Insist on ‘Justice’ in ‘Social Justice’: No ‘Health Care Reform’

"...the most important issue which must be addressed is lost in the charged rhetoric over all of this "justice talk". That is the glaring fact that many who use the “Social Justice” arguments in this debate also support the intrinsically evil and utterly indefensible inclusion of abortion as a “health care service” in all of the current proposals for health care reform. Abortion is the intentional killing of children - our first neighbors - in the first home of the whole human race. Medical science confirms what the Natural Law has already revealed to all of us, that little boy or girl whom we now routinely operate on in the womb is one of us, our neighbor. The evil of killing him or her by dismemberment or suction or chemical weapons which was once hidden by the sophistry of the language of “choice” has been revealed for the horror that it really truly is. It is always and everywhere wrong to allow anyone to "choose" to kill the innocent.It is, in fact, criminal.

Sadly, we are not having this debate. The very foundation of all “Social Justice” is the recognition of dignity of every human person, from conception throughout all of life, at every age and stage, up to and including a natural death. We human beings are always “in development”. “Me” at almost 55 is a very different human being than “Me” at 5. However, I am now and have always been a human person and, as such, I have fundamental rights, the first of which is to the right to life and the freedom to not be killed by someone else in the name of “choice”. ...

Some who use the 'Social Justice' arguments support the intrinsically evil and utterly indefensible inclusion of abortion as a 'health care service' in health care reform.Where is the "justice" in that version of "Social Justice"?

Social Justice isn't.
Social Studies aren't.
Social Work doesn't.

It's all just code words for communism, and communism is a failed political philosophy.

“Social Justice” is a magic phrase. It sounds so good to the ears and means whatever the invoker wants it to mean. The most potent element of the invocation is to silence any opposition. Who is going to argue about “justice” being done?

“Social Justice” is code for “Statism”.

To these people, “Peace” is code for “Pacifism”.

What they will get with their Peace and Justice is secular humanist totalitarian oppression. And perhaps eventually sharia.
