Sebelius’ HHS nomination to be aborted for her fringe abortion views?
The White House has made it no secret pro-abortion KS Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is in the running for HHS Secretary.
Sebelius is closely linked to Wichita late-term abortionist George Tiller, trying to clog any prosecutorial wheels of justice against him and even hosting a secret soirée in his honor at the mansion.
Sebelius has committed many more anti-life dastardly deeds, which Operation Rescue has extensively chronicled here, including orders from her Catholic bishop to walk on by the Eucharist without partaking.
Now comes this tidbit from CBN News:
A senior Obama administration official [says]… concerns voiced by pro-life groups about… Sebelius have come up in high level White House discussions but it has not disqualified her from the job….
The discussion inside the White House centers on whether Sebelius’s stellar record as public servant trumps the controversy that could arise over Tiller….
If Sebelius is nominated, a Senate GOP Aide up on the Hill tells The Brody File the following:
“Her nomination would raise serious concerns because her extremist pro-abortion views are so far outside of the American mainstream.”
The Obama administration is going to have to make a calculation as to whether the positive attributes of Sebelius outweigh a potential eruption over abortion. I mean look…everybody knows the Obama administration is going to nominate a pro-choice HHS Secretary. That’s a no brainer. But if they go with Sebelius will her past record become a major distraction or just a blip on the radar? Would they rather save the potential fight over abortion for a Supreme Court Nominee? Tough choice considering Sebelius seems like the perfect fit for the Obama administration.
Of course the WH isn’t concerned with Sebelius’ actual pro-abortion views and actions, just the public price to pay if they are aired. Congratulations to Phill Kline, Troy Newman, and Cheryl Sullenger for pro-life jobs well done.

Has she paid her taxes? If not, she’s probably a shoe-in.
Fed Up,
Nice one!
It is not just about tax. She does have a great supporter with a criminal record. Dr tiller is enough of a crook to give her the edgieness that Oba-Mao seeks
“Sebelius has committed many more anti-life dastardly deeds”
Thats a positive for this administration..
Let’s recap some of the other choices BO made for cabinet:
1. The new Attorney General, Eric Holder, worked for a law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo terrorists.
2.The CIA Boss, Leon Penetta has absolutely no experience for the job.
3. The Treasury Secretary “forgot” to pay his taxes.
4. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges.
5. A Labor Secretary nominee withdrew under charges of unethical conduct.
6. A HHS nominee withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes.
7. Another Commerce Secretary withdraws as he realizes he cannot work for this administration.
8. The lawyer for Michael Schiavo now has a high ranking position at the Justice Dept.
And that is in just a matter of weeks.
Sebelius would be perfect for this administration, but can they withstand yet another scandal?
The only good I could possibly see is that if she becomes HSS she won’t be running for the open Kansas senate seat in 2010.

FAIL!
George Bush started a war that has killed 4000 american men and women. I think you’re letting your partisanship loose sight of your humanity – or are people dying for nothing in Iraq and Afganistan?

YLT,
To quote Ronald Reagan, “There you go again.”
You are entitled to your opinion, you are not entitled to your facts.
One of conclusions of the 911 commission is that the terrorist were at war with us, while we were not at war with them.
That informed conclusion contradicts your ‘opinion’ that Bush started the war.
Bush and the United States did not respond militarily until after 3,000 American civilians were killed in one day. Maybe that event escaped your notice.
Google 911 or 9/11.
Bush did not act unilatterally. He had the approval of Congress and of the majority of the American people to take action against Afghanistan and Iraq.
Saddam Hussein in Iraq had pre-existing problems with the United Nations. Even that loony body had authorized action against Iraq for their repeated refusals to comply with sanctions levied against them after Iraq had invaded Kuawait.
You are entitled to your opinion that “people died for nothing in Iraq and Afghanistan”. But it is only an opinion.
History will makes it judgement. The jury is still out.

YLT,
We grieve, too, for the loss of life of our servicemen and women. As an active duty Army veteran, I can assure you that when we ENLIST (choose to serve our country) we know that that is a possible outcome. This is a pro-life blog, and so our immediate concern addressed here is the 4000 lives taken daily in the U.S., people who certainly did not expect to be dismembered in what should be the safety of their mothers’ wombs.
Your post would have (perhaps) held more water had you mentioned the civilian casualties of war, human beings who also deserved better than a violent and abrupt end to their lives.
