The White House confirmed Saturday that pro-abort, Catholic-in-Name -Only Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, 60, has accepted the president's nomination to run the Department of Health and Human Services . This selection doesn't surprise me one bit, as "culture of death" Barack Obama has been consistently making poor choices, that are offensive to all people who have a conscience. This, however, is the ultimate slap in the face to all women and to Catholics , as well. I like what Ross Balano at Midwest Voices has to say about this selection: Kathleen Sebelius for Health and Human Services Secretary, are you kidding? If she gets confirmed the name should be changed to Health and IN-human Services. What’s next; Dr. George Tiller for Surgeon General? Tiller, you might remember, is the late term abortion doctor who is in court for violation of Kansas abortion laws. This guy is so slimy that he makes most other abortionists look like saints. There’s nothing he won’t do. ...

Everyone's talking about it throughout the blogosphere. I knew this day was bound to come when I first began blogging about the corruption here in KS about three years ago. It existed long before I moved here, but hopefully, won't continue, now that it has been publicly exposed on a national level. I am so thankful to Operation Rescue and Kansans for Life for exposing the evil and bringing it into the light. Dennis Boyle of the National Review refers to it as "machine politics" in his article "Supremely Wrong." Here's how he describes it: Machine politics is generally associated with cities, the cynical cronyism that is the prerequisite to wholesale corruption and urban decay. But these days it’s at its worst in, of all places, Kansas, under the governorship of leading Democratic vice-presidential contender, Kathleen Sebelius. Just ask Phill Kline. The former state attorney general and current district attorney of Johnson County, in suburban Kansas City...

By Judie Brown Kathleen Sebelius, current governor of Kansas and alleged Catholic, has distinguished herself in many ways. Most disturbing among them is her long-held support for the act of abortion. It is this single attribute that perhaps makes her attractive to President Obama, as he sets his sights on her as his nominee for the post of secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. By the way, those words, "health" and "human services" have a whole lot to do with the defining characteristics of the Sebelius era in Kansas. For example, out of a sincerely held, very deep belief in the jaundiced view that abortion is nothing more than an aspect of reproductive health services, she has gone out of her way to embrace the culture of death. Her opinion, based on her statements and actions, is that every mother should have the right to choose to end the life of her own preborn child. Sebelius has explained that though she is "personally opposed to aborti...

Cartoon and commentary by John Francis Borra, SFO, veritatis@eaglecom.net , used with permission. On July 2nd, notorious millionaire abortionist George Tiller once again evaded justice when a grand jury, hobbled by months of state-sponsored stall tactics, was dismissed without indicting him. But who, really, is surprised? After all, Tiller, Planned Parenthood and other players in the country’s abortion industry own the justice system here in Kansas. Time after time, through the appointment and manipulation of attorneys general, district attorneys, judges and law enforcement, Governor Kathleen Sebelius has helped abortionists evade Kansas law. At every level— city, county and state— the regulation, investigation and prosecution of abortion operators have been stymied during her tenure, permitting illegal abortions, sexual assaults and other crimes to continue unchecked. In April, Sebelius vetoed the Kansas Legislature's broadly supported Comprehensive Abortion Reform Act intended t...

After nominee for Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Daschle (a Catholic -In Name Only) was forced to withdraw his name because he failed to pay his taxes, Barack Obama's second choice is even a stronger pro-abort -- Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius (also a CINO). Kansas City Archbishop Joseph Naumann Sebelius' home bishop - has already said Sebelius should not recieve Communion because of her support for abortion . Read the details at Operation Rescue , LifeNews and the Associated Press . CINO Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius is at the top of the list and it would certainly be good to get her out of Kansas, where she is a strong advocate of late-term abortions. Here she protects and accepts blood money from late-term abortion George Tiller , but do we really want her as our nation's Health and Human Services Secretary? Doesn't Barack Hussein Obama have something more suitable for her abilities -- like White House plumber? I'm sure she could deal with the ...

Judie Brown The nomination of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is more solid proof our new president has no concern for the health of Americans. Rather, Obama’s modus operandi has been, and will continue to be, a full-scale attack on the personhood of the weak, disabled and preborn. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, Obama’s pick to lead the nation’s chief agency for health care, has made no secret of her radical support for the abortion movement. Indeed she has praised, defended and treated to dinner at the governor’s mansion the notorious Dr. George Tiller – set to stand trial for performing illegal late-term abortions. MORE To protest this nomination, sign the petition at Catholics Against Kathleen Sebelius. American Life League also has a petition against HHS Appointment of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius here. Why not sign both? Related Posts on Catholic Fire: New Catholic Website protests Sebelius' Cabinet Nomination It's Official: Sebelius to take post in Obama Cabinet Video Shows Why Sebeliu...

From Operation Rescue : Video Shows Why Sebelius Is “Not Fit To Serve” As HHS Secretary Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has been named a frontrunner for the cabinet position of Secretary of Human Services. If nominated, Operation Rescue has vowed to oppose her confirmation. Below is a video with powerful excerpts from “The O’Reilly Factor” which aired on May 30, 2007. O’Reilly takes Sebelius to task for her support of late-term abortionist George R. Tiller, who now faces criminal charges for having committed illegal late-term abortions. He states, “She is not fit to serve.” Also included are photos obtained by Operation Rescue that show evidence of a party hosted by Sebelius in April, 2007, in honor of Tiller’s entire abortion clinic staff. Open records receipts and statements from a source who attended the party, Sebelius’ excuses for the party simply cannot be believed. ( Read a written analysis with documentation .)

Washington D.C., Mar 3, 2009 / 01:52 pm ( CNA ).- Catholic opponents of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ nomination to become Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have launched a new website which decries her “extremist support for abortion” and solicits petition signatures protesting her nomination. The site www.catholicsagainstsebelius.org characterizes Gov. Sebelius, a Democrat and self-described Catholic, as “an avid supporter of the most radical abortion politics.” It notes her legislative and gubernatorial efforts to promote and defend unrestricted abortion access, criticizing her vetoes for abortion clinic safety regulations and laws requiring informed consent. Also reported at the site are Sebelius’ connections to late-term abortionist Dr. George Tiller, who is facing criminal charges for allegedly performing illegal late-term abortions. The governor hosted a party for Tiller at the governor’s mansion after he purchased the event as part of a fundraiser...

It's not official yet, but fasten your seat belts..... Obama Will Likely Pick Pro-Abortion Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as Health Secretary Washington, DC -- While House officials say President Barack Obama will name pro-abortion Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who has been criticized for refusing to limit late-term abortions, as the Secretary of the Health and Human Services Department. Once official, her selection would add to Obama's growing pro-abortion record as president. Go here for the full story. Obama advisors are already notifying the media that it will be Catholic In Name Only pro-abort Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius for Health Secretary and I am sure she will be thrilled to go -- more power , more prestige, more money, more power -- she's the "Tim Taylor" of politics -- I can hear the growling now. Not only will she be able to help late-term abortionist George Tiller murder more babies and more women, but she will be able to help all abortionists get a...

Cheryl Sullenger of Operation Rescue poses this question along with many in Kansas due to the obstructive actions of the Attorney General’s office that have recently been revealed in the Planned Parenthood criminal case. Many of us are concerned that the Tiller case may not be honestly prosecuted based upon the past actions of the justice system. The Facts: Wichita, Kansas abortionist George Tiller, is scheduled to stand trial on June 16, 2008, on 19 criminal misdemeanor counts of committing illegal late-term abortions by violating the second unaffiliated physician clause in the Kansas ban on post viability abortions. Former Attorney General Paul Morrison was forced to resign last June after news broke of his involvement in a sex and abortion corruption scandal. Morrison had attempted to persuade his illicit lover to spy on investigations against Tiller and Planned Parenthood for the purpose of derailing those investigations. Pro-abortion Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, then appointed fellow D...

Governor’s Veto Prompts Pastoral Action On the day of my return (Monday, April 21) from the exhilarating experience of participating in Pope Benedict’s pastoral visit to the United States, I learned that Governor Kathleen Sebelius had vetoed the Comprehensive Abortion Reform Act (HS SB 389), which had been passed by significant majorities in both chambers of the Kansas Legislature. Last week, an attempt to override the governor’s veto failed in the Senate by two votes. Governor Sebelius in her veto message claimed: “For years, the people of Kansas have asked their elected officials to move beyond legislative debates on issues like abortion.” From her veto message, I received the impression the governor considered it a waste of the Legislature’s time to pass a statute that attempts to protect some women by making certain they have the opportunity to be well-informed: 1) about the development of their unborn child; and 2) about abortion alternatives available to them. Evidently, the gove...

Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius said suggestions that she could be Barack Obama's running mate are "flattering and a little surreal.'' But she isn't saying whether she would accept. Sebelius is one of several people whose names have been floated as possible vice presidential candidates for Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee. Former Sens. John Edwards and Sam Nunn have also been mentioned. Sebelius, co-chairwoman of the Democratic National Convention, made her comments Thursday on a visit to Denver, where the convention will be held Aug. 25-28. Via Kake News.

Who is this "Roman Catholic" Governor that caters to every whim of late-term abortionist George Tiller? By Jean M. Heimann Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius is a staunch supporter of easy abortion. Through her years in the State Legislature and into the Governor's Office, Sebelius has fought hard against any restrictions on abortion. Instead, she has been quoted as saying, "I think for me and a lot of other people there are certain inalienable rights established for a person, but those are not applied in utero." (The Wichita Eagle, October 29, 1989.) She has also said, “My Catholic faith teaches me that life is sacred. Personally, I believe abortion is wrong.” ( Topeka Capitol Journal , Wednesday, May 24, 2006.) However, a s Governor, Sebelius has twice vetoed regulations for the abortion industry which would have established standards and inspection of Kansas abortion facilities. Sebelius has accepted blood money from late-term abortionist George Tiller. Over t...

I am not a politician, I am a priest. So I would like to give my priestly perspective about the recent endorsement of Senator Sam Brownback for the candidacy of Kathleen Sebelius for Secretary of Health and Human Services: Senator Brownback's cowardly betrayal of his Catholic faith is even more damaging than his political permission for this renegade to take office. The situation is atrocious. An extremist abortion hack (called the most pro-abortion governor in the nation by many), who falsely calls herself "Catholic," is given the opportunity to preside over the nation's healthcare system and normalize abortion even further; this radical is then endorsed by a US senator who also calls himself "Catholic" and who, many believe, wants her job back home when she becomes the abortion queen in DC. With pro-lifers like Senator Sam Brownback, who needs pro-aborts? Read the entire article . More Information: Brownback backs Sebelius for HHS Pro-Life Outrage over Seb...

In the March 6 edition of The Leaven , Archbishop Naumann made the following comments: Normally, it would be a source of joy and pride to have a Catholic from Kansas named by the President to an important Cabinet Post…. In many ways, I can understand why President Obama selected Governor Sebelius. As I have acknowledged on several other occasions she is a very bright and gifted leader. In many important areas, she represents well Catholic social teaching. She has advocated for more affordable housing for the poor, she has worked to expand access to health care for economically disadvantaged children, and she has supported incentives encouraging adoption. Yet, on the fundamental moral issue of protecting innocent human life, Governor Sebelius, throughout her career, has been an outspoken advocate for legalized abortion. For this reason her appointment to HHS is particularly troubling. … The appointment of Governor Sebelius as the Secretary of HHS concerns me on many levels. With her his...

Austin Ruse at The Catholic Thing shares the following: A reliable source tells me that someone representing the Obama administration is about to put pressure on the papal nuncio to the United States to get Archbishop Raymond Burke to be quiet. The Obama complaint is that Archbishop Burke, who is now head of the Apostolic Signatura in Rome, has supported another bishop in his chastisement of Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius for her support of abortion. A few days ago Archbishop Burke gave an interview to the San Diego-based organization Catholic Action for Faith and Family, during which he took the gloves off about Sebelius, who has been nominated to head the massive U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. He noted her “public association with some of the more notorious agents of the culture of death.” This, of course, was a reference to her hosting a party for the late-term abortionist George Tiller, currently on trial in Kansas for nineteen infractions of abortion restrictions...

His Excellency The Most Reverend Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann Archbishop of Kansas City, KS Photo Courtesy of The Leaven (Kansas City, KS) Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann, addresses the concerns of his flock regarding "Catholic" Governor Sebelius (D) and her actions on abortion, which have been inconsistent with Catholic teachings on human life in a recent issue of The Leaven, the diocesean newspaper. To listen to the archbishop’s commentary click here. His commentary is as follows: On May 19, Governor Kathleen Sebelius vetoed Senate Bill 528. This bill passed by the Kansas Legislature required abortion clinics to provide information documenting the reasons for late term abortions. Gov. Sebelius in her veto message stated: “Abortion is an important moral concern to all Kansans. My Catholic faith teaches me that life is sacred. Personally, I believe abortion is wrong.” I received several letters by individuals who disagreed with the governor’s veto. They objected in part becaus...
