</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The pro-abortion health care bill President Barack Obama signed received a major blow on Tuesday from voters in Missouri.

He is responsible for the Hyde Amendment which bans all Federal Funding of Abortion. Until now. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now thanks to another so called Catholic politician, Bart Stupak, federal funds will be used to fund abortions. Federal funding of $160 million for a so called "high risk" program will be disbursed from Obamacare to PA abortions. <br />
<br />
Though Stupak's support for Obamacare was based on an executive order which supposedly banned the funding of abortions, pro-lifers knew it wasn't real, just a paper promise which has already been broken. <br />
<br />
Life Site News says, <br />
<blockquote>"Although an earlier version of the health care legislation prevented federal funds from subsidizing abortion, that protection was not included in the bill signed into law. Although the president's Executive Order regarding funding for abortion was touted as the solution, the White House later admitted the Order simply "reiterated" what was already in the bill. Nonetheless, the mainstream media continues to portray the Executive Order as having effectively blocked federal funds for abortion."</blockquote><br />
<br />
States may opt into this high risk pool which denies that it pays for elective abortions, but fails to define elective. It seems that the only abortions which won't be covered is sex selection abortions. IF the woman says that is why she is seeking abortion. My guess is that counselors will cleverly guide women into saying the right things to get their free abortions. Just like they do in Lila Rose's undercover films at Planned Parenthood, when minors are coached to cover up for statutory rape. <br />
<blockquote><br />
As a result, "Under the Rendell-Sebelius plan, federal funds will subsidize coverage of abortion performed for any reason, except sex selection," said NRLC's Johnson. "The Pennsylvania proposal conspicuously lacks language that would prevent funding of abortions performed as a method of birth control or for any other reason, except sex selection - and the Obama Administration has now approved this." </blockquote><br />
Don't be fooled by the coverup. If you live in the USA and pay taxes, they are about to go up. When they do, you can be sure that some of that money will be killing babies in Pennsylvania. Thanks to a Catholic politican and Catholic nuns, Sr Carol Keehan and her liberal cohorts who signed the pro-Obamacare petition. <br />
<br />
Baby killing made possible by Catholics. Shame on us! <br />
<br />
Thankfully Archbishop Burke has been appointed to the Congregation for Divine Worship. This is the Vatican Office which will decide who may receive Communion. I would suggest to His Excellency that the beforementioned Catholics be first on his list of whom to bar from Communion. <br />

It takes no legal scholar to see this, but a vigorous effort was made to make it seem so. Why? Because our culture of death cannot exist without rhetoric to cloud straightforward issues. Terri Schindler Schiavo was not dying or brain-dead and she wasn't on any kind of life support. Her nutritional needs were being met with the assistance of caregivers, no differently than infants are nursed or toddlers and elderly might be spoon-fed. Despite this, judges, politicians and pundits bent over backward to paint her unworthy of life. Beholden to the all-powerful abortion lobby, they rushed to the cause of an adulterous, impatient and greedy husband who wanted her dead and forgotten.<br /><br />Indeed, the battle for Terri’s life proved especially nerve-racking for the abortion lobby, its champions in the media and its minions in government. Despite the unqualified success of having created a massive legal altar upon which tens of millions of unborn had been slaughtered, these engineers of industrialized death were well aware of its shaky foundation. So they trivialized, derided, even vilified a disabled woman lying in a Florida nursing home. After all, any legislative action or judicial decision to reinsert her feeding tube might have been viewed as validating her life. And that might have led to validating life in a broader context.<br /><br />Perhaps none of this should come as a surprise. Even before Roe v. Wade, our society had begun disintegrating, devolving toward a loose association of self-centered individuals who tolerate others only to the extent they prove useful. Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland personifies this utilitarian attitude; late last year, she declared abortion "preventive health care." And thanks to the Democrat majority in Congress, Mikulski's diabolic definition is included in their new health care law, permitting anti-life bureaucrats like Health & Human Services boss Kathleen Sebelius to shunt billions to "community health centers" like Planned Parenthood and other purveyors of contraception and abortion.<br /><br />In the long run, this means fewer and fewer taxpayers and ever deeper cuts in government services. So, who will future Democrats find to pay for their programs? The answer is clear: no one. Rather than increase revenues, they'll decrease expenditures. For Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and like-minded politicians, killing is once again the answer. Just like they've sold abortion to generations indoctrinated in women's rights, they'll sell euthanasia to a shrinking electorate saddled with trillions in debt and a graying population of unproductive consumers. Just as "reproductive health care" became a euphemism for decapitating children in utero, "geriatric health care" will become the polite term for smothering grandparents in bed. All that's needed is to codify it, as some states have begun doing. And as the Catholic bishops and other observers have pointed out, ObamaCare lays the groundwork for it on the federal level.<br /><br />If ObamaCare is ever fully implemented, it should come as no surprise to many voters when the fate Terri suffered becomes their final reward for having supported America's party of death.<br /><br />What goes around does, indeed, come around.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253667256391738235.post-58205945768984943002010-03-30T16:30:00.000-05:002010-03-30T16:30:09.228-05:00Obama: What a difference a year Makes!Michael Voris discusses Obama's Catholic plan and those in the Church who work for him.<br />

<br />
I have to admit now that I was a little concerned about whether Stupak would stand strong in the midst of the adversity, but he obviously caved into the pressures of the Obama administration. Some are calling him Judas, which seems to be a very accurate description.<br />
<br />
I am not as concerned about Obamacare passing as I thought I would be because I know that in the end, God is victorious. I was disappointed that this bill passed, but not outraged. God always has a plan and will provide a way out when we are faced with dilemmas or trials that seem overwhelming.<br />
<br />
I believe that this bill will eventually die on the vine. The Republicans, Libertarians, and Independents who are elected into office in November will repeal this. If they are unable to repeal the whole thing, they'll try to reverse much of it via amendments to other legislation they'll be considering. Already, 37 states are in the process of filing lawsuits claiming that it is unconstitutional. Where will the money come from to pay for this? California and New York are already bankrupt! Practically every state is cutting funds for necessities such as education, mental health, etc. as it is. In the next presidential election, I can see everything Obama has done being reversed. The people of this country will be so sick of him by them that his Republican/Independent opponent will win by a landslide!<br />
<br />
We have been persistent in prayer and will continue to pray and act to see that the ridiculous bill is reversed and God will act -- in His time -- not ours.Jean Heimannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15337901330501175087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253667256391738235.post-74624348016302526842010-03-21T15:16:00.002-05:002010-03-21T15:24:12.676-05:00Stupak caves into pressure; will vote YES on health careBart Stupak is giving in to pressure and voting YES to the health care bill, he says he reached an agreement with Obama who will issue an executive order to forbid federal funds being used for abortion, and provide conscience protection for health care workers. I thought that Obama said there was NO abortion funding in the bill. Shows you how reliable his word is.<br />
<br />
This executive order is rescindable, and may be declared unconstitutional. It is meaningless.This is a tragedy, Bart Stupak was our last hope to defeat this vote. He is starting to repeat the Democratic talking points that the funds for pregnant women will prevent abortions. It may prevent some, but not as many as the bill will pay for, after Obama goes back on his word.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253667256391738235.post-257736423322175182010-03-21T00:24:00.000-05:002010-03-21T00:24:27.045-05:00About Those Fake Catholic Obamacare Endorsers...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP8SV-eJQulfxdvlqOmah5Wcq9OJ5S2rX4mWzDYGIJKmH1gs9Te37VV51NHSLAI1othx2vbrcwY609nuqErPuI61UeNUZALVr0PfT-dwdhnbb7jml0sNrNUHCqGwuObrDDq5yOQeZnKt8Y/s1600-h/You+can%27t+be+Catholic+and+pro-abortion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP8SV-eJQulfxdvlqOmah5Wcq9OJ5S2rX4mWzDYGIJKmH1gs9Te37VV51NHSLAI1othx2vbrcwY609nuqErPuI61UeNUZALVr0PfT-dwdhnbb7jml0sNrNUHCqGwuObrDDq5yOQeZnKt8Y/s320/You+can%27t+be+Catholic+and+pro-abortion.jpg" /></a></div> Some fascinating and useful information noted by <a href="http://catholickey.blogspot.com/2010/03/some-useful-reminders-about-perfidious.html">The Catholic Key Blog</a>:<br />

Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, among the most strident and unabashed leaders of America's culture of death, claimed that abortion is "preventive health care." When I read her remark, this cartoon popped instantly to mind.<br /><br />In Mikulski's dark and twisted world, abortion is a panacea not just for children, but for parents. No more burdensome daycare costs, monotonous soccer matches, cacophonous piano recitals, gratuitous orthodontist bills, skyrocketing tuition payments. And thanks to the Democrat majority in the US Senate, Mikulski's diabolic definition of preventive medicine is included in their health care bill, giving lackeys like anti-life Health & Human Services boss Kathleen Sebelius the power to send billions to "community health centers" like Planned Parenthood.<br /><br />In the long run, this means fewer and fewer taxpayers and ever deeper cuts in entitlements like Social Security and the Democrats' health care travesty. But therein lies the lynchpin of socialized medicine. If ObamaCare becomes law, it should come as no surprise to aging voters that there exists a post-natal analogue of abortion. And whether it's called palliative care, cost containment, death with dignity or some other innocuous term, many will find that euthanasia is their reward for having supported America's party of death.<br /><br />What goes around does, indeed, come around.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253667256391738235.post-42255998731417213622010-03-20T10:09:00.000-05:002010-03-20T10:09:00.429-05:00Obamacare Gives $11 Billion to Fund Abortion <span>Right to Life of Central California Executive Director Jonathan Keller explains how the current health care "reform" legislation pending before Congress provides $11 billion in new funding for "community health groups" like Planned Parenthood to perform abortions. </span><br />

Father, In Jesus' Most Holy and Precious Name, we humbly ask that You step in and intervene at this most critical juncture in our nation's history.<br />
<br />
Father, it was YOU who gave our Founding Fathers the wisdom and guidance to assert that our nation would be one nation under GOD, with liberty and justice for all. Our nation's founding documents state that it is from YOU that we receive the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness NOT our federal government.<br />
<br />
Father, please stop this 'healthcare' legislation dead in its tracks.<br />
Please frustrate the plotting of the shrewd who seek to alter our<br />
nation into a socialist democracy so that their hands cannot perform<br />
their enterprise or attain success. (Job 5:12-13).<br />
<br />
Expose to the light of day the plans of the crafty.<br />
Allow confusion and chaos to reign in their meetings this weekend<br />
and into next week so that no path to reconciliation may be achieved.<br />
Please allow division and rivalry to thwart the plans of those who seek<br />
to override the will of the citizens of the United States so that this entire endeavor fails in utter futility.<br />
<br />
Please awaken our citizenry to what is at stake.<br />
Father, we also humbly ask that you will bring good out of this<br />
terrible situation. Please graciously use this whole experience to<br />
draw people to Yourself. In Jesus' name we pray for revival to spread<br />
across our land and to heal our nation so that we once again seek our<br />
liberty from You and not from a government of men.<br />
<br />
Thank you for graciously hearing our prayers on behalf of our nation<br />
and our fellow citizens.<br />
<br />
In Jesus' Most Holy and Powerful Name We Pray. Amen.<br />
<br />
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.<br />
<br />
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.Jean Heimannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15337901330501175087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253667256391738235.post-9073708119735588352010-03-19T14:51:00.002-05:002010-03-19T14:54:42.511-05:00Catholics against Catholics on life issues is NOT news!<strong>Pro-life blogger Jill Stanek is right. Its a holy war.</strong><br />
<strong>Nancy Pelosi is praying to St Joseph to help her pass the biggest expansion of abortion since Roe v Wade. Bishops are pitted against dissendent sisters, groups of nuns oppose one another, and we won't even get into the Catholic politicians!</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
Somehow those of us Catholics who adhere to Church teachings on life issues must get through to the members of Network and the Catholic Health Association that this health care bill cannot be supported by Catholics. <br />
<br />
For the good of their souls, and of the poor. Yes, the poor, whose children's lives are at stake. Ask abortion clinic escort Dominican Sr Donna Quinn. No amount of health benefits for the poor can eradicate the fact that poor minority women are the ones who have the most abortions. Since the sisters of etwork say they work with the poor, they must know that. Or has their pro-abortion agenda blinded them to the plight of those they claim to serve?<br />
<br />
Many of these women religious are high in postions of power in the Church. They, like CHA CEO Sr Carol Keehan who draws a salary of over $400K (she claims its donated to her order, but that is still a lot of money for an order with vows of poverty) They have become too involved in the status quo and those who fear that Catholic hospitals will be forced by this health care bill to perform abortions are a bit late; they already do. <br />
<br />
In Catholic hospitals in Connecticut, the abortifacient drug Plan B is distributed to rape victims. Rep Chris Coutu (R) was part of an effort to keep CT Catholic hospitals from being forced into providing the drug which works by preventing an embryo from implanting in the uterus, but he told me that "the bishops undercut our efforts" by accepting this illicit procedure. Remember; they had a way out and chose to allow an abortifacient anyway. <a href="http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/connecticut_bishops_urged_to_reverse_plan_b_decision/">http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/connecticut_bishops_urged_to_reverse_plan_b_decision/</a><br />
<br />
<br />
In London Ontario, Catholic priest and chief ehticist for the diocese, Fr Michael Prieur, advises women to undergo so called 'early induction' abortions.. These take place when pregnant mothers have their labor induced early to give birth tobabies before the age of viability (22 weeks).Allegedly, the babies for whom Fr Prieur allows abortions have fatal anomalies, in other words, they would not live long outside the womb. Oh, its made so pretty, they have special rooms where the dying child, gasping for air, but given none, is photographed, hand and foot printed and even dressed up in a gown for a family photo. This is a comfort to famlies whose child with a fatal anomaly is born naturally, and I wish I had this comfort with my three miscarriages, but when the parents and the doctors have conspired to kill the 'unacceptable' child then dare to dress it up, it is an outrage, when it is proposed by a Catholic priest it is SCANDALOUS. Read the Life Site News story here.<br />

<br />
<br />
Is it any accident that Canada, where there has been socialized medicine for 30 years is proposing induced abortion for expensive disabled babies? In September, with Healthcare for Gunner, I spent two days with three Canadians who came to the US to warn us that socialized medicine is dangerous for the disabled, especially little Annie Farlow with Trisomy 18, who at months of age, was in a Canadian hospital and given a fatal dose of morphine without her parents' knowlege. Barb to her credit, has dedicated years of her life to pursue justice for Annie. She has encountered nothing but stonewalling and heartless bureaucrats. The most recent report from thE Coroner said that since Annie (a disabled non-verbal toddler) couldn't make her wishes known, the doctors didn't know she wanted to live. Oh really. This is socialized healthcare at its best, saving the taxpayer money by eliminating expensive patients. <br />
<br />
<br />
And then there's Terri Schiavo, whose bishop sent a priest to her hearing to remove the feeding tube to testify on behalf of her adulterous husband Michael Schiavo who wanted Terri dead, to spend her lawsuit money with his new woman and children. Bishop Lynch even had the temerity to blame Terri's devoted family for the 'lack of peace' surrounding the nationwide story. They had offered, at no cost to Michael, to take their daughter home and care for her. He wanted her dead, and the bishop took his side. Not a week after Terri's misrable dehydration/starvation murder, our beloved Pope John Paul II died with a feeding tube. I am convinced he had the tube inserted, not because he needed one (the Church does not insist on forcing burdensome food and water on those actively dyiing, as he was) but to tell American that Terri a young woman with years of life ahead of her should have had one. <br />
<br />
Don't forge to commemorate the anniversay of her murder which will be commemorated by a concert on March 31. See the Terri foundation website for details.<br />

<br />
<strong>These leaders of the Church have been scadalously disobedient to the 15 year old encyclical Evangelium Vitae, and now, through the public war over health care, the public is becoming ever more painfully aware of what has scandalized the faithful.</strong> So, to those of you who are shocked by the contentitous divide in the Church over abortion, and end of life issues for the frail and disabled, I say, "where have you been?"<br />
<br />
Important represnetatives of our Church have been betraying the teaching on life issues publicly for years. Now they are about to cash in big time on their shame. Catholic hospitals in the CHA will be on board with the rationing of care to the disabled and the elderly and abortion procedures mandated by Obamacare. <br />
<br />
Someday there will be a higher Court before whom those who have distorted Church teaching on life issues must appear. And no amount of backroom deals or arm-twisting will sway this Judge. <br />
<br />
May Almighty God have mercy on us. <br />

The Postal Service noticed that the stamp was not sticking to envelopes. This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>1. The stamp is in perfect order.</b><br />
<b>2. There is nothing wrong with the glue.</b><br />
<b>3. People are spitting on the wrong side. </b></blockquote>H/T: JoanJean Heimannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15337901330501175087noreply@blogger.com
