There's no more reconsidering one's view of just who and what these people are

The more I think about what happened last week - the bringing of the FHer-care provision that requires religious hopsitals and charites to offer contraception and abortion to the fore, and the MEC's "attempt to accomodate" them in reaction to the backlash by saying that their insurance providers can do the dirty work instead, free of charge to the policyholders - I cannot conclude anything other than that this regime is evil to its core.

The lie it is selling has many layers:

It posits that there is some kind of right to "reproductive health services."

It posits that extermination a fetal American is somehow some kind of "reproductive health."

It is a further attempt to normalize the notion that it is perfectly okay for government to tell a private organization to provide a particular product and do so at a loss.

It attempts to make the public think that divine law is a mere quirky abstraction that a few on the fringe cling to because they fear the glaring light of modernity.

It attempts to further normalize the notion that the Constitution's separation of powers is a quaint old concept that need not be heeded now that we all know what is "fair" and "just" to do as a matter of public policy.

A line has been crossed, a gauntlet thrown down. It is no longer possible for an American citizen to be ambivalent or "moderate." That's code for throwing one's lot in with a force of darkness and tossing one's honor to the wind.

This is no routine policy disagreement. This is war, and it has come to your street and your heart.

  1. Roe v. Wade was decided 39 years ago. 86.5 % of employment based plans cover abortion. You forces vs. darkness have been against Obama from the beginning. He had alredy wrecked things less than 3 mos. Into his admin, Judging from the 1st nationwide TP rallies on 4/15/09. You have also fought social insurance for a century. And if anger is a deadly sin, well, look to your soul. My BP rises 20 points just listening to your ilk rage on. Newt is a wretched hypocrite. Romney changes with whatever will blow his secret Mormon agenda fo America into power. I still don't trust you Republicans. I spose that aligns me with darkness.
