-sided political lobby that opposes all disapproval or limitation of abortion.”

Yuuuuuuuge: Trump is not allergic to Pro-lifers

~ Pharmer

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B Anthony List, reports that Donald Trump has hired John Mashburn as his policy director.  Mashburn has been chief of staff to Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, a well known advocate of life. Ms. Dannenfelser says that Mashburn’s pro-life roots go all the way back to his service with Sen. Jesse Helms.

Learn more about the highly respected Susan B. Anthony List and it’s pro-life political advocacy HERE,  and consider them as a resource for casting well informed votes.

It’s encouraging  to hear that Trump is not secretly allergic to pro-life views. Maybe we can find a way to convey to him the inefficiency of relying on hormonal birth control (which is not nearly as effective as advertised), as well as the cost of the myriad health problems from these drugs, and the ensuing abortions.

Pharmers’ message to Mr. Trump: Operating in harmony with natural law is good business. 

Media Slip Reveals When Human Life Begins

~ Pharmer

This is WORSE than when Hillary said that the “unborn human being doesn’t have constitutional rights”, and the aborto-nauts freaked out over the terminology.

This Telegraph UK article is gaga over research showing what happens when sperm enzyme acts on the membrane of the oocyte.   This had not been seen using human eggs in the past.  A pretty fluorescence is visible as zinc ions exit the membrane during what would be the beginning of sperm penetration.

All over the article is reference to the BEGINNING OF LIFE.  So there should be a screen shot of this before it disappears, after the aborto-nauts throw another hissie fit.

WHEN LIFE BEGINS, FLASH OF LIGHT
WHEN LIFE BEGINS, FLASH OF LIGHT

Unfortunately the main thing coming out of this research is a plan to use the intensity of the flash to evaluate which test tube embryos to keep and which to toss out.

That didn’t take long…. China has suspended Apple’s music vid and iBooks. How about that!! Can you guess why? Leftists take heed. China has a strong central government which censors what its people sees. And it doesn’t like the social agenda of the West and what it’s pushing, 24/7. Apple is completely mum about this because we’d all be wondering why they hate the religious freedom states here so much, but put up with China completely suppressing their “rainbow” content. Many of our other multi-national companies are behaving the same way. Western Christians are so much easier to cow than the Chinese, Russians and the Muslims.

The LA Times reported on this event, but naturally had NO CLUE as to what would cause China to shut down most of Apples content service.

One more time, lefties.  This is what’s going to happen when you build that utopia of your dreams, with the government controlling everything.  There will be a decision that your habits bring about extreme financial burdens, and then………. POOF!

Leftists Shedding Tears over Pope’s Latest Apostolic Letter

~ Pharmer

Pope Francis has just put out Amoris Laetitia, an apostolic letter addressing marriage and family life.  The title means “The Joy of Love”, something different than  “The Joy of Sex”.

Tears are falling into beers, lattes, girlie drinks, and fine vintages, as leftists quietly suffer.  The Pope was never going to sign onto the political fad of same sex marriage, or any other civilization shrinking arrangements.

Analysts inform us that the Pope’s letter is full of a little more down to earth advice, and a little less academic theory.  This means that Pharmer might actually pick it up and read the whole thing, and see if there is specific advice from Pope Francis on steering the marriage through “mentalpause”  (which is menopause plus manopause).  It could be a fun read.

As for media coverage of the momentous event of the Catholic Church holding fast to its teaching, and refusing to change……. you’ll be able to hear a pin drop, amid the falling teardrops.

Oh!!!!  Please call those leftie social engineers a WAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE!

Call a WAAAAAMBULANCE!
Call a WAAAAAMBULANCE!

 

Starbucks CEO Peeking Out of His Bubble

~ Pharmer

Wow, Howard Schultz peeked out of his bubble long enough to notice the rancorous division in America.  He has no idea that much of this is by design.  With Americans at war with each other, it’s much easier for government to grab more of our freedoms from us.

The Starbucks CEO has issued a call for civility.  We’re supposed to all get together and heal now.

Howard, how about healing your barristas’ salaries a bit.  They’re nowhere near averaging that magical $15 dollars an hour. 😉

Outside of the government funded rent-a-mobs stirring up hatred among Americans, there won’t ever be unity while Americans disagree on whether it’s OK to usurp and embezzle, as Washington DC does, kill babies and sell their parts, as Planned Parenthood does,  or groom little kids for sex, as our government does.

Which set of “values” would you be espousing, Howard?

Trump Tripped up on Abortion

~ Pharmer

Standard operating procedure for the left is to tangle up a Republican candidate on the issue of abortion.  Most people don’t think deeply about this issue, because they’re too busy with other things, or they Want to be too busy.  Taking a stand on abortion causes cognitive dissonance for those who support it, and a social cost for those who actively oppose it. It’s easier to be a “moderate” and try not to think about it at all.   Trump is the latest guy to get tangled in the web, by none other than “Chrissie” Matthews.  Trump had recently declared himself to be more pro-life, rather than the “moderate” that he used to be.  Obviously he hasn’t spent a long time thinking about what abortion is, and what causes it.  Now he’s having to walk back a statement about whether or not there should be some kind of punishment for women who abort.

One interesting thing is that a woman does get punished if she self aborts or purposely does something that causes harm to her unborn baby.  No one seems to be fighting against those laws and policies.
The main problem with trying to invent a means to “punish” the woman who gets an abortion is that most of these abortions involve coercion from outside.   This can also apply to the “self abortions”.
Trump lost it with Matthews due to his general ignorance of the coercion that accompanies most abortions.

The RNC is currently planning to support Hillary over Trump or Cruz, if either of those two is able to get enough delegate support in the primary.  This will assure our downhill slide into  government controlled everything.
Expect only an increase in abortion coercion as the government joins in.   This is part and parcel of government run health care.  Once the health care workers are required to participate, forcing abortions on women is not far behind.
