Washington D.C. - This morning the United State Senate voted 60-39 in favor of final passage of HR 3590, the so-called "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act."
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins made the following comments:
"Today's Christmas Eve vote may signal the end of the debate in the Senate, but it's far from the end of the debate at large. Since Senator Reid's bad bill is substantially different from the House's bad bill, the lower chamber will have to vote on the plan again. The Senate bill's massive funding for elective abortions and the construction of abortion facilities are among the most radical differences. On Monday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius admitted in an interview that the Senate health care bill will force 'everybody' in the exchange to pay an abortion premium. The so-called Nelson 'compromise' ensures that everyone will pay for abortion-no matter how the funds are divided up.
"According to a new Quinnipiac poll, Americans-by a huge three to one margin-are overwhelmingly opposed to using taxpayer dollars to fund abortion. Seventy-two percent of the country is now firmly on the side of Congressman Bart Stupak's (D-Mich.) solution to ban the government's financial involvement in the deadly procedure. House and Senate conferees would do well to heed that warning when they come together to iron out their differences with the final bill, else this bill could collapse because of it.
"Disagreement over abortion funding is one of the many reasons this fight is far from over. Both House and Senate versions of the bill are seriously flawed. Both bills still allow rationing of health care for seniors, raise health costs for families, mandate that families purchase under threat of fines and penalties, offer counsel about assisted suicide in some states, do not offer broad conscience protections for health care workers and seek to insert the federal government into all aspects of citizen's lives. Additionally, the bills would place a crushing debt on both current and future generations."
My question is this: when is the Roman Catholic church finally going to excommunicate every Catholic Democrat in the Senate who voted for this abortion of a health care bill?
Excommunication of the "25 Hypocrites" should make a point, like no other, that "votes have consequences."
The U.S. Govenment as a whole has gone off the deep end...they have completely thrown away the compass that our forefathers spelled out in detail in the many documents that they left us as assurance that this country would survive nearly any catastrophe.
and that secret formula was the Christian Pinciples that one adopts upon faith in Jesus Christ. AS far as I can see, most of the members of Congress play at Christianity or in some cases plainly admit that they do not believe.
...and folks, that is the problem.
You can examine all you want to try and find out what ails their thinking, but it boils down to one thing, without the wisdom from God through His Son Jesus Christ, you are left without a hint
of wisdom. It all comes form Him, not from man's
egotistical malady of prideful, arrogant learning.
They wanted to become wise, but as the Scripture says, "they have become fools."
I beieve that the only hope for our country is
complete repentance.
What say you?
