ABORTION IS MURDER AND YOU WILL BE PUNISHED BY GOD.

LINDA PENDERGAST of CA 5:31PM September 17, 2009

That's right, liberal women love abortion because they are incapable of being good mothers. Let's face it, to be a good mother you need to be selfless and liberal women are incapable of this. To kill an innocent child goes against the very nature of a woman's nurturing instincts. That is why they are so ashamed and sad, because these instincts escape them and they can't get them. This is why liberal women crave abortion, it balances their sick and twisted abnormal lives. The truth hurts I know, but this needed to be said.Have a good day everyone.

The Health Care Bill does not exclude abortion funding.

Abortion is slaughter of 3200 babies a day and 1.2 Million a year in American.

Abortion is the #1 cause of death in America.

In 36 years America has slaughter 9 times more babies to abortion than all the people Hitler killed in concentration camps. Abortion is a holocaust.

This is the Truth as written by a christian. This is not a Republican, Democrat, Independent issue. It is a moral issue and question about what America sees as most important. Our wants and comfort for health care should not leave the door open for the slaughter of abortion.

If there were no hidden agenda to support abortion then it would simple be explicit in the bill. They could write it in easy. They could write: Abortion will in no way be supported or funded by this bill.

They are attempting to hide the support of abortion and don't want to address it because it is ugly. America is better than this and the majority of us don't want abortion as part of our health care plan. We know it is wrong.

Stand firm until they are explicit with wording in the bill that abortion is not in the Health Care Bill.

Abortion is not health care. Abortion is war against Life. Abortion is wrong.

An unborn baby is the weakest, poorest, most depended, most needy, and least of our people. How do we treat our poor? Do they get a choice? Do we show them Love?

Love does not destroy.

This is the Truth that Christian Leaders are speaking. They are telling the Truth to protect Life.

Seek the Truth. Speak the Truth. Share the Truth. Defend the Truth.

The Truth will set us free.

Respect, Protect, and Love Life.

There are 3200 babies being slaughtered a day and 1.2 Million a year in American.

The #1 cause of death in America is abortion. It is higher than cancer, heart disease, murder, accidents, and all leading causes of death. Information Source is Center for Disease Control

The slaughter of unborn babies, the weakest, poorest, and least of our people is wrong.

I believe most people are in favor of helping the poor with health care but not at the expense of allowing abortions to be funded. The only thing that stops abortions from being funded is the Hyde Amendment that gets approved by a vote each year.

The health care bill does not exclude abortion as a medical procedure and leaves it completely open for the Hyde to be voted down. Abortion is not health care and should be explicitly not allowed in the heath bill.

The Truth is they wanted to leave it open to allow for future expansion of abortion.

President Obama promised planned parenthood that he would sign the freedom of choice act which supports abortion.

The truth will set us free and unless it is explicit that the health care bill will in no way support or fund abortion the the bill is open to support and fund abortions.

It would be easy to write abortion out of the bill if they were being honest. They have not.

Abortion is slaughter of the least of our people.

Seek the Truth. Speak the Truth. Share the Truth. Defend the Truth.

Love does not destroy Life.

Love Life.

There is nothing in President Obama's health reform bill that would pay for abortions. It is a lie put out by the insurance companies to kill your chance for health care. The Republicans spread the lie because they care more about "bringing Obama down" so they can insure their re-elections than they do about providing health care for your and your children.

Death panels and ethunasia are not and have never been in Obama's health plan. This is another outrageous lie put out by the insurance companies and spread by the Republicans for the purpose of fooling you out of your own health care and destroying Obama to improve their own interests of re-election and a pay-back to the insurers who have given them millions of dollars.

The booklet for the veterans about end-of-life was put out by the Bush administration, not Obama. My brother is a veteran and has the booklet. Its very good. There is nothing that encourages a veteran to end his life. That is a lie. Obama wanted to help the veterans by paying for the consultation with their doctors, if the veteran asked for one. Without this the veteran and his family have to pay themselves for the information about hospice, and what their options are to get good care for their veteran who is not going to improve. It is and was always an option. The man who first put out this lie has also written an end of life booklet. He wants the VA to toss out the other booklet and buy his. He stood to gain a great deal of money if he could fool the public with his lie.

I am a senior citizen and I can tell you the insurance companies have put out some whoppers to scare seniors. Obama's plan would cut that donut hole in half, you remember the one the Republicans put in when they "fixed" medicare? That would save Seniors almost two thousand dollars in charges. Again there is no provision to ethunasize seniors and there never was. It is a lie deliberately put out by the insurance companies to fool seniors in an effort to kill health care reform. Obama is not going to take our coverage away from us. He's going to streamline the system to save 500 billion of waste in the system. It won't affect your care at all. If anything it will probably improve it.

The insurance companies are paying 1.4 million every day to kill health care. They have given all our legislators billions of dollars to kill health care. They pay their CEO's billions. They do this with the money they stole from you with high premiums and denying you coverage. They intend to raise your premiums by 125%. That's why they are against the public option. We could pay for every man, woman, and child's health coverage for the next 20 years and more with the money they've given to the legislators and their CEO"s and upper level management. Quit believing their lies. Obama is the only one who cares about you and is being honest with you. He's the only one you should trust.

How dare you suggest that President Obama and the Left are making money off abortions when a Republican Bill Frist who was supposedly anti-abortion was making money off his abortion clinics. I know all about this delusion from a woman who is married to a Republican strategist. She says the biggest joke in their private clubs is the abortion issue. They slap pro-life labels on their foreheads and use the churches to get themselves elected. They have no intention of ending abortion and their greatest fear is that they might become illegal. It is a ticket to office for them and so many of them privately encourage their girlfriends to get them.

They aren't interested in saving unborn babies' lifes, they just get on the bandwagon that only extends abortion, that is, making it illegal when the majority of the people are for choice. Even in countries where it is illegal they've found that these countries have as many and more abortions than they did before it was illegal.

A Catholic study for the common good showed that the real reason women get abortions is because of economic distress. That's the reason that abortions decreased greatly during President's Clintons term and increased greatly when during President Bush's term. After his first term, they quit keeping track of those numbers and I suspect it was because it was an embarrasement.

Kathleen Sebelius, formerly the governor of Kansas and a Democrat, reduced abortions by 10% saving thousands of the unborn because of her good economic sense. Personally she is against abortion but she is for the right of a woman to make that choice. Because of that, instead of getting a medal for saving the lives of babies, she was encouraged to refrain from communion.

If you really want to end abortion I suggest you support health reform, minimum wage, labor unions, fair wages, education, child care, and help to working/non-working mothers. My son was laid off and lost his health care. The insurance company wants over $1,000/mo to continue his health care. His job didn't pay enough for him to afford that when he was working. He has a 2 yr old and a pregnant wife. She has health problems and needs pre-natal health care. He is desparate and she is near hysterical. He's having a problem getting any unemployment insurance and has been doing everything he can think of to make a little money. There's more but the point is, they don't have the $20,000. or more it costs to have a baby. It's much, much cheaper to have an abortion and it could jeapordize her life along with the baby if she doesn't get health care.

For you sanctimonious people out there who believe that Obama is personally responsible for a woman's decision to abort her baby, I say that each and every one of you who are against Obama's health reform bill are not only guilty of the murder of the 18,000 Americans who have to die every year because they don't have health care. You may be guilty of my grandbaby's death as well.

The media loves going after Republicans for there ties with big oil but they simply ignore the democrats ties to the lucrative abortion industry and how this industry supports them with abortion money. Liberals simply ignore this. They demonize the influence that big oil has and then will turn their backs when big abortion does the same thing. You people are sick and twisted and so is the power thirsty President you put in office. Turning your back on these children and then profitting from their agonizing deaths, is the definition 0f evil. The saddest part about this is that the liberals support all pf this and then they sleep like babies at night, which in my opinion proves that they do not have a conscious.

Not A Chance it will reduce them.

Open your eyes people: Obama and the radical left need abortion. These abortion factories make hundred's of millions of dollars a year from killing babies and then they line the pockets of guys like Obama to insure that their factories stay open. NARAL owns this president, not quite to the extent that Soros does, but they own him. Anyway, the shameless media will spin their way but the facts remain, the baby killing business is too lucrative to the Obama's and Pelosi's to be regulated. And therefore they will keep their power and their abortion well intact.
