Protect Life Act HR 358 Has A Conscience Clause

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

H.R.358: Protect Life Act – U.S. Congress – OpenCongress.

Take a look at the actual bill.  The hysterical pro-aborts are whining that women will die on hospital steps because some hospitals don’t grind up babies in  utero, and suck out the chucks and juice.  Rather they keep the kid in there as long as the mom can sustain it,  deliver the kid early if the mom can’t,  and try to keep both the mom and kid alive. Pro aborts seem to passionately hate any legitimate medical intervention that doesn’t result in the kid’s death.  Otherwise why would it bother them that some people believe in preserving the mom’s life  without PURPOSELY  killing the kid?

NARAL finds it extremely offensive that some hospitals don’t grind up the kids instead of delivering them whole.

NARAL wants more dead kids, and wants you to pay for it.

Here’s the Non-descrimination language that has pro-aborts foaming at the mouth.

The Ideological Opponents Bow to Pharmer’s Correctness

Planned Parenthood: ‘Personhood’ Amendment a product of ‘radical anti-choice extremists’ | Florida Independent: News. Politics. Media.

“Stephanie Kunkel, executive director of the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, says her organization is taking the initiative “seriously,” pointing out that the amendment could lead to bans on birth control.”

Yes, the girls at planned unparenthood  acknowledge, after years of denial, the correctness of pharmacists who avoided dispensing various hormonal forms of birth control, in order to avoid involvment in killing humans- very early in development.

Recognizing that humanity is intrinsic, from the very start of development,  would cause BIRTH CONTROL PILLS to be outlawed, they fret.

“If passed, the result would not only ban abortion, but would go so far as to ban most common forms of birth control. … .”

Thank you for acknowledging that hormonal birth control can operate by   interceptive/abortive mechanisms,  GRRRLS.

Bishop revokes Phoenix hospital’s ‘Catholic’ status

Bishop revokes Phoenix hospital’s ‘Catholic’ status.

He actually did it.    Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted stripped St. Joseph’s Medical Center, in Phoenix  of its Catholic affiliation.  This came after a scandal in 2009, concerning a widely publicized abortion which took place there.   That issue had already been  addressed, but  St. Joseph’s affiliation with the Mercy Care Plan , which provides care through the Arizona  state medicaid program,  required it to offer contraceptive counseling and other services antithetical to Catholic teachings.   This contractual arrangement is said to be the tipping point to cause the dissolution of the Catholic affiliation

Mass may no longer be said at the hospital, and the Blessed Sacrament is to be removed from the Chapel.

Watch the changes which occur at St. Joseph’s   in the aftermath of this “divorce” from Church affiliation.    Will the hospital attempt to re-affiliate, or will it rely upon a closer relationship with the government for survival.  Certainly the loss of Catholic affiliation will affect private donations to the Medical Center.

Obama Admin Still Working to Rescind Conscience Rights on Abortion | LifeNews.com

Obama Admin Working to Rescind Conscience Rights on Abortion | LifeNews.com.

Obama began work to rescind Bush’s executive order and HHS regulations to protect the conscience rights of health care workers who refuse to kill their patients at the very beginning of life, immediately upon taking office.   He was so busy with his unconstitutional, health care debacle that this project has been in limbo.

Not to worry.  A physician shortage is integral to the rationing of care, and this can be exacerbated by denying conscience rights to those health care providers who refuse to kill in the practice of medicine.  Obama intends to  complete this project, having Health and Human Services rules promulgated  in early 2011.  Look for it.

Missouri Pro-Life Bill Protects Pharmacists Conscience Rights | LifeNews.com.

Missouri State Rep.  David Sater has introduced a conscience protection bill for pharmacists, who opt not to sell abortive drugs.

It is of course, opposed by Planned Parenthood, whose assessment of which drugs are abortive changes depending on the audience.

This bill is to address problems pharmacists have faced in the past for refusing to dispense drugs which end human life at its earliest stages.

Heather Williams, an adherent Baptist was fired in 2006 by Target in Missouri for refusing to dispense the morning after pill, a drug which can stop the implantation of an early human embryo, thereby killing it.

Timothy M. Dolan Elected Head of US Conference of Catholic Bishops

Timothy M. Dolan to Lead Catholic Bishops’ Conference – NYTimes.com.

From the leftist position of the New York Times, choosing Archbishop Dolan as president of the USCCB is a conservative move.

However,  Archbishop Dolan does not appear to be an  actual conservative.

A conservative would recognize that Obamacare would destroy the goose that laid the golden egg,  and that has heavily funded the charitable outreach of the Catholic church.

No mention is made of the obvious fact that Obamacare  will make  our elderly and disabled citizens SHOVEL READY.

Medicare denies more claims for treatment than any private insurer.    The idea that Obamacare will expand coverage while taking on more patients, wasting more money in administration, and driving out health care providers, is a total joke.

Archbishop Dolan is quoted by NYT:

“We should have been doing cartwheels” when the health care bill passed, he said, because the bishops had long supported expanding coverage. But he said the bishops could not endorse the legislation because they concluded there were “unborn babies that were in danger.”

If  that quote is accurate,  it would mean that he’s Lost in the Weeds on this issue.

Docs Offered to Abort Susan Boyle

~ Pharmer

Spotted over at Jill Stanek’s,  and this is definitely worth a push.

Quote from  an extensive autobiographical piece  at the Daily Mail:

My mother was 45 when I came along.

Having given birth to eight children over 23 years, she had been advised not to have any more. The doctors considered the danger so severe they offered a termination but that would have been unthinkable for my mother, a devout Catholic.

Read the rest of that article.  It’s long, but Susan Boyle is worth it.  Great singer, and definitely one of a kind.
