Pro-Life people of good will have succeeded in bringing to the forefront the most important concern of all, our obligation to protect human life and human dignity. Federal Funds must not be used to promote the taking of innocent human life through intentional abortion, PERIOD. The Anti-Life effects of such a “Government Option” has all but killed any hope the US administration had of receiving support from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops...

Governor Palin wrote “…is it any wonder that many of the sick and elderly are concerned that the Democrats' proposals will ultimately lead to rationing of their health care by—dare I say it—death panels? Establishment voices dismissed that phrase, but it rang true for many Americans. ... But the fact remains that the Democrats' proposals would still empower unelected bureaucrats to make decisions affecting life or death health-care matters. Such government overreaching is what we've come to expect from this administration.”

She is not the only woman named Sarah whose words fed my serious reservations today. The other woman is named Sarah Capewell. Her tragic story of the loss of her little son made me even more cautious over where this all of the alleged “Health Care Reform” plans are headed. I read an article in the “UK Daily Mail”, entitled 'Doctors told me it was against the rules to save my premature baby'. ... It detailed the horrific failed plight of Sarah Capewell to save her own child from Government Health care rationing in the U.K.

She lost her son Jayden due to the decision of the NHS, the Health Care System in Great Britain - a system similar to what some have proposed for the United States of America - to let him die, for economic reasons.

I kept asking for the doctors but the midwife said, 'They won't come and help, sweetie. Make the best of the time you have with him.'

Grotesque. Hitlerian.

George Bush was mocked for his speeches on developing a “culture of life.” Even I had no idea how threatened the concept of respect for life was.

All the bureaucrats and personnel will be judged for their actions, whether they know it or not.
