Good Cheer At The Gas Pump

These three statements tell you a lot about our government and our culture: 


1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works. 


2. We constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about Welfare running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't. 


3. The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing this year the greatest amount of free Meals and Food Stamps ever --- to 47 million people, as of the most recent figures available in 2013. Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." The stated reason for this policy is because "The animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."

Thus Ends Today's Lesson On Irony

President Barack Obama’s budget sends hundreds of millions of dollars to the Planned Parenthood abortion business — but that’s not the only concern it presents for pro-life advocates.

Yesterday, President Obama sent his proposed FY 2015 budget to Congress. Despite the fact that most parents of teens, whether Democrat or Republican, favor the abstinence approach, the president proposed the elimination of every sexual risk avoidance program, while continuing every sex education program that normalizes teen sex.

“By eliminating SRA (sexual risk avoidance) abstinence programs in his budget, the President has, once again chosen to ignore the wishes of parents and the approach that helps youth avoid all risk associated with teen sex. This is truly unfortunate, but not at all surprising. President Obama has sought to cut or eliminate SRA abstinence programs each year of his presidency. This – despite a growing body of research showing its effectiveness,” stated Valerie Huber, President of NAEA.

Huber tells LifeNews Obama’s FY 2015 budget will only increase the current 1:16 disparity between SRA abstinence education and so-called “comprehensive’’ sex education. She says that is despite the fact that nearly 7 in 10 Democratic parents would like to see more equality in funding for abstinence education and almost 60% specifically oppose the president’s efforts to eliminate SRA funding.

“In addition, since the CDC reports that nearly 75% of teens targeted for sex education classes (age 15-17) are not sexually active, one would expect federal sex education policy to reinforce the good decisions the majority of teens are making and encourage more teens to make the same healthy choices. Sadly, the President’s recent budget ignores these compelling facts,” Huber said.

Research shows that students benefit from SRA abstinence programs, regardless of their sexual experience, or lack thereof.  Students in successful SRA programs are more likely to delay sex than their peers, if sexually active, to discontinue sex or have fewer partners and are no less likely to use a condom.

According to Huber “Parents favor the abstinence approach because they recognize that it is much more than a ‘just say no’ approach. SRA abstinence education reaches youth where they live and addresses issues they are concerned about. Parents don’t want their children to have a false sense of security from those who equate ‘safe sex’ with a condom or who make teen sex seem inevitable and risk-free. Parents want the best health outcomes for their children, so it is no surprise that they favor sexual risk avoidance programs.”

Although    most political analysts declare this budget even more “dead on arrival” than previous ones, NAEA calls on Congress to ignore the President’s sex education policy recommendations and instead choose the common sense position of supporting SRA abstinence programs and the positive results they are achieving among youth.

(CNSNews.com) – Calling the Obama administration “the most tone deaf to religious liberty issues in recent memory,” Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput warned that religious freedom in the U.S. is “at risk,” and that “the more government mandates evil action, the more likely civil disobedience becomes.”

Last February, Chaput urged his fellow prelates to take the “right action…whatever the cost” regarding the Health and Human Services’ contraceptive mandate, which requires nearly all insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act to pay for sterilization, contraceptives, and abortion-inducing drugs.

Due to “an unfriendly political class” and believers’ own apathy, Chaput told CNSNews.com, “government pressure on religious communities has clearly increased.” Which is why, he says, that religious freedom must not be taken for granted, but be “vigorously defended” in the nation’s courts and state houses.

CNSNews.com: Gen. [William] Boykin (Ret.)  recently said that ‘Given our nation’s history as a country formed in large part by communities fleeing religious persecution, the principle of religious freedom has long stood as a core national ideal, enshrined in the Bill of Rights and guaranteed to all Americans.’ Do you think that this ‘core national ideal’ is now at risk?

Archbishop Chaput: “I think President Obama’s recent prayer breakfast comments about religious freedom were interesting but also curious, because in practice, the people who staff his administration have been the most tone deaf to religious liberty issues in recent memory. There’s a very odd disconnect in praising religious freedom while the Justice Department goes after the Little Sisters of the Poor.

"So yes, religious freedom is one of our core national ideals, and yes, it’s at risk from two sources: an unfriendly political class, and our own distracted attention and indifference."

CNSNews.com: Are Christians being persecuted for their beliefs in the U.S.?

Archbishop Chaput: “'Persecuted' is a big word. We’re not in Pakistan or North Korea. But it would be very unwise to ignore the implications of government coercion like the HHS mandate, or the misuse of the IRS, or political and judicial attacks on the nature of marriage.

"Government pressure on religious communities has clearly increased in our country in recent years. The United States has no magic immunity attached to its liberties. The Constitution, as great as it is, is still just a piece of paper unless people vigorously protect their rights.

"For religious believers, that means defending their faith in the courts and legislatures. It also means living their faith with joy and conviction, publicly as well as privately."

CNSNews.com: What should Catholics do in the face of government mandates that would force them to act against key tenets of the Faith?

Archbishop Chaput: "Catholics have a duty to respect legitimate authority and pray for our political leaders, whether we personally care for them or not. The Church seeks to cooperate with public officials because we’re a community of citizens as well as believers.

“But there are limits, and the more that government mandates evil actions, the more likely civil disobedience becomes,” Chaput added.

The statement at the end of this article by Margaret Sanger (founder of Planned Parenthood) says it all about why they establish their Health Care (abortion) facilities in poor neighborhoods, especially Black and Hispanic . 

Abortion is not Health Care. 

Abortion results in one dead baby and one emotionally damaged mother. She was a mother of a live unborn baby when she walked into Planned Parenthood. Now she is the mother of a dead baby killed by Planned Parenthood. 

Abortion is Planned Parenthood's  program of "stopping ALL reproduction" when there is not economic means of providing care. 

On the life side of this issue, poverty is NEVER a justifiable reason to kill an innocent unborn child. As PP knows, there are hundreds of Adoption organizations willing to accept these innocent babies.

Planned Parenthood counselors convince these poor women that it would be better for them to have an abortion than try to raise the child as a single parent, or put this burden on their parents.  

There are numerous Pregnancy Care homes for mothers to go and live, receiving pre-natal care and post natal care after they have their babies. 99% of these mothers CHOOSE to keep their babies. In these homes they receive all the love and assistance they need to continue their lives after the arrival of their baby. 

=====================================================================

“We who advocate Birth Control, on the other hand, lay all our emphasis upon stopping not only the reproduction of the unfit but upon stopping all reproduction when there is not economic means of providing proper care…” 

–Margaret Sanger, “Birth Control and Racial Betterment” from Birth Control Review, Feb 1919, pg 11
