The Sebelius Effect?




Now with former Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius recently appointed as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, her pro-choice views are under the spotlight more than ever.
Catholic League President Bill Donohue denounces her as "an enemy of the unborn" and derides her for the criticism she has received from the last three archbishops of Kansas City. In her defense, Catholics United group solidly countered with reminders that Sebelius has reduced the number of abortions in her state.

"My Catholic faith teaches me that all life is sacred, and personally I believe abortion is wrong," she said then. "However, I disagree with the suggestion that criminalizing women and their doctors is an effective means of achieving the goal of reducing the number of abortions in our nation."
How will Sebelius affect legislation on abortion? How will it go hand in hand with her health care reform?

Also I gained five pounds, and it really sucks.

"Personally, I think child abuse is wrong. However, I disagree with the suggestion that prosecuting fathers and mothers and uncles and boyfriends and shack-up honeys and sugar daddies is an effective means of achieving the goal of reducing the number of children abused in our nation."

Her ridiculous comments put abortion in the category of something like downloading copyrighted music. Something of which you might reasonably say, "I don't agree with it, but I'm not sure the law should prosecute those who do it."

I guess unborn babies aren't worth much if we won't protect them with the law, even when we understand it's wrong.
