According to the Bible, Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. Senator Ben Nelson's price
was considerably higher, but his sell-out just as ignoble.. The Nebraska Democrat who threatened a veto
over the pernissive language in Harry Reid's healthcare reform bill that would have allowed massive
expansion of the federal funding of abortion finally acquiesced to fancy language that still allows federally
subsidized insurance plans to offer the procedure. For his cave-in he got several hundred million dollars in
special help for Medicaid hospitals in his home state. Another day, another dirty Democrat deal.
It has been revolting to listen as Senate abortion queens Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Barbara Mikulski (D-MD)
and Patty Murray (D-WA) ramble on about women's "reproductive healthcare." Reproductive healthcare
is the euphemism they use instaed of "abortion" or "killing babies," both of which are too revolting for
their delicate sensibilities and inflammatory for the American public, a majority of which disapproves of
the practice completely, let alone the use of public funds to pay for it.
Nelson's purchased vote gives Reid the sixty he needs to pass the bill in the Senate. Then it will go to
the conference committee for reconciliation with the House bill that contains the "Stupak language," wording
introduced by Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI)to make any funding of abortion with public money illegal. House liberals
have vowed to strip out that language in conference, and if they do and it goes back to the House without the provison,
Stupak has promsed that he and at least fifteen others will vote against final passage. We'll see whether he has the
courage of hisconvictions, or whether millions more of our taxpayer dollars will be used by Barack Obama's Abortion
Administration to buy him off too.
As disingenuous as the "reproductive healthcare" euphemism is, all the prattle about a woman's freedom
to choose is no less nauseating.. Why can't women exercise their "freedom of choice" not to have unprotected sex
if they don't want to get pregnant? Why must the innocent unborn pay for their thoughtless stupidity and sexual
irresponsibility?
Unless Bart Stupak and his associates stand their ground in the House, there is little those of moral conscience
can do to stop this baby-killing juggernaut engineered by the Abortionist-In-Chief, Barack Obama. Some day
he and God will have a chat about that, and we'll see what he's "on the cusp of" then, Many of us who consider
ourselves patriots have never even thought about cheating on our taxes. But when the government wantonly
and intentionally expresses its intent to use our tax dollars for such an obscenely immoral practice, some of us
just may think again. In 2012 we can tell the arrogant oaf in the oval office just where he can stick his "historic"
healthcare reform.
