Obama's Love Affair With Abortion

Posted by P.R.E.Z. on Saturday, February 28, 2009 12:00:00 AM
I don't understand the obsession that Obama has with abortion. It appears as if he's on a mission to systematically increase the mass slaughter of the unborn and he's willing to force medical professionals across the country to do it.

Conscience? We Don't Need No Stinking Conscience!

One of the last acts of the Bush administration was to pass a regulation that allowed doctors and health care professionals to refuse to perform abortions based on moral ramifications. A Health and Human Services (I just find that title ironic) announced that they will post their intentions and open a month long discussion on the issue from medical professionals around the nation as well as the public at large. That official did not want to be named because the notice had not been completed yet.

"It would be a horrible move. These regulations were a long time coming," said Tom McClusky, vice president at the Family Research Council. "What they seek to do is protect patients, nurses, doctors and other health care professionals from being forced to violate their consciences."

As always, it was the wording in the bill that is the bone of contention. Supporters said that is clarified federal policies and increased awareness to medical professionals about what they were allowed to do in keeping with their conscience. Opponents said it was too vague and argue that it would reduce access to health care services.

"I think it's a wonderful step," Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), co-chair of the Congressional Pro-Abortion...errr...Pro-Choice Caucus. She's introduced legislation to overturn the regulation.

"That rule was actually a poorly drafted last-minute attempt to, I think, restrict health care access and I think it would have had far-reaching and unintended consequences."

The White House released a statement saying Obama supports a "carefully crafted" conscience clause, not Bush's version. In other words, make it more difficult for doctors, nurses, and others, to refuse to perform abortions.

The Change Hasn't Changed

In my post Four Reasons To Have An Abortion, I laid out the facts as to why people have an abortion. None of them are reasons. All of them are excuses. More importantly, as a Christian (a real one), we should oppose this kind thing at every turn. The fact that this man supports such a heinous act and calls it "health care" should be a big red flag. The Bible is clear:
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20)

Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border. (Amos 1:13)
We have to stand against this, pray against this evil and be what God has called us to be: beacons of light in a land of darkness.

Get on the horn right now and start giving your representatives and senators a call. Email them and let them know that you oppose this.

Obama: "I Screwed Up."

Posted by P.R.E.Z. on Wednesday, February 04, 2009 12:00:00 AM
No one is perfect. We all know that. Yet, from the way Obama was lauded as the answer to all of America's woes during the 2008 Presidential Election, you would have thought he could do no wrong. Well, reality has hit Obama...and it's not pretty.

The past couple days has seen two of Obama's nominations, Tom Daschle and Nancy Killifer, back out due to tax troubles. This just adds insult to injury as Bill Richardson also stepped aside from his nomination amid a grand jury investigation over state contracts.

As far as Obama being a good judge of character, this should come as no surprise. Remember, this is the same man who went to Jeremiah Wright's church for twenty years and defended him though he's a racist. The same man who had a relationship, however ephemeral, with Bill Ayers, an admitted terrorist.

This really isn't a glowing gift he has here.

"I screwed up," Obama said repeatedly when his nominees backed out. "I'm frustrated with myself, with our team."

Already he's had to backtrack and say he's going to bring in a "new era of responsibility". But...you've only been in office for two weeks and you have to change already? Of course he does. Remember, his whole mantra was change.

So far, Obama's vision and leadership is tore up from the floor up. Even senator Dick Durbin of Illinois admitted that "It really sets us back a step."

What we're seeing is a slate of things to come. The scary thing is that these people are running the United States of America.

Lord...have mercy.

Nurse Suspended For Offering Prayer

Posted by P.R.E.Z. on Tuesday, February 03, 2009 12:00:00 AM
A nurse over in Great Britain is finding her job in jeopardy because she offered to pray for someone.

Caroline Petrie is facing disciplinary action because her employer, North Somerset Primary Care Trust, stated that she failed to show "personal and professional commitment to equality and diversity' when she offered to pray for an elderly woman.

Petrie has stated that she doesn't proselytize when she's on the job.

"I simply couldn't believe that I have been suspended over this," she told the London Telegraph. "I knew I hadn't done anything wrong. All I am trying to do is help my patients, many of whom want me to pray for them."

The woman was reportedly not offended. It had taken her by surprise and she was concerned it would offend others.

However, this was not the only time that Petrie had been disciplined for offering a prayer. She had offered a prayer card to an elderly male patient two months previous who had accepted it gladly. However, the caretaker of the man was not in support of the move.

"My concern is for the person as a whole, not just their health," she said. "I was told not to force my faith on anyone but I could respond if patients themselves brought up the subject [of religion]."

Petrie has contacted the Christian Legal Centre for representation, an organization that seeks to promote religious freedom.

"Caroline Petrie has been suspended pending an investigation into the matter," a spokesman for North Somerset Primary Care Trust told the Guardian. "She is a bank nurse and she has been told we will not be using her in this capacity until the outcome of our investigation is known"

"We always take any concerns raised by our patients most seriously and conscientiously investigate any matter of this nature brought to our attention, the spokesman continued. "We are always keen to be respectful of our patients' views and sensitivity as well as those of our staff."

If you want to express your concern over this, you can contact North Somerset Primary Care trust by emailing them at pals@nsomerset-pct.nhs.uk. Or keep up on the story at the Christian Legal Centre website.
