Bob's Backyard

Why is it that a bunch of whiny Liberals want to stop the government from housing a “religious” symbol honoring fallen soldiers on taxpayer-owned land, but are pushing to have the government fund abortions and euthanasia?  Obama’s Health Care bills, as they are written now, do not exclude abortion from their wording.  The end result is that abortion will be a government mandate, forcing taxpayers to pay for abortions whenever citizens want them, and forcing private health care insurance companies to cover abortion in their policies.

Scared yet?

What, you think I’m spreading lies about Obama?  How about we look at the bill itself (seeing as how half the Congress hasn’t even done that):

SERVICES

SEC. 1920C. (a) STATE OPTION.—State plan approved under section 1902 may provide for making medical assistance available to an individual described in section 1902(hh) (relating to individuals who meet certain income eligibility standard) during a presumptive eligibility period. In the case of an individual described in section 1902(hh), such medical assistance shall be limited to family planning services and supplies described in 1905(a)(4)(C) and, at the State’s option, medical diagnosis and treatment services that are provided in conjunction with a family planning service in a family planning setting.

This is incredibly vague.  

And really, my debate isn’t about abortion itself… it’s about the government A) paying for it and B) forcing private companies to pay for it. 

I like how one blog post put it – “how about the next time I decide to purchase a 9mm they pay for it with their tax dollars?”  Wouldn’t THAT be a hoot.  Maybe we should have some sneaky Congressmen write in some laws to fund and mandate citizen-owned weaponry, so that all citizens MUST own and operate a handgun, like these sneaky Congressmen are writing in back doors and loopholes to get THEIR agendas into law.
