Publicly Funded Eugenics

[this was written at the height of the Health bill debate in March 10]

... In motion is a dizzying array of both legitimate and nefarious factors that might sway some votes. But the Democratic pro-life caucus is key, one way or the other.

Pro-abort Democratic leadership stopped trying to strike a compromise with Stu-PAC late last week, finally realizing, as House GOP Minority Leader John Boehner put it, abortion is "one of those issues that, literally, can't split the baby." (Well, pro-aborts wouldn't mind, but pro-lifers do.)

But along the way, pro-abort Democratic leadership apparently engaged Stupak in some interesting conversations....

According to National Review Online, quoting Stupak:
... What are Democratic leaders saying?

"If you pass the Stupak amendment, more children will be born, and therefore it will cost us millions more. That's one of the arguments I've been hearing," Stupak says....

"The Democratic Party wants publicly funded abortion available to the poor and minorities - so as to abort the poor and minorities. Sen. Dick Durbin was amazingly candid during a Senate committee meeting last July when arguing in favor of publicly funded abortions in the District of Columbia...."

HHS Secretary Thompson Links Abstinence To Healthy Behaviors PDF Print E-mail

Today's youths are more responsible and more educated than those of past generations but need to focus on leading healthy lifestyles, said HHS Secretary Thompson at the first ever National Youth Summit.

Mr. Thompson promoted sexual abstinence as the only way to avoid pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. He called on youths in attendance to "be ambassadors" to their peers and discourage unhealthy behavior. Attorney General Ashcroft and Department of Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman joined Mr. Thompson at the event, which was sponsored by the U.S. Dept of HHS with seven other U.S. departments. Mr. Ashcroft echoed Mr. Thompson's calls for healthy living and added that interpersonal relationships and public service are other factors in developing good leaders. Mentoring and education are two ways to ensure children lead successful lives, Ashcroft said, adding that parents should realize that "in everything we do, we teach." [The Washington Times 28 June02]
