ObamCare Means Canadian Style Health Care Rationing

March 12, 2015 by Dylan Raines

President Obama and Nancy Pelosi hold the Canadian health care system up as a prototype for the United States. This video, produced by the Reason Foundation, the story of a Canadian women who waited three years for a hip replacement and finally went to the United States to get the care she needed. If the government takes over, Americans will be in the waiting room for years not hours.

Euthanasia Update

March 12, 2015 by Dylan Raines

“Learning through Killing”

The Dutch are the post-War leaders in the concept of intentionally killing those who are perceived to be, ‘lacking a quality life.’ While practitioners tend to hide behind the notion that one must ask, the government itself has chronicled many acts of unrequested euthanasia.

But instead of bringing a “Brave New World” of medical freedom and vibrant living it has created medical madness and confusion. Fear and abandonment are its fruit.

This is a forum for pro-life individuals from throughout the state to communicate, organize and educate their fellow prolifers.

Why the fuss on Obamacare and Abortion Funding?

March 12, 2015 by Dylan Raines

In the Health Care debate one issue always seems to bubble to the top.

Abortion funding.

Why is the abortion funding so important?

A June 2009 Guttmacher Institute (a pro-abortion research arm) commissioned a study that found that one in 4 that would seek a taxpayer-funded abortion don’t have one if funding is unavailable.

On August 19, 2009 — In a conference call with supporters, President Obama said that it is a “fabrication” to say that the legislation backed by the White House would result in “government funding of abortions,” and that this is “untrue.”

The President and his surrogates have continued that line.

Several weeks after his initial remarks, the house adopted the Capps amendment.
The committee, 30 – 28, approved it narrowly with most but not all Democrats voting in favor and no Republicans backing it.

The Capps amendment states that some abortions “shall” be covered by the “public option” plan, specifically those types of abortions that Congress allows to be covered under Medicaid, under the so-called “Hyde Amendment,” which has been attached regularly to appropriations bills for many years. These are abortions performed in cases or rape or incest, or to save the life of the mother.

As for other types of abortions, the Capps amendment leaves it to the secretary of Health and Human Services to decide whether or not they will be covered. It says, “Nothing in this Act shall be construed as preventing the public health insurance option from providing” abortion services that would not be legal for Medicaid coverage.

The Capps Amendment MANDATES that the public plan cover any Medicaid-fundable abortions, and AUTHORIZES the secretary to cover all other abortions. From day one, she [Secretary Kathleen Sebelius] is authorized to pay for them all. “

While running for President Barack Obama told Planned Parenthood “In my mind, Reproductive care is essential care. It is basic care, and so it is at the center and at the heart of the plan that I propose.” He stated that, “What we’re doing is to say that we’re gonna set up a public plan that all persons and all women can access if they don’t have health insurance. It’ll be a plan that will provide all essential services, including reproductive services.”

The record on Life for this administration is clear. The president overturned the prohibition on taxpayer funding being used to support the abortion industry overseas, reaffirmed support for the tragic Roe vs. Wade decision and appointed dozens of pro-abortion activists and lawmakers to key posts in his administration.

One of them is the Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, who as a Governor vetoed a ban on late term abortions.

The House bill gives HER the power to decide about abortion funding.

Finally there is one way to know for sure that abortion is provided for in the Health care bill. The amendments to specifically exclude it were defeated.

On July 30, Rep. Joseph Pitts (R-PA), with co-sponsors Reps. Stupak and Roy Blunt (R-MO), offered an amendment that excluded any mandate for abortion coverage, except to save the mother’s life and in cases of rape or incest. At first the Pitts amendment passed, 31-yes, 27-no. Rep. Waxman moved to reconsider the vote. On the second vote, the Pitts Amendment failed, 29-yes, 30-no.

Rep. Stupak, with co-sponsor Rep. Pitts, offered an amendment specifying that no funds authorized by the Act may be used to pay for any abortion or cover the costs of any health plan that includes coverage for abortion, except to save the mother’s life or in cases of rape or incest. The Stupak amendment failed, 27-yes, 31-no.

If funding and subsidies aren’t in the plan, why won’t Congress vote to say just that?

Did you hear the one about Obama and the Rabbis?

March 12, 2015 by Dylan Raines

So the President gets on the phone with a bunch of Rabbis. He tosses some Hebrew greetings. He then tells them the purpose of his call, “Government partners with God in Life and Death decisions.”

Not a joke.

19 Pro-Life Democrats Oppose Obama Care With Abortion In It

March 12, 2015 by Dylan Raines

Nineteen Congressional Democrats have signed a letter declaring opposition to a national health care plan mandate that includes abortion directly or indirectly.

Part of the letter states:

“We cannot support any health care reform proposal unless it explicitly excludes abortion from the scope of any government-defined or subsidized health insurance plan,”

It is a start.

Nixon, Margaret Sanger and Racism

March 12, 2015 by Dylan Raines

I couldn’t help but notice the articles about more tapes of former President Richard m. Nixon being released to the public. One little tidbit in there showed me hoe deep the Eugenics movement has penetrated the thought process of Americans.

In the tape, on the day after the notorious Roe vs. Wade decision. Nixon revelaed  his oppostion to abortion EXCEPT in the cases of inter-racial babies and rape. Inter racial babies?

How Margaret Sanger of him. Margaret Sanger a proud advocate of eugenics and founder of Planned Parenthood. She “of course was a racist . These are her words about the “negro project”:

“We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population…..” Dec. 10, 1939

But this attitude can be found today. In 1980, Edward Allred, the founder of California’s largest chain of abortion clinics told the San Diego Union Tribune; “I’d set up a clinic in Mexico for free if I could. Maybe one in Calexico would help. The survival of our society could be at stake.”

Nixon, Sanger, Allred and racism are all part of the abortion debate. For too long too many have used abortion as a way to get at miniorities and people different from themselves. All life is precious regardless of color.

“Public” Option in Healthcare Means No Option

March 12, 2015 by Dylan Raines

President Obama and the Congress are running as fast as they can to nationalize the health insurance industry. There has been little focus on the high cost government health care can cost. It is more than money, it can be your life.

Just yesterday, the Senate Committee looking at the plan rejected an anti-health care rationing amendment. See dead people are cheap to treat.

Sunday’s Pasadena Star-News ran a wonderful opinion piece ( by me)showing the costs of more life threatening bureaucracy being placed in charge of Life and death decisions.

What Would Herod Think?

March 12, 2015 by Dylan Raines

People somewhat familiar with the Bible know the story of King Herod. King Herod was so afraid of the baby Jesus that he ordered all boys under two slaughtered.

In California and other parts of the world it is just the opposite. Science is being used to identify and the kill baby girls. To be honest, some culture value male children over female children and now has a way to make sure.

One study found a dramatic increase in the difference in boys and girls in second, third and fourth born children of Indian birth in California. He estimated a gender selective rate of around 10%.

We have our own slaughter going on right here. The target is little girls. What would Herod think?
