Bait and switch healthcare - the Trojan Horse strategy.

How do you feel about sharing the wealth and paying for another woman’s abortion? You may have the opportunity.

How do you feel about paying for another person’s abortion when you are struggling to pay your rent? A spokesperson for Planned Parenthood said it cost $450.00 for an abortion. There are millions of abortions performed each year. A guest on Bill O’reilly stated that Planned Parenthood had been given $300,000,000 (three hundred million) tax payer dollars already. Our teachers’ salaries and hours are being cut along with bus routes for school children walking along busy streets. Governor Perdue is requiring furloughs for teachers in Georgia.
 
How would you like for your insurance company to be forced to provide abortions to those they insure – causing your premiums to go up? Why should single people, elderly people and parents who give life to their children and give them a life have to pay to take the life of another woman’s baby? Why should people of all faith be forced to go against their beliefs and pay for someone else’s choice? 
 
Will all taxpayers be forced to pay for abortions against their faith? Will doctors and nurses have to participate in abortions even if it is against their faith? If this bill on healthcare is passed – you will – they will. Listen carefully to the video below and see the language of this bill untangled.  
In spite of how you feel about abortion, do you want to pay taxes to fund abortions not related to the health of the mother while the healthcare reform will not pay for Grandma’s heart pills?  The need for abortions can be prevented – patients need their medications.  Women choose to have sex – people don’t choose to be sick. We are not only being forced fed a Bill (HR 3200) – but sold a” bill of goods” in the way it is worded. It is “bait and switch” or the old shell game.  
 
Follow the link below to a video which explains some of the language of the bill regarding abortion. It is shocking to know that our elected officials engage in such cover up that affects the whole nation.  They use language that can later be substituted for wording that will do what they planned in the first place. They wouldn’t be honest and put neither the word “abortion” in there nor the name, “Planned Parenthood.” 
 
Was this inclusion payback to the Planned Parenthood for supporting the present administration’s election for promises of abortion on demand? Does all these “reality checks” the government is putting out there answer the questions of the public? This video is of President Obama speaking at Planned Parenthood before the election. He received huge contributions to his election from Planned Parent Hood. He made promises in exchange – with your money.
 
“An undercover investigation using an actor has shown that Planned Parenthood accepts donations from proposed racist whites on the condition that the funds are only to be used to abort black babies. A few of the conversations have been posted on YouTube by the UCLA Advocate, a student-run pro-life newspaper that last year posted undercover recordings showing that Planned Parenthood knowingly performs abortions on minors to cover up sexual assaults by adult predators” No matter the baby’s race or the way a child was conceived – an abortion stops a beating heart. 
 
Except for payback why should the President of the United States be involving himself in the reproduction of women no matter his feelings – is that job outlined for him in the Constitution? Is that a presidential  duty? NO. Why does he need to sell this to the American public – isn’t that Congress’s job  – don’t we have two wars going on? Isn’t there strife and troubles all over the globe that is affecting our nation – when he is before the camera 24/7 who is minding the White House? 
 
Is President Obama merely window dressing – the front man – how could he possibly be taking care of our business while he is running all over the place looking for a camera to take care of Planned Parenthood’s business?  How can he deny the way so many Americans – of all categories – feel about this bill?   Is this what we can expect for the next three and one half years – the President controlling everything in the nation? We have lost our balance of power. Now we are hearing that he intends to rush this through the Senate without consideration of what Republicans want and everyday people like us want. The voice of the people is supposed to be heard, right? 
 
Like former President Ronald Reagan said in the video below in 1961 when he gave a straight talk about socialized medicine. He said if that was ever passed, we would one day be telling our grandchildren what it was like to live in freedom! Our Constitution was designed so as to protect the rights of American’s not run over them. Barney Frank told the people who voted for him that they were like talking to the dinning room table. What an insult to people who are frightened and concerned about their welfare.

Below is an open letter to those who support the life of the pre-born and stand against a mandate which would fund abortions from tax revenue. This letter is from Charmaine Yoest, P.H. D, President and CEO of Americans United for Life. She writes:
 
“We’ve got inside information: Yesterday a media-relations executive from the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, giving a talk here in Washington on Planned Parenthood’s health care reform strategy, made a comment that revealed the impact we’ve been making in thwarting the abortion industry’s agenda. She lamented that because the “anti-choice” movement -- meaning pro-lifers like you and me -- had attracted so much attention to her organization’s efforts to mandate abortion funding in health care reform, Planned Parenthood was being forced onto the defensive.
 
Bad news for abortion advocates is great news for champions of life! But Planned Parenthood has an extremely well-financed public-relations department. Planned Parenthood -- enabled by the more than 350 million of your tax dollars each year -- and its president, Cecile Richards, don’t stay on the defensive for long.
 
Perfect example: Planned Parenthood’s spin machine has issued a “Reality Check,” attacking what Richards says are “myths” spread by pro-lifers -- and twisting the truth so much it made my head feel like it was in a spin machine. I showed it to our legal team, and they responded with some masterful myth busting of their own. Here’s their take on the abortion industry’s three biggest myths about health care reform:

           MYTH: Pro-life groups want to strip reproductive health from health care reform.

Reality: Pro-life groups want to protect women’s reproductive health. And we do not want to deny women insurance coverage. However AUL, along with the vast majority of Americans, believes that “Real health care respects life!” No matter what Planned Parenthood says, abortion does not equal reproductive health. And health coverage should not include the destruction of unborn children.
 
 Furthermore, no one should be forced to violate their conscience by performing, referring for, paying for, or providing coverage for abortion. And make no mistake, that’s what the bills under consideration would do.
  • MYTH: The health care reform bills before Congress will not change the “status quo” regarding insurance coverage of abortion.
Reality: An amendment added to H.R. 3200 permits the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human  Services (HHS) to include abortion in the public health insurance plan, and requires abortion coverage if the Hyde amendment is ever reversed. The current Secretary of HHS, Kathleen Sebelius, is staunchly pro-abortion and would certainly include abortion, allowing for immediate federal funding of elective abortion coverage. The provision also requires that all areas of the country contain one private plan that covers abortion and permits taxpayer funding of private plans that cover elective abortion.
The Senate HELP bill delegates to a “Medical Advisory Committee” the role of deciding what benefits any private or public health care plan must offer. This Committee is expected to include abortion as a required minimum benefit. Further, based on court precedent, private plans would be forced by the government to include coverage of abortion -- this is a drastic change from the status quo in which private plans may elect to cover abortion and individuals may choose whether or not to purchase health insurance that offers coverage of abortion. Ironically, “pro-choice” activists are trying to take consumer choice out of health care.
  • MYTH: The health care reform bills before Congress do not mandate abortion coverage.
Reality: Both H.R. 3200 and the Senate HELP bill mandate abortion in several ways: 
1.      an amendment to H.R. 3200 permits and may require abortion coverage in the public health insurance plan, and permits taxpayer funding of private plans that cover elective abortion;
2.      prior court holdings which state that abortion is included within several of Medicaid’s mandatory categories of care (inpatient services, outpatient services, and preventative care) will certainly apply to any federal statute revising Medicaid and involving health care reform, and;
3.      the rejection of several key pro-life amendments in the House and Senate Committees, where the inclusion would have ensured that abortion was not funded in the bills, demonstrates that the bills are intended to mandate abortion.
 
If you’re trying to sort out the myths from facts on health care reform, the best place to start is AUL Action’s RealHealthCareRespectsLife.com. The site features in-depth analysis from our legal team, showing how the health care reform plans currently under consideration by Congress would mandate abortion coverage, strip providers of their rights of conscience, and threaten the ill and elderly with denial of care. Also, if you’re going to a town hall meeting this month, download our special town-hall flyer and distribute it to show your friends and neighbors to show that Real Health Care Respects Life.
Thank you for joining me in working to protect and defend life!

This link is the one above under Real Health Care Respects Life and shows how the language of this bill was set up in such a way that they can easily go back and substitute other words to mean what their original intention was. This is such terrible thing to realize how sneaky our own elected officials are. This is a travesty.
 
You have got to see how underhanded this bill is – it says one thing in order to accomplish another. Anything that is less than the full truth is a lie.
 
This site offers so much to inform you and to give you an opportunity to send a message to President Obama. 
 
I refer you back to my article of a few days ago, “Is Former President Ronald Reagan speaking to the American People from the grave? Please listen to these two videos and contact everyone you know to defeat this bill. http://www.examiner.com/x-7462-Atlanta-Faith--Family-Examiner~y2009m8d17-Is-Former-President-Ronald-Reagan-speaking-to-the-American-people-from-the-grave 
 
If you believe that every child, pre-born or born, has the right to the life that was created by God or if you believe that tax payers’ money should not be used as a form of birth control for women who choose to get pregnant and then choose to take the life of the child – then you need to speak up before this bill becomes law as MP David from England said in his speech before the Heritage Foundation.
 
He stated regarding health care in England said,
If you decide to do this thing, you can’t do it experimentally for a year or two and then change your mind if it doesn’t work out. That isn’t our experience…be absolutely certain before you make this change that you really do want to do it, because if it doesn’t work out, don’t imagine that people are then going to say: “Well, yeah; that’s alright; we’ll just go back to how it was.”
 
Contact your senators and representatives today – no matter what their stand is – encourage those who are taking a stand against this bill and ask those in favor to do what the people want – time, explanations, answers, and the right to be heard.

    Sorry, but arguing with zealots IS a waste of time.

    The woman accused a Jew of being a Nazi. What planet are YOU from that you would consider that a reasonable statement?

    Go crawl back under the rock.

    Reality:Part of the truth squad? I think I detect some anger here?? While I have friends who are of Jewish birth and faith-I would never offend anyone or lower myself to name calling-but for information there were Jews who were members of the Nazi party. Hitler had a Jewish heritage which he kept secret? Jews are people just like any other and capable of anything at anytime - we all sin and fall short of the glory of God. We all need a Savior-Jesus who is the ROCK. If you think it is a waste of time dealing with a Zealot-why did you bother? Mr.Frank has a reputation for being unreasonable and "un-cool" at times which has nothing to do with heritage but actions. Why do you attack those who speak the truth and with such anger? The difference in the lady and Mr. Frank is that he is an elected official and should have enough decorum and verbal skills to address a concerned citizen with better language skills. Alinsky Rule #12? God bless you and our nation. Facts/truth are stubborn things.
