The Liberal Conscience

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


In my own town, an (unnamed) woman is suing after she lost 80% of her blood volume do to a botched abortion at Planned Parenthood. She said that the procedure was causing her excruciating pain, and that she begged the doctor to stop the abortion. They proceeded anyway, holding her down and telling her that they could not stop now. She later collapsed in the clinic’s recover room, and nearly died. An emergency hysterectomy was required to save her life. When we argue for an absolute end to abortion, liberal advocates often counter that the world is already filled with unwanted, uncared-for, starving and abused children. They ask me… if abortions are taken away, who will have to care and pay for these children. Will I personally adopt a couple hundred of them, and if not then I should just shut up because I am a hypocrite. Yikes! This is a real conversation, which occurs all too often.

Then we must discuss the population explosion in starving, third world countries. Liberals applaud Liberservatives such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. The two wealthiest men in the world are very generous, and they are trying to solve third world problems.

Along with their laudable efforts to feed hungry people, educate the uneducated, and vaccinate against disease, they also are concerned with reproductive healthcare. Such efforts go beyond contraceptives and pre-natal care; however, in that the availability of abortion services is considered a critical component. Critical, that is, to controlling an out of control birth rate, which further strains the meager resources of these poor nations. Due to the elimination of certain predator species, populations of prey animals, such as deer can literally explode. When this happens, food supplies are strained and unnecessary suffering occurs. Wildlife management services will sometimes announce a special culling, to reduce the population of those animals.

Wow… I guess, sometimes Liberals and Liberservatives do learn from real science. They are taking care of our human species by culling the burdensome and the unwanted. Maybe abortion industry leaders would do well, by simply changing the word from abortion to culling.

The dictionary says… Culling is the removal or rejection of members or parts from (a herd for example). A culling is also a noun, meaning something that is picked out from others, especially something rejected because of inferior quality.

I just cannot get my arms around the culling of unwanted human babies. It bothers my sensibilities to no end, but then… the Liberal’s conscience works somewhat differently than mine. How about yours?

Remember
Today, nearly 24 million (eight percent) of our countrymen are veterans. Of those, 33 percent served in Vietnam, 18 percent in the Gulf War, 14 percent in WWII and 13 percent in Korea. About three percent served in Iraq and Afghanistan and other counter-terrorism theaters. More than 25 percent of those veterans suffer some disability.

Please pause with us at 1100 EST this Sunday to pray for all our veterans.

Another subject please
I've decided that if you write an article and you want the "hits" of all "hits" for the day...well, just write an article on Abortion! Sorry, I've just had the whole issue!!! Enough already!
