The arbiters of life are at the door knocking. So when the door opens do they get to decide who gets pregnant and who can’t, being arbiters and all...?
arbiter:
1. One chosen or appointed to judge or decide a disputed issue; an arbitrator.
2. One who has the power to judge or ordain at will
I posted the following before — I think bears repeating here:
“The Fraser Institute, a Conservative think tank, has produced the definitive series of studies on Canada’s health care system. Anyone interested in knowing the facts, should read their reports. You can access them on line here:

Freepers will likely enjoy this one, for the Reaganesque title alone.

It busts a lot of health-care myths. There’s plenty of ammo there, to shoot down any Obamabot talking points.”
And does anybody who touts Canada's healthcare as a model ever bother to note that the population of Canada is 33 million people, about one-tenth (!) of the population of the United States? Why should any sensible person believe that government-run healthcare for 300 million people will work, when government-run healthcare for 33 million people is failing? There's no reason at all, of course. Indeed, it's only reasonable to expect hopelessly catastrophic failure from the program for 300 million people.
But, no, Obama says that's wrong. So let's just follow our Dear Leader into the abyss...
You’re just a statistic, you life means nothing to the state under national health care. P-ss on you.
Here’s the latest thing being proposed by Alberta Health in Edmonton:

My son and daughter-in-law are both psychiatric nurses at this hospital and my daughter also works there as an aid and they are really mad about this because it not only affects their jobs but because they know that the people who are at this hospital cannot function well if at all out in the general population. The plan is to save the provincial government money by shutting down about 3/4 of the main mental health care facility in the province. This just shifts the expense to the city to provide homes, care-workers, social services, police, courts and fire department. The link above is to our liberal slanted paper but this issue has everyone seeing red. My kids are hoping because of the public reaction the government (which is and has been conservative for decades) will re-evaluate their plan and shelve it.
