Bart Stupak claims Democrats want healthcare reform to fund abortion so there will be less people to cover

  Buried near the bottom of this article was a claim by Bart Stupak that is mortifying.

If you pass the Stupak amendment, more children will be born, and therefore it will cost us millions more. That’s one of the arguments I’ve been hearing,” Stupak says. “Money is their hang-up. Is this how we now value life in America? If money is the issue — come on, we can find room in the budget. This is life we’re talking about.

  Democrat leadership has told Bart Stupak– at least that is his claim– that they are unwilling to add his amendment– which would prohibit the federal funding of abortion– back into the bill. They are willing to take their chances and vote on the bill without the Stupak amendment.

  And now we know why they are so adamant about providing  federal funds to pay for abortions, they want women to have as many abortions as possible so that there will be less people in the country that would require medical care later on in life. They want to help women who couldn’t normally afford an abortion to get one, not because it is the mother’s right to choose and not even because they feel not providing federally funded abortions is some type on infringement on the mother’s right to choose, but because it will be one less person to take care of later on down the road. They consider abortion as a cost cutting measure. They have to find savings somewhere and they feel this is a good place to start.

  I can’t even begin to state emphatically enough how disturbing I find this mindset in the Democrat party if this accusation is true. Bart Stupak said it best when he said, “is this how we now value life in America?” Is it? Could it possibly be true that Democrats are looking at abortion simply through the prism of it being a cost effective means to keep medical expenses down once they have total control over the healthcare industry– and total control over the healthcare industry is their stated goal, make no mistake about it.

  People laughed at and tried to discredit Sarah Palin’s claim about the end of life counseling that IS included in the bill when she called them “death panels,” but judging by the lack of sanctity for human life, even in its beginning stages, on display in  the Democrat party who would so callously decide that it is cheaper to let the baby die than possibly have to pay for his or her expenses later on in life, how are we supposed to believe that the Democrats would find it cost effective to provide care for a healthy life at the other end of the spectrum?

  I have to admit, this is an angle I had not thought of and I find it incredibly disturbing if what Bart Stupak claims is the truth. This is they type of thing that you would expect to read about in China, not in this country.

  While Democrats weigh the costs of providing free abortions with the cost of providing medical care to a larger citizenry, Hillary Clinton is preparing a report on the United States’ human rights record to submit to the U.N.  Human Rights Council, claiming that, “human rights are universal.” That statement appears to be at odds with the idea that Democrats would rather provide an abortion than provide care for a person once they are born.

It seems to me like this would be a good place to begin the report.
