ObamaNation See other ObamaNation Articles Title: The Con: The Attack on 1st Amendment Rights of Conscience Americans United for Life has launched this educational campaign to help people understand the manipulative and deceptive policies in the pending healthcare law that are forcing both an abortion mandate and an abortion-inducing drug mandate on all Americans — regardless of their personal beliefs. In a public relations bait-and-switch tactic, the administration pretends that this is about contraception. But that’s a con—this issue is about mandating abortion-causing drugs.

YouTube link: The Con - presented by AUL Poster Comment: In other news of relevance: BREAKING: Senate Democrats Kill Blunt Amendment on Religious Freedom Meanwhile, Americans United for Life has released a video [note: see above] explaining why, despite Democrats' lies, this issue has nothing to do with a "war" on birth control. Nobody is trying to ban contraception. What we object to is the government forcing everyone to pay for other people's birth control, especially religious institutions. This is a massive government project, it will increase the cost of healthcare, it diminishes the value of individual responsibility, and it violates the Constitution Francesca Minerva, a philosopher and medical ethicist, argues a young baby is not a real person and so killing it in the first days after birth is little different to aborting it in the womb. Even a healthy baby could have its life snuffed out if the mother decides she can’t afford to look after it, the article published by the British Medical Journal group states. The journal’s editor has defended the piece, saying the publication’s role is to present well-reasoned arguments, rather than promote one particular moral view. But the article has angered other ethicists, peers and campaigners. They have described the call for legalised infanticide as chilling and an ‘inhumane defence of child destruction’. Medical Journalists Call for ‘After-Birth Abortions’, Say Infants ‘Aren’t People’ The writers, who worked with Australian universities in the construction of their paper, say that newborn babies simply do not have a “moral right to life.” Furthermore, the paper goes on to state that the babies have no right to live as they do not offer “at least basic value” that would represent a loss. Study authors Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva, both from the University of Melbourne, state in their paper that “after-birth abortion’ (killing a newborn) should be permissible in all the cases where abortion, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.” They go on to say that while it is infanticide, they prefer not to call it that. Instead, they prefer the term ‘after-birth abortion’ — a term that avoids the true labeling of the proposed technique. Authors of the paper write that simply being a human isn’t something that grants ‘a right to life’. It appears the paper authors believe that they are the ones who are to determine whether or not a human can live or die. Under this train of thought, then these ‘after-birth’ abortions are not limited to infants. In fact, if being a human does not grant a ‘right to life’, then so-called ‘ethicists’ could soon state that everyone with a disability no longer has the right to live. [sic] The authors of this paper are now recommending that certain human beings simply do not deserve to live, [sic] The paper states: Merely being human is not in itself a reason for ascribing someone a right to life. Indeed, many humans are not considered subjects of a right to life… Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 2.
