It remains to be seen how many prominent Catholic clerics and lay people Obama will be able to suborn. If history is a guide, he will succeed well enough to have the names trumpeted by the media and undermine Catholic resistance. This has been the pattern on the healthcare legislation and elsewhere when he picked off institutions such as AARP and corporations etc.

It might just be different this time. One can never be sure which outrage will finally awaken the latent core of decency slumbering in the American soul.

It is well understood by most of us that this is an argument ultimately over abortion which is the ultimate moral question confronting America. And it is equally understood by many of us that abortion is but a metaphor for the final Stalinist solution sought by this administration over our purses, our bodies, our brains, and our souls.

I think there’s actually another agenda here. It’s no accident that Planned Parenthood is exulting over this, because it is essentially a backdoor enactment of the population control plan PP has gotten the US government to fund in foreign countries all over the world.

Mandating the provision of this “service,” free of charge (although indirectly paid for by all of us), means mandating a non-medical “service” directed at social ends. Contraception is not a medical service but a means of population control and a way of eliminating the family as the base unit of our social structure.

This has long been a goal of the progressives, and reproduction (and hence family) control is a feature of every Communist dictatorship because the goal is to reduce human beings to the status of nothing more than unattached, unindividualized worker bees in the vast hive of the state.

I read somewhere in the discussion of this that Planned Parenthood will be involved in providing this “access” to contraception, and I think you’re going to see more and more of their population and social control program imposed through this stealth route.
