Oregon Governor Supports Mandatory Gov’t Visits for All Newborns and Their Parents

OREGON, January 24, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – News from Oregon that Governor Kate Brown is on board with a bill which would require invasive home visits by state employees to all households with newborns has sent shockwaves across the nation.

The “emergency” designation has an oddly ominous tone, stating that the measure is “necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety,” so “an emergency is declared to exist.”

“What’s the big emergency?” asked Paula Bolyard in an opinion piece penned for PJ Media.

“Apparently, the state of Oregon is concerned that some parents are raising their children without the watchful eye of Big Brother monitoring their every move – a big no-no in the view of the progressive left,” continued Bolyard.

“It's frightening to think about what would happen to parents who refuse such visits,” noted Bolyard. She added:

As someone who has been involved in the homeschooling movement for more than 20 years, I have seen many attempts to increase the oversight of children taught at home by requiring home visits by a teacher or social worker. The basic premise behind these attempted power grabs is that parents cannot be trusted with the care of their own children — that an agent of the state is the only one qualified......

So.... How many hundreds of new State government employees will it take to make this happen. How much will taxes have to increase to pay for them?

Oh well, You get the government you deserve, Oregon.

The state’s intrusion into to the lives of its citizens grows daily - after some surgery last spring I had a visiting nurse come in for a couple of follow-up visits while I recuped at home - voluntary and no big deal - but one of the services she was required by somebody somewhere in the state of New Jersey to impose on me during her visit was to “assist” me in coming up with an evacuation plan in case we ever get hit with a major storm like the hurricanes we get once maybe every ten years - I told her if I thought I couldn’t ride it out at home, being thirty miles from the coast and having a back-up generator and all, I’d probably drive to Philadelphia and get a hotel room somewhere until the danger passed - funniest thing was about six months later I got copy of the “plan” in the mail co-signed by a couple of people apparently approving - guess I’ll be okay when the deluge comes.....

Coming soon to a Federal Courthouse in Oregon, with a sequel performance in San Francisco playing at the 9th Circuit. The third in the triology will occur in the Supreme Court.
