I have to say that the $1 fee for abortion reminds me a lot of what the Romans demanded of us: just offer a pinch of incense to the statue of Caesar. It's like they're daring us to defy them. It's going to seem SO EASY to just pay the extra dollar, rather than go without insurance and/or be fined and arrested for not buying Obamacare. It's just one little dollar, right? I think a lot of souls are going to be put into grave peril. Which is exactly why they did it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-4045590150451287142012-06-17T22:34:36.678-07:002012-06-17T22:34:36.678-07:00Lena, thanks for trying, lol!

There are interviews with her both on radio and TV explaining the nuances of the law and the abortion slush fund. She is an excellent lawyer, and she's done pro-life legal work, nationally and internationally, for decades. She knows what she's talking about: <br /><br />http://www.bdfund.org/ObamacareinCourt<br /><br />Hope that helps!Leila@LittleCatholicBubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357573787143230160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-25508840926884930862012-06-17T18:38:39.207-07:002012-06-17T18:38:39.207-07:00I didn't feel like registering my vital statis...I didn't feel like registering my vital statistics to rate or comment on Ebert's blog.

I was...Gwen, thanks, but I think you misunderstand. I wasn't ever under the impression that there would be $1 abortions (there won't be). It's the multi-million/billion dollar abortion slush fund that is the issue, and how sneakily it will be filled. The enrollees won't know until the "time of enrollment" that their policy is one of the (majority) that will cover elective abortions. That is a huge problem. Lot's of folks will be funding abortions against their will, so directly that their $12 a year will be put directly in a fund for payment to the abortionists. How many Americans do you think would be okay with that, truly?<br /><br />I have asked Dorinda for clarification, so I hope to get back to you on that.Leila@LittleCatholicBubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357573787143230160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-32847972623356560982012-06-16T16:30:41.969-07:002012-06-16T16:30:41.969-07:00Regarding the claims of your #6, I think you shoul...Regarding the claims of your #6, I think you should check this out- the nitty gritty details might actually please you.<br /><br />http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/mar/21/blog-posting/does-barack-obamas-health-care-bill-include-1-abor/Miss Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02503676176409924845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-89968262241371223702012-06-16T16:02:57.960-07:002012-06-16T16:02:57.960-07:00About the rest: I think Becky said it best too!

I didn't like the script and I noticed the address had the feed details in it and wondered if that was the problem - it seemed to be since it went away as soon as I removed it. Also, when I click from my reader or blogger itself, I don't get the script. So, I wonder if this is the problem for everyone or was just for me? (Oh, and it was the same post I looked at within less than 2 minutes of one another, so it wasn't a time thing that fixed it IMHO.)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738076740941616678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-67183788309142877712012-06-16T07:53:40.154-07:002012-06-16T07:53:40.154-07:00In Anne McCaffrey's "Pegasus" series...In Anne McCaffrey's "Pegasus" series (first published in 1973), people on earth have to have government permission to reproduce. If they are caught reproducing illegally, then they and their children are forcibly sterilized. That's only slightly less horrifying than forced abortion, but I can totally see it happening.<br /><br />Ironically, as the series continues, those who are discovered to have psionic Talent (mental telepathy, teleportation, etc) are rewarded for reproducing in high numbers, because their Talents allows man to colonize other planets more efficiently which in turn leads to the encouragement to have large families within the colonies.<br /><br />It is interestingly scary when science fiction seems to come to life. Even within Asia, you have the one-child policy in China, and then South Korean government rewards families for having more than two children.Barbara C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03568254165279635079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-19980317620782892112012-06-16T04:37:57.115-07:002012-06-16T04:37:57.115-07:00It is hard not to get down-hearted when reading th...It is hard not to get down-hearted when reading these things day after day, but onward we march! I put my "reccomendation" on Catholics for Choice, what an oxymoron! Roger Ebert's blog is shameful. Once upon a time I was so happy to find it and I think I lasted about 2 weeks reading it, then I wrote him a comment telling how much I enjoyed him growing up watching Siskel and Ebert with my dad on TV, happy, fond memories, but how shocked I am to find that he is such an anti-Catholic bigot that I can't stomach to read his blog.

I continue to hear these absurd reasons of why people want to abort; too many kids, the "wrong" gender, and so on. I am so angry about this. I am waiting, just waiting, for someone who is pro-choice to explain the justified reason to abort a baby of seven months. Really, a baby of any gestation, but especially seven months!!<br /><br />I am so tired of hearing about abortion. I am so tired of hearing about BABIES dying because of CHOICE. I am angry for fighting for my baby and angry for my sister fighting for hers and for all we have gone through, when there are selfish people out there who kill the unborn through a selfish decision. I am tired of the people who argue on this blog and try to justify abortion to you, me and anyone else who is pro-life. I am tired of them not getting it. I am so tired of death. I'm tired of the visions of dismembered babies in garbage bags in my dreams. Why don't people understand? What more does it take? <br /><br />Where are you people to explain this to me? <br /><br />I'm sorry for my vent Leila, but I just can't take this anymore.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451590537173713861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-6851946806361454662012-06-15T18:31:24.031-07:002012-06-15T18:31:24.031-07:00Gone for a month!?!
