The Consequences of Change

Change has come to Washington. And oh how the consequences hurt.

Thanks to our president, your tax dollars will now be used to fund the destruction of embryos for the sake of scientific research. Never mind the fact that through previous state and private grants, we have spent years and millions of dollars on this research already. The result? NO patient has been successfully treated with human embryonic stem cells. Not a single one. Never mind that adult stem cells, which do not destroy anything, have proven to be effective time after time. Never mind that millions of Americans object to being forced to have their taxes used to fund the destruction of human life.

Speaking of being forced, our president announced Friday that he wants to overturn rules that protect health care providers' freedom of conscience. Obama has vowed to overturn President Bush's reinforcement of federal laws that protect doctors from being forced to participate in abortion and other anti-life practices. Imagine that - a doctor trained and devoted to saving lives and healing people will be forced to kill lives and hurt people. Is there a better definition of insanity? Is there a better example of a morally bankrupt government?

Speaking of bankruptcy, the government may be in so much debt that our grandchildren's grandchildren will be paying for it. But that hasn't stopped our president from declaring that we have the obligation to fund abortions performed overseas. Through his reversal of the Mexico City Policy, which banned this type of taxpayer funding, Obama is effectively saying: We are in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and we have to immediately spend trillions of dollars to “stimulate” the economy. And while we're at it, let's spend millions more to help countries who cannot afford to abort their own babies.

So I ask again: Is there a better definition of insanity? Is there a better example of a morally bankrupt government?

Yes, elections have consequences. Congratulations, America, you wanted change and you got it - along with the consequences. And guess who else gets to deal with the consequences - America's future generations - especially the ones who have been aborted or used for scientific experiments.
