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...." [March 17, 2010, Jill Stanek, WorldNetDaily]

 
What Should I Say (and NOT Say) To My Teen? PDF Print E-mail

Ask yourself for a moment what evokes a more negative reaction most of the time in families:

the knowledge that a teen is sexually active,

or the knowledge that a teen has become pregnant?

If, in one way or another, the message is communicated that teen pregnancy will cause more of a problem than teen sex, then we are inadvertently creating an incentive for abortion.

After all, if one can abort the pregnancy without the family's knowledge, why endure the trouble that will result by revealing it?

Parents need to fearlessly make it clear that our goal is to encourage sexual abstinence (chastity), not to punish pregnancy. [PFL, May-June 2002]
