Ohio moves to defund "Planned Parenthood" and is defended in this post.

Yesterday,  we found this headline, Ohio House Republicans move to defund Planned Parenthood

8 week fetus sucking its thumb. When

hardware.  

Understand that the Ohio effort is not a move to end Planned Parenthood.  You should know that Federal/state funding of this macabre industry amounts to 40% of its total financial requirement.  Supporters of these death mills, do not allow for conscientious objection to their version of "family planning,"  a phrase, when used in conjunction with the killing of the unborn, that strikes me as being some sort of ghoulish  joke.  Understand that all life forms come complete with an instinct for life's preservation, and, that is enough to convince me that "life" should be protected in this case.  An unborn's right to life should be protected simply because it [instinctively] wants to live.

Speaking for myself,  an unfertilized egg is not yet human.  An effective form of contraception can be used in family planning without offence to millions of folks who agree,  although Catholic Church doctrine does not agree.

Those with conscience against abortion have been promised , for decades, that federal tax dollars would not be used for abortion;  that is supposedly,  against federal law, under the Hyde Amendment.  But the Hyde Amendment only prevents the use of federal funds when attached to legislation coming out of Health and Human Services. The "promise" has proven to be little more than a scam-lie designed by the Left to fool the Right (to Life folks) into agreement. More than this, those who oppose the Hyde Amendment argue that it "unfairly targets low-income women,"  never mind that the real "target" in all this,  is unborn human life.

"We" were promised that abortion would never include a full term infant, but, with  Roe v Wade,  that distinction was never fully true.  I have included copy from a Wisconsin Right to Life bulletin,  defining the legal implications of Roe v Wade (1976)  and Doe v Bolton, Supreme Court decisions rendered two weeks apart and defining the federal position on abortion:  (see "end notes" below, for full text). A summary of the 1976 decision, makes it clear that state action against abortion is prohibited by federal law before the time a "fetus" is considered to be "viable."  The fact of the matter is this,  in many states,  an unborn child can be aborted at any stage of pregnancy or before birth is said to have been completed (i.e. "later term abortions").  Obama goes so far as to support legislation that would provide for the death of a "surviving" but designated abortion victim.  As an Illinois state senator,  Obama voted against all "infant born alive"  legislation (2001, 2002 and 2003) proving my claim from the beginning of his term as president,  that Barack and his wife are "abortion freaks,"  supporting [even] infanticide when the infant has been designated for abortion.

Tactics used by the Left seem to indicate an instinctual knowing that the unborn are, indeed, "human."  Look what they do to avoid insulting their own consciences,  refusing, for example,  to reference the unborn as "babies," preferring the nondescript term "fetus."  In addition,  you have their extreme reaction to any pictorial representation of abortion and aborted children.  Ahh,  even the use of "children" or "unborn child" provokes a nearly insane reaction from those on the Left.

William Shakespear once wrote advice I have used throughout my adult life: "To thine own self, be true."  The Left fails, even, this test,   when it comes to the abortion debate.

Wisconsin Right To Life text: 

1973 Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton Decisions Legalized Abortion in the U.S. for theFull Nine Months of Pregnancy

Prior to 1967, abortion was prohibited in all 50 states except when the mother’s life was in danger. Between 1967 and 1973, 18 states added further exceptions, mostly to allow abortion in cases of rape and incest, or for certain limited medical reasons, or on demand (New York).

In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court rendered two decisions, Roe v. Wade ¹ and Doe v. Bolton 2 which, taken together, have allowed legal abortion on demand at any stage of pregnancy in all 50 states. The two original decisions established legal abortion as follows:

1. In the first three months of pregnancy, no one can interfere with a
   woman’s decision to abort her child.
   
2. After the first three months, but before the “viability” of the unborn
   child, an individual state can enact laws to protect the health of the mother but cannot prohibit the abortion of the unborn child.
   
3. After “viability” of the unborn child, an individual state can, if it chooses
   to do so, enact laws to protect the unborn child but abortion must be allowed if the life or “health” of the mother is at stake. The Supreme Court defined “health” as “the medical judgment that may be exercised in light of all factors – physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman’s age –relevant to the well-being of the patient. All these factors may relate to health.” ²

Consequently, the broad definition of “health” has made abortion legal
up to the moment of birth.
