Someone call the president! Stupak says executive order bars contraceptive mandate

Greta Van Susteren interviewed former Congressman Bart Stupak last night to get his take on the Obama administration’s new mandate forcing religious institutions to cover contraception, abortifacients, and sterilization in their employee insurance plans.

Pro-lifers will have no trouble remembering Stupak as the leader of a group of pro-life Democrats who signed on to Obamacare in 2009 after President Obama wrote an executive order attempting to allay pro-life concerns that taxpayer funded abortions might be hidden in the bill.

But pro-lifers were not alone in saying the executive order was worth the paper it was written on. So did such renowned abortion proponents as Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards and former Obama Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Stupak echoed former colleague Kathy Dahlkemper’s recent contention that the executive order not only protects taxpayers from funding abortion but also protects religious healthcare entities from the contraception mandate.

Someone needs to call the president.
 

 
Stupak’s response here is incorrect (and frustrating) but relevant…

Pro-life Democrat who voted for Obamacare has regrets?

I would have never voted for the final version of the bill if I expected the Obama Administration to force Catholic hospitals and Catholic Colleges and Universities to pay for contraception….

We worked hard to prevent abortion funding in health care and to include clear conscience protections for those with moral objections to abortion and contraceptive devices that cause abortion. I trust that the President will honor the commitment he made to those of us who supported final passage.

When even Chris Matthews opposes Obama’s contraceptive mandate, you know it’s in trouble

When even infamously liberal Catholic and Obama worshipper Chris “Thrill Up My Leg” Matthews has problems with the Obama administration’s mandate forcing religious institutions to cover contraception, abortifacients, and sterilization in their insurance policies, you know it’s in trouble.

“It gets to that interesting point to me, which is frightening, when the state tells the church what to do,” said Matthews February 7 on MSNBC’s Hardball…

 The Obama administration counted on liberal Catholics supporting the mandate. Liberal Catholics may indeed think the Church should condone contraception, but they do not like the idea of the government telling the Church to condone contraception, as this new Rasmussen poll indicates.

WashPo: Contraceptive insurance mandate due to waning abortion support?

All of us agree the Obama administration’s decision to force religious institutions to cover contraception and abortifacients in insurance policies was to keep his liberal feminist voting bloc happy and further line the pockets of Planned Parenthood. That’s kind of a “duh.”

But Sarah Kliff of the Washington Post pitched a new theory today I found most interesting. Knowing Kliff is a friend to the abortion lobby made her thought that much more intriguing:

  • In the UK, the mother of girl who was impregnated at 14 by an older man warned other mothers:

    It was bad enough to find out what had happened but even worse to find out she was pregnant. It was a nightmare to see my daughter go through the pain of an abortion, and she is still quite ill and has been suffering from depression.

  • Police are investigating the case of a stillborn child who was thrown in a dumpster in Maryland.

Lunch Break: A JFK Masterpiece reading from Bruce and Dan

by LauraLoo

WARNING: Adult content not suitable for children.

A few days ago the media released details on yet another mistress of the late President John F. Kennedy.  This time, a teen intern virgin named Mimi Alford caught JFK’s fancy only four days into her internship.  Mimi was 19 years old while President Kennedy was 45 years old when the affair started. 

Now, 50 years later, Mimi releases her memoir.  (I wonder why she waited so long.)

While the subject of fornication/adultery is no laughing matter, listen to Bruce Wolf and Dan Proft of WLS 890AM Chicago as they humorously recreate the seduction of JFK to Mimi in a Masterpiece reading.  Dan’s deadpan voice role as “Mimi” is a riot.

Comedy Central features Gen Y pro-lifers

Recently, liberals have been poking fun at the website Until Abortion Ends, where pro-lifers commit to giving up something they like – until abortion ends.

Last night Marion Jones, the daughter of beloved pro-life activist and Until Abortion Ends originator Jason Jones, was asked to appear on the Comedy Central show Tosh.O to explain why she is relinquishing her iPod until abortion ends.

Marion was absolutely amazing. I was so proud of her, a real chip off the old block.  Never mind show host Daniel Tosh. We’ve grown used to tasteless attempts to make abortion funny. I simply appreciate that he featured our topic. Marion was more than up to him, articulate and personable and near the end delivering a poignant – and I’m sure unexpected – heart grabber about how abortion has personally affected her. And Marion’s friends were great, too!
 

 
The pro-life baton is being passed to those who are more than able. Their generation will see the end of abortion.
