Abortion and healthcare

Obama's national healthcare plan would seemingly include abortions. Moreover, the administration has sent signals that private insurers who want to participate will have to provide abortion coverage.

This is an outrage. This plan would force Americans — many of whom vehemently disagree with snuffing out embryonic life — to subsidize abortions. This is no different than if Obama levied an abortion tax on the public.

This cannot go unnoticed. Abortion is tantamount to murder. No amount of justification can justify the killing of a human being. The end does not justify the means.

Perhaps God can forgive those who have abortions in the case of rape or incest. But it is morally reprehensible to use abortions as a form of birth control, as so many people do. Irene Vilar, author of a new book, Hurry Down Sunshine, chronicles 15 abortions in 15 years prior to bowing to motherhood. And it is unforgivable to force the public to underwrite this practice — as Obama is presently proposing.
