What Early Feminists Thought about Abortion--Susan B. Anthony

(The early feminists, who will be featured in up-coming blog posts, referred to abortion as “child-murder.”)Following is a statement by Susan B. Anthony.
“Guilty? Yes. No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; but oh, thrice guilty is he who…drove her to desperation which impelled her to the crime?” The Revolution 4(1):4 July 8, 1869

Abortion and Racism

In 2003 in the United States, white women had 165 abortions per 1000 live births; Hispanic women had 228 abortions per 1000 live births; and Black women had 491 abortions per 1000 live births. (Human Life Alliance, autumn 2009) Black women comprise 12% of the female population of America, but they account for 37% of the abortions! What could explain this great excess of abortion activity among women of color?
The obvious answer is the well-known racial targeting of abortion providers in the U.S.A. Planned parenthood is the largest abortion provider of abortions in our country; and that organization has continued the eugenic bias of its founder, Margaret Sanger. Ms. Sanger was a woman obsessed with the goals of sexual freedom of all people and the “science” of eugenics in the early years of the 20th Century when she founded Planned Parenthood. She openly stated that she wanted to eliminate the feeble minded and retarded by forced birth control; and she welcomed into her movement those who were dedicated to white supremacy and the elimination of Blacks. She founded the Negro Project designed to infiltrate the Black community with a “birth control for health” doctrine in the early part of the last century.
It seems ironic that today we have a Black President who supports Planned Parenthood in a very enthusiastic way. It seems that he is also dedicated to diminishing the numbers of the Black population.

Dare We Doubt?

There are three basic beliefs that our modern society holds very dear. I would like to define them for you:
 Multiculturalism: All cultural and belief systems are equally valid.
 Diversity: Cultural, racial, and sexual identity take precedence over the common good.
 Political correctness: Do not dare to challenge, question, or disagree.
Dare we doubt the truth of these? I should hope so! If any of you are interested in looking further into these beliefs, I would refer you to a good book: Diversity, The Invention of a Concept by Peter Wood of Boston University.

We Must Have An Anti-Abortion Proviso In Health Care Act

A simple read of H.R. 3200, the present health care act, being considered by the Senate and the House of Representatives will show that there is no mention of abortion in the bill. However, broad powers given to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, who is Kathleen Sebelius—an avowed pro-abortionist, would allow her and her department to pay private insurance companies and abortion clinics for abortions using federal money. It would also allow low-income clients to get money directly from the Federal Government to pay for their abortions.
This bill needs a strict and specifically worded proviso preventing the use of federal money for abortion. This kind of language has been voted down repeatedly by Democrat legislators. However, there is a strongly worded amendment, called the Stupak-Pitts amendment, which would specifically prohibit federal money from being used for abortions. http://www.nrlc.org/AHC/StupakPittsLetterSept282009.pdf
I would strongly request that you write to your Congressman and Senator to vote for the Stupak-Pitts amendment to H.R.3200.

Medical Malpractice Regulation, a “No, No” for Democrats!

Democrats in Congress and the Senate will not realistically approach the problem of medical malpractice costs because of opposition from the trial lawyers professional group (called the American Association of Justice). Howard Dean, former chair of the Democratic National Committee was asked why there is nothing in the health-care proposals about liability reform. Mr. Dean replied: “The reason that tort reform is not in the bill is because the people who wrote it did not want to take on the trial lawyers…And that is the plain and simple truth.”
Today, lawyer and administrative costs soak up 54¢ out of every malpractice dollar. It costs obstetricians $1000 in malpractice insurance costs for every baby they deliver.
Former Sen. John Edwards made a fortune bringing 16 cases against hospitals for babies born with cerebral palsy. Each of those tragic cases was worth millions in settlement. But according to a 2006 study at the National Institutes of Health, in 9 out of 10 cases of cerebral palsy nothing done by a doctor could have caused the condition.
We should all write our Congressmen about this big problem, which is causing huge medical service costs.
