Just have a seat at the top of that slippery slope, give a little push, and see where you end up.
There’s nothing surprising about this. But Sarah seems to be one of the few politicians with enough guts to say anything about it.
The stupid party doesn’t seem to realize that she is not only taking the moral position by saying this, she is taking the winning position. Most Americans don’t really favor killing babies, or old people, or handicapped people. But the left has all sorts of ways of hiding what they are doing, and the Republicans let them control the language. If the Republicans would only speak out, they would have a political winner. But again and again, they remain silent.
Why, for instance, is Kathleen Sebelius sitting in her current job? If the REpublicans had made her an issue, they might have blocked her appointment AND made political gains while doing so. Instead, they just folded.
The way the plan works will be to isolate actual moral authority such as the pope or the Scriptures as narrowly sectarian. We simply MUST be inclusive, don't you know? Then we will have university accredited, allegedly edumacated thoroughgoing atheists and enemies of mankind callng themselves "bio-ethicists." They will play at "make-believe morals" as though we actually needed their rationalizations for murder. When the pope and the various churches still loyal to Western Civilization object to their "bio-ethics", they will assume exclusivism rather than their former play act of inclusivism and explain that all that pope or bible stuff is obsolete and that modern man needs a new and more sensible ethics (faux pragmatism) for a new and more sensible age. Then those who persist in religion will be declared heretics by the new religion of the state and persecuted accordingly.
Zen ve vill haff our master race!!!! Heil Obama! Hail, Rosemary!
This is almost the exact wording used by 'progressive' ethicists in America and around the world, before they were discredited by their German colleagues. Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism once again shows what is happening.
Now they’re getting close to home. My perfectly beautiful grandson was born a year ago with spina bifida. His spine was visible, as his back didn’t properly close over it. Not treating him would have meant death from infection, if not starvation/dehydration. He had successful surgery at 22 hrs. of age, and at 5 weeks had a shunt put in his brain to alleviate hydrocephalus. All of us prayed hard for his survival. Can you imagine the horror to his parents if “society” deemed him too defective to live?
At age one, he loves life, laughs all day, enjoys the love and attention of family and friends. He is mentally normal, and will require foot/ankle orthotics to walk. It will take him awhile. He will lead a slightly different life, but there are no barriers to what he can achieve in life as a productive citizen. Keep their ghouls away from my grandson!
Your beautiful grandson has such a loving and wonderful family to back him up that he will have a happy life. That’s all we can ask for, love and some happiness.
Every one of us has some disability, whither it be of the body, the heart or the mind. We all lack in something as no one is perfect. Those who think they are are the real handicapped.
I’ve taken care of several kids with spinal bifida..
For the most part, spunky, bright delightful kids.
Prayers for your grandson in this increasingly wicked world.
Why? The Groningen Protocol.
Grab a copy of the medical article referenced at the bottom of this article. Chilling!
Thank you for your kind reply. Our little guy brings such joy to our lives.
Thank you for your prayers and encouraging words. What happened to the notion of diversity? Didn’t Eunice Shriver become so honored because she helped make a place for handicapped children? This regime seriously reminds me of Nazi Germany.
I’m surprised the mortality rate is 54% in the US. I guess we were lucky. There’s never been a moment when we haven’t thanked God for this precious boy’s life. The nurses in the hospital where he was born thought he should have been aborted. My daughter didn’t know of the defect until the day he was born, but she wouldn’t have aborted had she known. The nurses and doctors at the NICU in a large city hospital where he was transported were angels. Groningen is clearly the opposite of an angel.
Indeed it is reminiscent of Germany.
One of the most delightful and gentle souls that I ever had the blessing to take care of was a middle aged woman that had had MS for 20 years.
Her condition had deteriorated to the point that her only voluntary movement was turning her head side to side.
She still had the heart of a teacher, so she did.
Her care givers were primarily nurses aids throught home health and she taught them.
Every individual is valuable in the eyes of God.. It doesn’t matter the package that individual is in.
God frequently chooses imperfect vessels.. Moses, David, Abraham were very far from perfect but they were instrumental pivot points in salvation history.
Blessings on your family.
Great article highlighting the disgraceful practice which takes place in the Netherlands. It gives me shivers to read what goes on in some other countries.
Gov. Palin was right on with her “death panel” comments. We need to hit that meme over and over.
