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.
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.

NHS director dies after operation is cancelled four times at her own hospital | Mail Online.
Margaret Hutchon, former mayor, and former non executive board member of Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust, got the death panel decision- by-delay at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex.
Her followup stomach operation was postponed four times (9 months), and her nutritional status was said to be so poor, she did not survive long after the operation finally took place.
At age 72, perhaps she was low priority, according to the complete lives system for allocation of scarce medical resources.
Why Contact Luc Chatel? Because he Fired a Teacher for Presenting Abortion Debate.
Life Site News: History teacher in France fired for presenting abortion debate to class.
Philippe Isnard, a history teacher in the public school system of France has been fired for presenting the abortion debate to his 15 and 16 year old students, after complaints from post-abortive parents, abortion supporters and the decidedly pro-abort media.
Isnard noted that the kids are considered sexually mature at that age, have been exposed to abortion and contraception info, and have access to the morning after pill at school without parental consent. “If they’re considered old enough to be sexually active, they should also be made aware of the consequences of their actions,” he said.
Isnard is barred from employment at any publicly funded school, and all benefits and access to the social welfare system have been cut off. This is an example of the socialist government method of mind and speech control.

Baby Joseph Update, Ontario Canada
Although the medical records should be released to Joseph’s Maraachli’s parents upon request, according to law, London Health Sciences Centre in London, Ontario, is witholding them. This appears to be an effort to prevent the transport of Baby Joseph to a U.S. hospital where a tracheotomy can be performed.
Health care professionals are standing by and donated medical equipment is available to manage the difficult condition of Baby Joseph which appears to be far beyond the capabilities and fiscal reach of Ontario, Canada. (This is the kind of health care system intended for the U.S., under Obamacare).
According to advocates, the only thing standing in the way of providing for home care for Baby Joseph is this withholding of medical records. One wonders if legal experts at the hospital are combing the medical records for any improprieties before passing them on in this very public case.
Canadians Shopping in U.S. for Bargain Medical Prices
Canadians buy U.S. health care as weak economy pushes down prices – The Globe and Mail.
Wait times and availability of health care has long been sending Canadians southward to the U.S. for care. This migration is increasing due to economic downturns and new bargain rates for medical procedures. U.S. health facilities are actually negotiating with Canadian health care brokers and matching prices.
This state of affairs has sent people of more moderate means into the U.S. health care market for such things as joint replacements and cardiac procedures.
Let’s hope that a private system can remain in place for those who think their health is worth the money.
What About the Tracheostomy for Baby Joseph?
It’s good to juxtapose some lay-person friendly medical info up with the hot button pro-life issues of the day. So…. if you want to learn about tracheostomies for babies, and trach care at home, read a long term internet resource put up by the Bissell family.
A London Ontario hospital is holding a baby, Joseph Maarachli, on a ventilator, and has been refusing to do a tracheotomy so the boy can be taken home to be with his family. He suffers from a neurodegenerative disease which will take his life.
His family already knows the drill…… they previously lost a child to this problem. She had undergone a tracheotomy procedure, and was allowed to die at home.
This time, it appears that the Canadians are clamping down with the cost containment. The tracheostomy is “not indicated” for a patient with this kind of terminal disease, although it used to be allowed. Apparently the money has gotten tighter up there, with that socialized medicine system.
Which do you think is worse for baby Joseph?….. intubated on a ventilator in the hospital, or a tracheostomy and vent at home? With all the publicity, security and legal intervention, he’s in limbo on the former. No secrets on where the Daily Mail reporter stands on this issue.
Judge strikes down healthcare reform law | Reuters
Judge strikes down healthcare reform law | Reuters.
In Florida, the U.S. District Court Judge, Roger Vinson, struck down Obamacare as unconstitutional.
This ruling is broader than the previous decision (Richmond Virginia Federal District Court) marking the provision to force citizens to purchase insurance as unconstitutional. Also the list of plaintiffs in this case include about half of the states, so that this decision has more influence.
Judge Vinson did not stay his ruling, so that it has influence even while the inevitable appeals by the Obama administration take place.This (HOPEFULLY) will cork up the preliminary measures leading up to full implementation of the debacle in 2014.
