Healthcare Reform or Abortion Mandate?

Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..." (NIV)

Currently our politicians in Washington are working to fix the problem with access to healthcare through a new federally funded system of government healthcare. This system will socialize our healthcare system and would force abortions into the mold by making abortion a part of our healthcare. This would mean that doctors and hospitals would be forced to provide it. It would also mean that taxpayers would be forced to pay for it and become partners in this sin.

Socialism is a tool of government to force an otherwise free people into the religion of government. Instead of the Word of God (by which our very President was sworn into office by the way) being the final authority, government ideas become the prevailing doctrine of the day by which all citizens much conform or face the consequences. This is not the ideals of America nor the desire of those who gave of themselves totally and completely in order to found this nation. Why? They knew what government tyranny was all about and desired to be free. Socialism is government tyranny.

I was shocked recently to learn about the fact that the Democrat-led Congress, who is in control of setting the agenda of all legislation, is insisting that abortion (or what they term reproductive "healthcare") be included in the government provided healthcare coverage. This would force hospitals and doctors to provide abortions and is being called the biggest abortion power-grab since Roe v. Wade.

I was angered that this important fact is being neglected to be mentioned by the mainstream media. They are working with the President's administration and giving him unprecedented coverage on the networks to sell this healthcare plan to the American people. However, they are totally leaving out the all important plan as to how they plan to accomplish this. And it the how does make a difference.

Can you imagine living in a country in which abortion is federally funded and is seen as a form of birth control? If you don't think it could happen here then think again. Many countries of the world, sadly including Great Britain, are already there. If God's people do not rise up in actions of faith and prayer then we are going to be next.

I know that there is a real problem in access to healthcare in this country. God has a plan to fix the problem. However, if ungodly men and women implement their plans to fix the problem then all we end up with is a greater problem. I for one do not want healthcare that is paved with the blood of the most innocent and vulnerable of human beings- who are America's future.

There has been enough bloodshed through this sin. It is time to declare boldy that the days of government promotion of this crime against humanity are numbered. It is time to be counted. It is time to make our voices heard on this issue. It is time to stand with the unborn and say NO! to this form of "healthcare" reform.
