No to death panels. No to taxpayer funded abortion. No to national bankruptcy. No to Socialism. Thank God for the GOP. This Bill must bite the dust. Lobby Lobby Lobby.

I bind it with every bit of my christian spirit.

I imagine these will find it preferable to have a millstone tied about their respective necks and tossed into the sea rather than to come face to face with my living God.

How about this redstate….please investigate the claims that the ‘panels and coordinator for guiding our nations doctors in their pursuit of their business is already in place as authorized by the Stimulus bill, that no one read.

Bioethicist Ezekiel Emanuel fingerprints will be felt by everyone forced into the public option including us baby boomers living on our social security….yeah right, our social security…if it truly is/was, why did they piss it away?

What he does not say is that his side is restless and full of angst because voting for ObamaCare is a suicide misssion

Anything that passes this Congress will be tweeked in the future to include both abortion and illegals. It will just be an amendment to a “must pass” bill that can’t be filibustered.

Seriously, I never expected abortion not to be covered in any form of Democratic bill. So far, my expectations have been met. They do think we’re clueless and stupid and intend to keep us that way. Unfortunately for them, the internet is not cooperating with them.

Everything they do is about changing the word without changing the intent. I remember during one of Obama’s campaign interviews he said, “Words mean something.”

We now have a pocket dictionary’s worth of words that no longer mean what they used to mean, as the something they mean is whatever the Democrats want them to mean.

I would not be surprised though if the lower-level courts, stacked with Obama nominees, defy that precedent. The Supreme Court is now only a figurehead.

The Democrats’ “justification” is that the only way to remove funding would be to prohibit its coverage from any insurance anyone can get. If true, then they would only be acknowledging their complete, rather than partial, takeover of health care.

I don’t know about illegals but it will not matter much since they plan to legalize them before the bill takes full effect.

Ellsworth’s press secretary should know better than to proof read by spell checker only.

“Any House member who votes for the Pelosi rule is voting to establish a federal government insurance plan, the public option, that the bill explicitly authorizes to pay for all elective abortions. When a federal agency pays for abortions, that is federal funding of abortion in reality, whatever contrived labels Speaker Pelosi or her acolytes slap over it. The Ellsworth language is a political fig leaf made out of cellophane — it directs the federal Secretary of Health to hire a contractor to deliver to abortion providers the payments for elective abortions, payments that are explicitly authorized by the bill [on page 110]. This is a money-laundering scheme — a federally funded ‘bag man’ will deliver government funds to abortionists. This is federal funding of elective abortion.”

NRLC’s objections to the abortion-related provisions of H.R. 3962 are explained in detail in a letter sent to House members on November 2, posted here (or in PDF format, here).

[insert evil smirking grin seething sarcasm from its photons here]

The key element is the creation of a government obligation to a person. That element is clearly evident in the bill. Since under legal logic, the person has a protected right to abortion, and the government is now entangling itself in providing health care, the government therefore has an obligation to ensure people can engage in the protected civil right.

Please note that I whole-heartedly agree with you that on a common sense level this is absurd. I’m just saying that given the verbal jujitsu the court has engaged in to make words mean the opposite of their ordinary meaning when it comes to abortion, we need to anticipate it will do the same when (not if) a case calling for the government to pay for abortions or at least abortion coverage as part of the health care package comes before it.

I was watching O’Reilly this evening and he had George Stephanopolous on who said (paraphrase), “Americans want the government to do something…”.
This is the unshakable misconception in the brains of our would be masters. Most Americans in fact DON’tT want the government to do “something” but would prefer they do nothing at all except get out of our lives and out of our way.
Georgy boy unwittingly expressed the beltway mentality that they believe we need their help. How the Hell do we get it through their thick skulls that they are dead wrong?
