Death Panels and Obamacare

I came across an article "Congressman Gary Peter's Lawyers Up to Silence Julie Boonstra" Here Remember when Sarah Palin talked about Death Panels deciding who lives and who dies? Well here we are.

It is beyond what I even thought possible. Ever watch the movie "The Ten Commandments"? Here. History repeats itself. How far have we come? Still killing babies. Infanticide? In fact, in the Netherlands it's a logical extension of that country’s euthanasia license. A bureaucratic check list has even been published, including in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, known as the Groningen Protocol, by which Dutch neonatologists determine which disabled babies qualify to be euthanized. In America it is the same with prenatal testing encouraging a parent of a baby that may have an imperfection aborted. Or maybe just kill the baby to end its life because of inconvenience to the mother. If as a Country we kill our babies, how long was it going to take to kill those that have an imperfection? Julie Boonstra is sick. She has cancer. Congressman Gary Peters Lawyers up to silence her. Julie should die Congressman Peters? Are you part of the death panel? Yes you are. As are all that voted and enabled Obamacare to be voted into our Nation. You remember our Nation, the One Nation Under God.

Today at Mass I was distressed over much of this and as this was one of the readings, it jumped out at me The First Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians:
3:16 Know you not, that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you ?

3:17 But if any man violate the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.

3:18 Let no man deceive himself: if any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: I will catch the wise in their own craftiness.

3:20 And again: The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

3:21 Let no man therefore glory in men.

3:22 For all things are yours, whether it be Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or the future; for all are yours;

3:23 And you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

So as disgusted as I am over what is happening and as I pray for so many under attack of the evil one, I am confident that The Lord Knoweth and will continue with my eyes on the crucifix.

Don't Judge a Special Needs Family

Have you ever been misunderstood? Have you ever tried to do the right thing and have a whole bunch of wicked come hurling at you? What did you do? Did you start to endlessly explain your motives so it could be twisted by the few people that dislike you? Or did you stay silent? Staying silent is not my strong point, thus the blog.;) When I became pregnant with Looly (Kate), I noticed some big changes within myself. I had to fight to keep her alive because of a difficult pregnancy. Then at the end of my pregnancy I had to fight to keep us both alive. Then we were told Looly had Down Syndrome. At that time, we were grateful to God that she was alive and later we were thanking God that her heart was healthy and there was no neurological damage. She just has Down Syndrome. Just Down Syndrome. Say those words...just Down Syndrome. That is what I do, I simplify difficult things, then reflect and think I'm crazy. I was connected to this child at conception. I begged God to let me car...

Finding Peace with Kate

Today I realized something amazing has happened. I found peace. Every weekday morning Kate happily gets out of bed EXCITED to go to school. She loves it so much and so do we. When we walk into school in the morning she can barely contain herself, waiting for her teacher to come and take her to class. She smiles bigley! For the first time since I was pregnant with her I am not worried about her. We see her changing so much! She is calmer. She is more engaged. She is listening to directions and she is so loving. To not worry about Kate is so new and so peaceful. The teachers and all the workers are so kind and caring. We knew this school was a perfect fit. Trinity and I witnessed a very stressful event with a child in the parking lot, one morning. The school was so on top of it and expertly handled the incident professionally and lovingly. To work full-time with special needs children, you need a loving heart. That is all I see. I see parents that want so much for their ...

Aborting Down Syndrome Babies

I read this article this morning. As I read the comments from parents that said they would abort their baby if they found out it was going to have Down Syndrome, it occurred to me what a different conversation there would be if they didn't know they were going to have a baby with Down Syndrome. These people would learn that they were given a gift. The comment "I would have a very hard time dealing with a retarded child. Retardation is relative, it could be so negligible that the child is normal, or so severe that the child has nothing… All of the sharing things you want to do, the things you want to share with a child – that, to me, is the essence of being a father. There would be a big void that I would feel. I would feel grief, not having what I consider a normal family." Let's talk about this statement. If you had a "retarded" child, the first thing you would do, is stop using that word. You have a child that has Down Syndrome. This is not who t...
