Stop Charlie

As expected, flip-flopping pro-abortion-to-pro-life-to-pro-abortion again FL Gov. Charlie Crist vetoed the ultrasound bill today. According to USA Today:

crist.jpg

... Crist, who is running for the US Senate, has vetoed legislation that would have required a woman to get an ultrasound test before an abortion.

"This bill places an inappropriate burden on a woman seeking to terminate a pregnancy,'' Crist said in his veto message....

The measure would have required most women to have an ultrasound before having an abortion, unless the woman could prove she was a victim of rape, incest, domestic violence or human trafficking. Women could choose not to see the ultrasound or hear a description of it....

The FL GOP has put together a montage of Crist's statements on abortion throughout the years, showing shameless pandering for votes dependent on the political climate:

Let's hope voters, no matter what their opinion on abortion, see Crist as someone not to be trusted. Toward that end, this statement was just issued:

Family Research Council Action PAC unveiled a new website, www.stopcharlie.com, and a state-wide radio ad campaign in response to Governor Charlie Crist's veto of commonsense ultrasound legislation....

The radio ad [which can be heard at the website] will begin running state-wide early next week. The ad states, "Crist used to claim to be pro-life. Now he's just pro-Crist. Since leaving his party he's decided he'd rather be pro-abortion, removing the pro-life section from his website and vetoing a bill that would allow women to see an ultrasound of their child before having an abortion....

In contrast, Marco Rubio has been a true friend of the family and the culture of life as a state legislator in FL. Senators who will fight to defend the family against the radical leadership in the Senate are crucial to the future of our country....

Charlie Crist is the worst kind of despicable politician. And Marco Rubio is the best. Here's hoping the latter pummels the former on Election Day this November.

Every time you post that pic of Rubio, Jill, my heart goes aflutter. And I have to say to myself: He's married with kids . . . he's married with kids . . . he's married with kids . . .

Hi phillymiss,

Good for Charlie. My "Bubbie" and her friends from the local temple love Charlie Crist and this will endear him to them even more. In addition to being pro-choice (Yentas are loving it) he is showing effective leadership in handling the potential for environmental disaster (endangered species are really more important than fetuses in the long range scheme of ecological things) in Florida. BTW, Crist is married but he doesn't have kids - so what? Is the measure of a person their ability to reproduce. "Bubbie" and I say "Mazel Tov" to Charlie!!! And if the "lifers" want to kvetch - "feh."

Great news Sabra! Yeshua is your Messiah! He is your Passover Lamb! Repent from your sin, and He will give you LIFE!

"endangered species are really more important than fetuses in the long range scheme of ecological things"

Do you have any children or siblings Sabra? Does the thought of them being "terminated" in the womb bother you?

Just like our Illinois governors (Jill's recent WND column) Charlie is going to the well looking for "choice" cash and votes. Very predictable.

Sabra, does the Torah speak of the Holy Spirit? And if so, then does ot teach that the Holy Spirit is the giver of life? I don't expect an answer but if you really can share an honest answer regarding this scriptural basis for being "ok" with abortion, then I look forward to your response.

This bill wasn't just about the ultrasound measure, which has garnered the most attention. The bill also included language that would have prevented Florida taxpayers to pay for abortions under the healthcare monstrosity that was signed into law recently.

So thanks to Governor Flip Flop, taxpayer-funded abortions are coming to the Sunshine State.

It is my sincerest hope that when, not if, Big Daddy Rubio wins the senate seat, he will serve it to Charlie with the biggest bowl of black beans and rice this side of Havana.

Sabra, please provide the scripture passage that teaches you that infants are not "fully" human until they are born. If you cannot provide a specific passage to support your position then you blaspheme God.

Posted by: truthseeker at June 11, 2010 9:45 PM


In Rubio's words:

“Once again, Charlie Crist has put politics ahead of principled policy-making. Not only would this commonsense measure have provided women with vital information as they make a critical decision, but now Governor Crist’s veto also clears the way for taxpayer funding of abortion in Florida. This veto will now make it harder for Florida to fight ObamaCare, since the bill would have enabled our state to opt out of the abortion coverage mandate in the federal health care law."

Crist is just like dirty laundry flipping, flapping and flopping in the winds of political expediency.

When there ain't no breeze, Crist just hangs there aimless and limp.

Yo, 'yenta',

If you bear the name of Jew and rely upon the Law and pride yourselves in God and your relationship to Him, and know and understand His will and discerningly approve the better things and have a sense of what is vital, because you are instructed by the Law; and if you are confident that you [yourself] are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, and [that You are] a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the childish, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and truth —

Well then, you who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you teach against stealing, do you steal (take what does not really belong to you)?

You who say not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery [are you unchaste in action or in thought]? You who abhor and loathe idols, do you rob temples [do you appropriate to your own use what is consecrated to God, thus robbing the sanctuary and doing sacrilege]?

You who boast in the Law, do you dishonor God by breaking the Law [by stealthily infringing upon or carelessly neglecting or openly breaking it]?

For, as it is written, The name of God is maligned and blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you! [The words to this effect are from your own Scriptures.] [Isa 52:5; Ezek 36:20.]

"(endangered species are really more important than fetuses in the long range scheme of ecological things)"
--------------------------------------

I really don't know where these pro-aborts get this type of reasoning...Is there a school somewhere that they go to get this skewed reasoning implanted in their brains?

If endangered species are more important than people, and that humans should not be on this earth, why don't they "walk the walk" and offer themselves up to their cause??

Any takers? I rest my case.

This bill places an inappropriate burden on a woman seeking to terminate a pregnancy,'' Crist said in his veto message....


awww, shucks. Can't have women giving INFORMED consent now can we cuz we might "burden" them....??

gotta love those prochoice euphemisms though: "terminate a pregnancy".
My foot. :(

Sounds like he was living up to what the tea people want - less government involvement in daily lives...and most of the folks on this board were concerned about government getting between doctors and patients - so from that standpoint, the man just did what many of you wanted.

I can't wait to vote to throw this faker out on his ear, he's fake to the core starting with his cheeseball suntan. Allez! Vamos Marco! Stay conservative and send this bum packing!

ex gop big government is what charlie crist gave florida when he vetoed the bill. it would have been less government if he would have passed it. get your facts straight. he pass the bill the people in florida would not have to use tax dollars to fund abortions. now florida will be paying their taxes for women to get an abortion thanks to obamacare

Posted by: chris at June 12, 2010 12:45 PM


These words of Crist's are eerily familiar.....

"This bill places an inappropriate burden on a woman seeking to terminate a pregnancy," Crist said in his veto message

This is the law:

"In the event the baby removed is alive, a physician or other medical personnel attending the baby is required by law to provide the type and degree of care and treatment which in the good faith judgment of the physician is commonly provided to any other person under similar conditions and circumstances

Obama and Crist didn't stand by and watch numerous babies suffer and die. JILL did. And she did NOTHING. Even though the law states that she is SUPPOSED to.

She didn't call 911, she didn't end the baby's suffering with medication. She watched it suffer and die. This is very sick and twisted and disturbing and I can not believe she are blaming Barack Obama or ANYONE else when they have never done ANYTHING of the sort. But SHE has.

OBAMA voted for a law that clearly states that in the even the baby is born alive that SHE is supposed to care for it as any other baby. SHE did NOT and is broadcasting her accessory to murder all over the world.

And she did it ALL FOR A PAYCHECK!

Barack Obama TRUSTS that medical personnel will do the job they are being paid to do. Not sit by and watch babies suffer a slow, painful death.

"water is orange?"

Yum!

P.E.G.,

"good faith judgment of the physician"?
Does this mean the judgment of the 'physician' who minutes earlier meant to kill the child?

"similar conditions and circumstances"?
I can't think of one other similiar condition and circumstance that compares to a "physician" intentionally attempting kill a human other than Kevorkian and what happened to him? I also don't believe infants can request help committing suicide.

"end the baby's suffering with medication"? You really mean finish what the abortionist started. You admit a baby suffers terribly during (and sometimes after attempted abortion) but you express anger at someone who exposed what was going on and support those who hold the power to stop the suffering and killing.

You are the one who is very sick, twisted and disturbed.

Posted by: Praxedes at June 12, 2010 3:38 PM


P.E.G.

You're all twisted and discombobulated with your "version of reality".

Jill offered the only comfort she could to a preemie with underdeveloped lungs, because the idiot with the medical degree failed in his attempt to kill the child.

Either you're very confused, or just a stupid troll.

Either way, get help.

I'm irritated at the media and Crist for lying about the florida ultrasound amendment.

While it requires the woman to pay for an ultrasound, and the low resolution ones used for this purpose are cheap, it does not require her to look at the pics or even hear the interpretation. The mother can choose to sign off on this to avoid it, as I did for all three of my alpha feto-protein tests. The sonogram can be avoided altogether in specified cases of supposed "emergency" or if the women has been raped, according to the amendment.

The required sonogram would be useful to prevent a host of abortion errors from missed ectopic to bad estimates of fetal age.

Follow June 12 postings on my above linked blog to find a link to the actual Florida ultrasound amendment, so you can see it for yourself.

ex GOP:
"Sounds like he was living up to what the tea people want - less government involvement in daily lives...and most of the folks on this board were concerned about government getting between doctors and patients - so from that standpoint, the man just did what many of you wanted."

If a governor were to sign legislation permitting pornographers to sell child porn, thereby giving porn merchants what the "tea party people want--less government in their daily lives", for some reason I don't think even you would really believe that is what tea partiers want.

In case you were not aware of it tea partiers are for the legitimate exercise of government powers, for example laws protecting us against captital offenses and good enforcement of those laws. For many tea partiers government's interest in protecting the right to life is self evident.

As to keeping the government out of the relationship between patient and doctor--if indeed you are concerned about that--I hope you opposed Obamacare. It is interesting that the "choicers" fell silent on that. The mantra "keeping government out of the relationship between patient and doctor" should have been heard from all "choice" quarters re Obamacare. But it was not heard because the reality is that "choicers" do want more government control. We see acceptance in leftist circles about controlling everything from who is given what medical attention (primarily aimed at end of life) to limiting the size of families. The exception to the rule is of course when something comes along that may limit access to abortion at which time these same leftists want less government.

Does anybody have 3 brain cells that visits this site?

Anyone who goes to work and sees more than ONE baby die in such a manner and doesn't report it has a SERIOUS problem.

Put yourself in her shoes....you go to work and a baby that is NOT supposed to be delivered alive is alive. And suffering.....FOR HOURS!! And you just go home, watch Nancy Grace then get up and go to work again.

You do not SEE the problem with this? She talks about seeing this done numerous times! HELLO?????

I would have been at the police station the first day I witnessed an infant suffering in a dirty store room for an 8 hour shift.

I APPLAUD her for FINALLY letting it be known. But what the heck took so long???

How are you people missing this part??

I applaud a child molester who finally turns himself in but that does not make his previous crimes okay. Just like Jill's are NOT okay. She was a WITNESS to this madness and did NOTHING until it would bring her MONEY & FAME an a chance to slam a black President who she hates. Plain & simple.

Barack Obama signed a law that stated that the VERY thing she is describing would NOT happen! he is not OKAY with this! But apparently Jill was for a while because she is the one who went to work repeatedly watching it take place.

Wake up people!

Posted by: Pearl E. Gates at June 13, 2010 5:42 PM


P.E.G.

Do you think abortion should be illegal?

A yes or no answer will suffice.

Posted by: Praxedes at June 13, 2010 6:16 PM


PEG,
I think you are the one who needs to wake up. Start by stopping the drinking the BHO kool-aid.
BHO and his wife Michelle spent their political energies holding fundraisers to try and keep partial birth abortion legal...and he would still look you in the eye and say abortion is a wrenching moral decision. So he is ok with puncturing a baby's skull with a scissors and then sucking the babies brans out in order to make sure born alive infants don't inconvenience their mother's choice. He really seems tgo have compassion for those women who get burdened with babies.

Posted by: truthseeker at June 13, 2010 9:06 PM


Pearl E Gates, your post is filled with inaccuracy (lies) which are very easily discernable by the millions who know how long Jill Stanek has been at this pro-life gig.

The clip of Obama opposing the born alive infants protection act of ILLINOIS is on the naked emperor news and right here: http://www.jillstanek.com/infanticide/baipaobamamp3.html

I'm eager to see which bill Obama signed protecting infants surviving abortion. Link please?

Posted by: pharmer at June 13, 2010 11:24 PM


PEG emailed me Saturday, and as I responded to her, Obama did not ever vote for Born Alive. He voted "present" before voting "no" 4x.

PEG wrote, "She didn't call 911, she didn't end the baby's suffering with medication. She watched it suffer and die."

The baby I held was not viable. He was b/t 21-22 weeks old. His lungs weren't mature. Nor would I ever have ended his suffering with medication. I did the only humanitarian thing possible at that point. I held and rocked him until he died.

PEG wrote, "I would have been at the police station the first day I witnessed an infant suffering in a dirty store room for an 8 hour shift."

It was 45 minutes, and we requested the Attorney General of IL to conduct an investigation. He determined after an 8 month delay that Christ Hospital was breaking no law, hence the need to introduce the Born Alive Infants Protection Act in IL.

PEG wrote, "he was a WITNESS to this madness and did NOTHING until it would bring her MONEY & FAME an a chance to slam a black President who she hates."

First, no one knew who Barack Obama was in 2001, 2002, and 2003 when I was testifying before various committees on which he sat as state senator and when he was opposing Born Alive.

About the fame... I wrote a letter to the hospital in July 1999 privately asking it to stop. When it wouldn't I asked influential people and organizations to privately appeal to the hospital to stop. The goal was to rectify the situation quietly and quickly. No one in their wildest dreams could have imagined how the situation would explode after I finally went public.

Nor could anyone have anticipated the dismal character who spearheaded opposition to Born Alive in the state senate would one day run for president.

About the money... Not that it's any of your business, but I've made about 1/2 of my nursing salary since going full-time into pro-life speaking 9 years ago, with no benefits. With my Life Prizes award in 2009 I formed an LLC with a fellow blogger so no one could sue us personally by what we publicly wrote, and the remaining award thankfully has helped me keep my head above water here (including hiring a wonderful administrative assistant to help) so my husband no longer has to pay expenses. I say none of this to complain but simply to set the record straight. I am very passionate, committed, and driven to do what I do and thank God for the opportunity to get in this game, despicable as it is.
