One thing that is completely incomprehensible to me is the lying that goes on in most current agendas. For instance, back in 1973, we were told legal abortion would not only save women’s lives (though the deaths from botched abortions had already dropped due to antibiotics) it would ensure no child would be unwanted. Foster homes and CPS ring a bell with anyone? Another slogan from the past is “safe legal and rare” It would seem, from various charges brought against several abortion clinics, that it’s not safe (women do on occasion die), and if Planned Parenthood is changing procedures to something more drawn out to deliver intact babies …and leaving women alone in the rooms long enough to deliver (I would think this is after receiving drugs to dilate the cervix) instead of receiving the abortion procedure, not exactly in the best interests of the mother. Or the child, which, apparently, is not rushed into medical care, but allowed to die. And it is anything but rare. So why are we paying into the Obamacare system and guaranteed, via Medicaid and private insurance, free contraceptives, if they are not being more widely used? Abortion rates were down a few years ago. Now more (black) babies are aborted than born in New York City, and in Detroit 1/3 of all pregnancies end in abortion. Which brings us to Planned Parenthood, today. They deny any illegal activity. Their lawyers and spin doctors probably will keep them from any liabilities over selling fetal tissue. What I cannot understand is why women aren’t mad about the money made off of them…and I have a host of other questions… Why is so much fetal tissue needed in research? In the stem cell debate, the idea was to make cell lines to investigate illness and develop cures. Because of the ban put in place by the Bush administration, scientists were forced to look into other methods. Israel has been a real leader in cures developed from adult stem cells. Storing cord blood from infants for stem cells that could be used for them if needed is common. Are fetal parts just a standard used for getting grants…..as animal research used to be? (include it whether you need it or not) I don’t know why anyone thinks scientists are above the need to fudge..to lie, to exaggerate results to keep the money flowing..as there have been enough scandals over the past decade to prove they really are just people and not robots dedicated to the scientific method. The hows and whys of getting grants from the US government used to come with advice on obfuscating everything to assure acceptance. This was the response to government “gobbledy gook.” Yup a real term for governmental jargon. Who is doing this research and what are they studying? Most scientists work off grants..though there is private funding as well. In essence, we pay AGAIN for the fetal tissue. For research we know nothing about. Are human brain cells from these babies used in those mouse/human brain experiments? We don’t even have standardized limits to how much human matter can be used….we don’t know where the line is, when brain tissue would be enough to make an animal self-aware, etc. like a human. Point is, we do not know how the bodies leaving Planned Parenthood are being used…but we pay for it. And for Planned Parenthood. And for Medicaid. One more bone to pick with Planned Parenthood. In the video that included training in dissection, you hear the infant in the tray called a baby and a boy. Haven’t you told women over the years that it is just a blob of tissue? Avoided ultrasounds before the procedure (many women change their minds after seeing a living intact very obvious BABY growing inside them) Called the babies “products of conception” “zygotes” and “fetuses?” (strangely the OB calls early pregnancy infants fetuses too.) If abortion is such a positive thing, why do you lie? Let’s get real. Women want to have all the same rights as men..including the right to abandon their children. They don’t want to get stuck with a lousy partner via child custody and child support.(though he was good enough to have sex with) or they are too young to truly understand contraceptives. No matter, we’ll just step up and give them IUD’s at 12 and abortions at 14..without parental consent. (IUD’s are not a terribly safe form of contraceptive and are usually used in women who have already given birth. There could be real medical consequences . With doctors and parents unaware of the cause of infection bleeding rupture and the like. And a kid is unlikely to fess up to ANY authority especially their parents.) Oh I forgot…parents can be excluded when it comes to pregnancy or other reproductive issues. Patient privacy issues. For children too young to be able to make informed decisions. So what is really happening? Selfishness. Instead of self-control and proper use of contraceptives, or even to remind children that refraining from sex guarantees no pregnancy, we’ll just get rid of the evidence. Parents are truly behind the eight ball though in teaching about sexuality with the government intruding more and more into this area of family life. Which brings us to… Gay marriage. Remember the big to-do about gayness (at least in males) being genetic? That something made men gay and their sisters or aunts compulsive about having many children. An uncontrollable urge to birth. I did not make that up. And the lesbians and transgendered were left in the cold ( though transgender research has been done; it is inconclusive, no one is required to have brain patterns looked at to receive puberty blockers hormones or sex reassignment surgery, so no one cares.) Further studies have not confirmed that theory. The big twin study that was done did not have a 100 percent correlation of gay men having gay twins..in fact, there was not much difference statistically to other twins ( heterosexual.) And the whole “gay gene” hoopla has quietly disappeared. I guess the benefits of proving “God made me this way” just weren’t that important compared to a Supreme Court willing to grant you a special status, and a re-defined institution as old as mankind. Or that might have led to parents selecting against that “defective gene.” Oops. You lied. You tried to push and twist science and religion, victim status, and comparisons to groups that truly HAVE faced discrimination. You may not want monogamy or children, but you sure do want federal tax benefits. And to push your beliefs down the throat of anyone who ever told you homosexuality was wrong or a sin. To change society in a fundamental way. So let’s get real. You like homosexual sex. You do not want to feel “bad” about it, and you want any benefit that might come your way. By combining disparate groups to make the numbers look far larger than they are (gay men are still about 2% of the population) a savage media campaign and a savvy legislative agenda, you got your wish. You further wish to alter the major religions themselves to not only condone but actually praise you. Your icons are people like Matt Shepard. Who died in Wyoming..not because he was gay but because of a drug deal gone bad. One of his murderers had also been his lover. I guess you didn’t want to play up the murderous homosexual..wouldn’t have looked good. Bruce Jenner, who claims to have struggled with his identity his whole life. A celebrity who at 65 can be made to look like a forty year old woman. Not exactly the normal experience for the transgendered in America. He is the epitome of the celebrity lie. Numerous award winning poets, pundits and speakers for the gay community who are known pederasts. Politicians..you want to be elected and make money. Stop lying that you care about your constituents or have any particular stance on anything except what your party tells you to say.. Major corporations who employ overseas workers via guest visas simply to pay less to employees. Who have avoided the Obamacare mandates by throwing their employees on the mercy of the healthcare website. (While all of us MUST have healthcare or pay fines) Who now tell states what legislation they will accept? And who move their headquarters overseas if US taxes are too onerous. This is not capitalism. There is no public good involved with these practices. You want to make the most money possible for yourselves and your shareholders, and reducing the American workforce to a lower class status they can never get out of is just fine with you. Robber barons, indeed. Are we harboring Islamic terrorists? Depends on who you ask. Of the numerous incidents were a murderous rampage followed, Islamic slogans or leanings are often found after the fact. Dylan Roof was more of the skinhead/white supremacist ilk. And Timothy McVay. Some are just plain crazy, like the Naval Yard shooter, the Sandy Hook Elementary shooter, or the man who just shot an entire family in Montana for trying to help him get back on the road. Point is, while saying “I will never sell to a Muslim” was extreme, the Florida gun shop owner had a point. There is no way for him to tell if someone has murder in mind. But if his guns are used by a mass murderer…he WILL get sued. With the databases our government now keeps, surely those who espouse radicalism in any form can be tracked. Or at least a law to allow an owner to NOT sell to anyone who makes him suspicious. The current checks on gun buying do not help the gun shop owners make these determinations. But let’s get real. Something like 89 incidents have occurred since 9/11 involving those who claim to be Islamic. Therefore, they ARE Islamic terrorists bent on bringing down America. They have been in some way encouraged to play out what they feel are edicts from their leaders. These are NOT just workplace violence incidents, so somehow unrelated to their religion. Every law abiding Muslim in this country should be pointing out their radicalized youth to authorities, to therapists, to their religious leaders.. not hiding behind civil liberty laws. Or suing gun shop owners fed up with mass killings. And finally, that group of entities known as the American church. You have turned your back on every major precept taught by Christianity, in order to keep em coming through the doors…and making donations. You are now no different than the church during the time of the Nazis. And frankly, the Muslim and Jewish communities seem just fine with letting anyone preaching that “old time religion” and standing up for not only the ability to have freedom of religion, but freedom of association and speech, take it on the chin while you keep your heads down. But when they are done with us…who do you think they will attack next? The globalist/ civil liberties/ progressive agenda folks will NEED to continue to have enemies. The whole agenda thrives on discord, angst, and fear. Now that you are all getting your every wish granted, why not stop lying? It would be refreshing. |
