Boston Brown throws women under the bus

Sen. Scott Brown joins GOP push against Obama's revised birth control policy

President Obama's "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" rubs Republican's the wrong way.

What did Boston Brown sign ? The "Respect for Rights of Conscience Act of 2011"!

Brown joins 37 Republican co-sponsors. Nebraska Democrats are a bit different.

One Mr. Benjamin Nelson, a senator, has signed on, to support of the bill.

The bill Brown is backing doesn't limit exclusions to religious institutions or entities.

Critics of the bill charge that it is too wide-sweeping in nature and would create anarchy

in the health care field with employers denying coverage for any treatment they wish

under the guise of a faith-based conflict.

A little deception, a little hidden bomb? How unlike those honest and forthright Republicans. /end sarcasm

Did they bother to tell their Religious Right friends, that they are using the Right to Life issues to throw everyone under the bus?

Boston Brown's Republican Hypocrite quote-

"It's elitist for Elizabeth Warren to dictate to religious people about what they should believe and how they should act."

How elitist is it, for a small amount of men to dictate what women in America should do with their bodies?

Does anyone remember the HR 358, the "Let Women Die" Act of 2011 ?

Yes. That bill would allow doctors and hospitals to "exercise their conscience" by

letting pregnant women facing emergency medical conditions die.

Under current law (through the 2004 Weldon amendment), hospitals, health care facilities, and

insurance plans can refuse to provide, pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for abortions.

H.R. 358 would overturn decades of precedent guaranteeing people access to lifesaving emergency care,

including abortion care and says its OK that a pregnant woman fighting for her life be left to die.

In the meantime, Republicans are looking to use tax dollars to pay for highly invasive equipment in their Pro-Life "health centers."

Fetus does not have a heart beat? Open your legs up wide for a forced procedure. It's rules and regulations, you must comply.

You would'nt deny a Religious business a little profit, would you little lady? Your money, your body, or it's off to prison for you!

Religious businesses are allowed to invest in for- profit, privately owned prisons, don'tcha know?

*wink* *wink* Spasm *wink*

Legislation that has advanced on the strength of a GOP majority (in the Virginia legislature)
would force women to undergo a “trans-vaginal ultrasound” that produces fetal images
(prior to obtaining an early-term abortion)

A bill the sole purpose of which is to mandate the forcible, medically unnecessary invasion
of a woman's vagina as the price -- the attempt at forced shame -- for terminating a pregnancy.

Whatever a person's views on abortion might be, this is an assault of a different order. It is one thing
to believe that abortion should be restricted; it is quite another to use the law to impose humiliation and
invasion upon women who seek out the procedure. A person cannot enact such a law without
embracing a willful disregard for the personhood and dignity of all women.

Who's life? Who's liberty? Who's freedom? Who's health? Who's well being? Who's pursuit of happiness?

We have the right to rape your vagina with a machine, because there might be a viable fetus in your womb? It's the law?

Why the Republican embrace of just one Catholic issue is the height of hypocrisy

February 15, 201 The Issue at hand-

Catholic institutions, such as universities and hospitals, should be required to offer its workers

the option of obtaining birth control as part of employee health insurance.

Catholic social teaching — when considered in its entirety

— is a bit more complicated than just saying no to condoms or the morning-after pill.

Consider the following positions, all of which represent the official Catholic party line:

• Universal health care should be the right of every American. Yes, the church opposes choice and birth control.
( But, unlike the GOP, it considers health care a God-given right.)

• The death penalty is a moral abomination to Catholics. (Tell that to Republicans in Texas, who seem to have a bloodlust for executions. )

• Catholics believe that needy families deserve welfare as a basic condition of human dignity.
(Is that an idea that Rick Santorum — himself a Catholic — can endorse?)

• Catholics believe America's national minimum wage should be increased.
(There's an idea that should send a shiver up Mitt Romney's spine — if he has one. )

• Catholics believe Undocumented Aliens should not be treated as criminals,
and the contribution of illegal immigrants should be recognized by all.
(Would Rush Limbaugh consider this a valid political idea?)

• Catholics believe that workers have "basic rights" that include fair and
decent wages, safe working conditions, and the right to unionize.

(Republicans have fought this principle since the New Deal of the 1930s.)

• In the realm of foreign policy-

Catholics believe that preventative war is wrong and the invasion of Iraq was a travesty. (So much for the Neocons.)

Republican support for the Catholic Church's anti-birth-control holy war is nothing more than gross hypocrisy.

Conservatives are holding to a hard line against any form of birth control,

crying that the constitutional provision of freedom of religion has been abrogated.

Conservative clergy, all men, would do well to remember that American bishops support the separation of church and state.

No woman or man, after all, is compelled to practice birth control or family planning.

(The Catholic view seems to include mercy and kindness- and sensible choices,
that the Church forgives. Like using birth control and having an abortion.)

{How kind and merciful is it to refuse a person in need of medical care, from the moment they are assisted into the hospital.
The staff would have a right to refuse to attend to them, or do any paper work, or contact anyone, on behalf of the
person on need. Anyone! That is what would happen, if the Republicans get their way.

Is this another one of those hidden bombs that Republicans are concealing?}

A hospital can refuse patients that might take profits out of their pocket, and a new law on the books, will give them a legal leg to stand on,
while they use the other leg to boot unprofitable patients out of their waiting rooms?
