Sending Health Care Back to the Dark Ages

~ Pharmer

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.

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

~ Pharmer

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.

 

Obama Has Irritated Speaker Boehner

~ Pharmer

“This attack by the federal government on religious freedom in our country cannot stand, and will not stand,” Boehner, a Catholic and Ohio Republican, said in a rare floor speech,  says  The Blaze.

Let’s see if the House and Senate are able to Override the Obamacare birth control mandate.   Pharmer suspects house can do it, but the Senate had 26 freaks who directly support Obama’s mandate for religious institutions to cover birth control, abortive drugs and sterilizations in their health insurance plans.

The government plan is to have Christians pay the STATIST  DHIMMI  TAX in the form of fines, as a result of being forced to drop health care coverage for their employees.     Interestingly, adherent Muslims may be subjected  to this same situation with respect to  the state, but  (if we compare their response in  Europe)  are much LESS likely to tolerate dhimmitude to the state.

The top linked article mentions that Massachusetts has already been forcing religiously affiliated hospitals  to give out the morning after pill to rape victims, from the time that Romney was governor.    Romney says he vetoed the bill, though he supported the morning after pill for rape victims.

*153* Bishops (Over 80% of Dioceses) Have Spoken Out Against Obama/HHS Mandate | CatholicVote.org

Updated: *153* Bishops (Over 80% of Dioceses) Have Spoken Out Against Obama/HHS Mandate | CatholicVote.org.

At the above link a list is being compiled of Bishops statements protesting Obama’s health care mandate  for religiously affiliated employers to cover birth control, abortifacients and sterilizations.

The bolded links on the list lead to letters which were to be read at every parish in the diocese.   As of Sunday there are 153 out of  183 diocesan leaders who have made statements.

The Assembly of Orthodox Bishops has also made a statement representing all 53 of their U.S. Bishops, which protests the action of Obama and his HHS.

Expect more statements to be coming out as some of the Bishops get a reminder of their job function from the Vatican.

As a result of prior decisions to go  along with the Government and accept grants from them,  the Bishops now find themselves, and the society in which they live, in dire straits.  Says Francis Cardinal George, Archbishop of Chicago:   “I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square.”

Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 2012

Senator Marco  Rubio  (R) FL  has introduced a bill to  reverse the Obamacare mandate that religious health care and other institutions be forced to cover contraception, abortifacient drugs and sterilizations.    Above is a link to the text.

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.

It’s a good start, though.

U.S. Army Issues Gag Order to Catholic Chaplains

~ Pharmer

U.S. Army Silences Catholic Chaplains From Speaking out Against Obama Admin Ruling | TheBlaze.com.

Some of the Chaplains read  Catholic Archbishop Timothy Broglio’s  letter objecting to Obama’s insistence that religious institutions pay for birth control ( hormones, abortifacients and sterilizations, etc. ) for their employees, despite a  GAG ORDER  from the Army Office of the Chief of Chaplains.

These chaplains  were invited to contact the military archdiocesan attorney to obtain free assistance from  public interest law firms which would defend their religious freedom and first amendment rights.

Prayers for the success of the military chaplains who  took the initiative to defy the Army’s unconstitutional gag order.

*Pharmer will see if the letter will be read at her parish this Sunday.

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.

Welcome to Dhimmitude, Pro-lifers

~ Pharmer

Obama admin: birth control mandate is final; bishops vow to fight | LifeSiteNews.com.

“In effect, the president is saying we have a year to figure out how to violate our consciences,” said Archbishop Timothy Dolan.

From the statement above, you think the U.S. Catholic Bishops have a plan for dealing with their most favored President Obama?

There’s a debate over at JillStanek.com to see if people think the Bishops will stand up to Obama, or will they begin covering the pill, or will the religiously affiliated institutions  pay the Dhimmi tax in order to be allowed not to cover the birth control pill.

The Dhimmi tax is the amount of money that religiously run hospitals would have to pay for each employee, in order to stop health care coverage for them.  This tax will start out at two thousand dollars per individual, and increase from there.

In many Muslim governed  countries,  people of other religions have to pay additional taxes in order to be permitted to live in the country and practice their own religion.     This is a perfectly good word to apply to the new relationship of pro-life religions to the dominant statist religion, which is coercing religiously run institutions to contribute to the  state program of reproductive control.

I am wondering what will happen when the Muslim physicians, pharmacists and nurses  decide that they have a problem with the coercive policies of the Obama administration,  as have the Muslim health caregivers in Europe.
The reason that Europe is allowing some religious dissent to the abortion culture, is not because of the Christians.  They already gave in.   It’s mostly the Muslims who rolled the abortion coercion back a bit, by refusing to cooperate.  The governments have sufficient fear of the Muslims that they’re afraid to deny them  the freedom to not abort.
Sorry to say, there is a significant social drawback to turning the other cheek.
So far, it appears that the Bishops will eventually   do what they did in Canada…  let the government have its way, with minimal resistance.  Pharmer would like for this prediction to be wrong.

 

Health plans ordered to cover birth control without co-pays – The Hill’s Healthwatch

~ Pharmer

Obama care mandates include forcing the coverage of birth control without a copay.  This will include religiously affiliated employers, which will have to comply within a year, or drop their health care plans altogether.  This seems to have gotten the attention of the US. Conference of Catholic Bishops,  which had previously supported obamacare against the better judgment of the pro-lifers.   Of course  they “had to pass the bill before they could know what’s in it,” as Nancy Pelosi has told us.

This means by summer of 2013,  you might be looking for new health care coverage if  you are employed at a religiously run hospital or health care provider.   What is more likely is that these entities will begin coverage of birth control….. same as in Canada and other socialized medicine countries.

This Obamacare mandate reveals the  high interest of leftists in sex with kiddies, the main set of people who couldn’t afford those generic BC pills.

This also feeds into the abortion industry, as the kiddies are highly non-compliant with their birth control.

Half of unplanned pregnancies are in people who were on some kind of BC.

Dependence on birth control feeds the abortion industry, says the data from long term birth control researchers such as Anna Glasier.    None of the birth control modalities are nearly as reliable in real world situations as  the theoretical claims put forth by the industry.

Obama is taking care of his own.

Silver lining??? It preferentially reduces the reproduction rate of lefties.

Even so, this pro-lifer is not participating.
