Obama Starts Process of Removing Doctors' Protections

Washington, DC -- The White House quietly announced on Friday that President Barack Obama is starting the process of overturning protections President Bush put in place to make sure medical staff and centers are not forced to do abortions. The move is the latest that will add to Obama's growing pro-abortion record.

Existing federal laws already make it so doctors and hospitals are not required to perform abortions. Because those laws aren't always followed, the Bush administration added additional protections.

Now, the Obama administration is starting the process to remove them.

Full story here.

What will he think of next to promote the culture of death?

    Looks like there will not only be a shortage of hospitals in this country (over 1/3 will close if forced to proform abortions), but many doctors have said they will quit before they go against their beliefs.

    I hope nobody gets sick in the next 4 years!

    My extremely articulate and brilliant Enlgish Professor is also an esteemed member of the Catholic faith. He continuously employs the most effusive praise when discussing Obama in class. I'm truly flummoxed as to how he can regard this President so divine as he seeks to destroy basic doctrinal/covenantal/foundational principles of Catholicism.

    Most concerning to me right now is the allocation of 900 million dollars to Hamas....the same terrorists who danced in the street as we suffered on 9/11...the same terrorist organization that wants nothing more than to wipe Israel and her people off the map.

    I'm not Catholic or Jewish. Nor am I Republican or Democrat. I'm just a concerned American who believes that God's Law and moral values trumps any and all political affiliations.

    Oh, and I also penned an inventively worded opinion essay for class that discussed the unconstitutionality of Obama coercing taxpayers to fund abortions. I can honestly say that my argumentation and reasoning outlined in the paper was unequivocal to any other I've ever read on this issue.

    My Professor only deigned to award me a "B" for my efforts. He said I marred an excellent paper with a "turgid wording style." If you can't unleash your fury against something so unprincipled as taxpayer-funded abortions in an opinion paper then where else can you?

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the...

Saint Michael de Sanctis: Patron of Cancer Patients

Image
Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the...

St. Raymond Nonnatus, Patron of Expectant Mothers, Midwives, and Newborn Babies

Image
The saint of the day for August 31 is St. Raymond Nonnatus. He is the patron of expectant mothers, midwives, obstetricians, infertile couples, and newborn babies. Raymond was born at Portella, Catalonia, Spain in 1204, the son of wealthy parents. He was delivered by cesarean section when his mother died in childbirth. Hence his name non natus (not born). In his childhood, he seemed to find pleasure only in his devotions and serious duties. His father, sensing that Raymond was drawn to religious life, ordered him to manage one of the family farms. Raymond readily obeyed but spent his time with the shepherds and workers, studying and praying until his father abandoned the idea of making his son a worldly success. Raymond later joined the the Order of Our Lady of Mercy or the Mercederians, which was founded by St. Peter Nolasco, who devoted to ransoming Christians captured by the Moors. He succeeded Peter as chief ransomer and went to Algeria to ransom slaves. He remained as h...
