Sorry Charlie, Crist Vetoes Florida Ultrasound Bill, Bottom Line – More Babies Will Be Killed

The following is from Florida Right to Life Organization:

“THE MOST IMPORTANT PRO-LIFE, PRO-WOMEN LEGISLATION IN FLORIDA HISTORY WAS VETOED BY GOV. CRIST ON JUNE 11, 2010!

HB 1143 was a pro-life and a pro-choice bill. It required that an abortionist give an ultrasound test before an abortion. 82% of the abortion clinics in Florida already do, but they do not all give the woman the option to see or discuss the ultrasound.

This bill did not force the woman to look at the ultrasound or force her to discuss it. But it did require the abortionist to give her the option to see the pictures and to ask questions.

This is a pro-choice bill because it gives woman the opportunity to have as much information as possible before making a choice and isn’t that what pro-choice is all about.

Of course the abortionists didn’t want this to happen because some women would change their mind about having an abortion and so this bill would hurt their business.

The abortionists and pro-aborts used the pro-life vs. pro-choice debate for their greed.

Within a couple of days of passage of the bill more than a thousand calls hit the Governor’s office convincing him that this bill is against woman! They had him believing that the bill forces the woman to view the ultrasound, that the woman would receive a “lecture” and so the bill is “mean-spirited” to put a woman through so much when she is in the turmoil of making such an emotional decision.

If they were really pro-woman they would have agreed that it is time for the other 18% of abortion providers in Florida do an ultrasound before an abortion and it is only for the welfare of the woman that she is allowed to see it and ask questions about it.

All surgical procedures have tests for the safety of the patient and it is a woman’s right to have any test to insure her safety for all surgeries including abortion.

6/11/10 Charlie Crist Vetoes Bill to Opt Out of Abortion Funding, for Ultrasound

Please call Governor Crist and tell him that you are really disappointed in him for not signing BG 1143 into law.  Tell him that this was a Pro-Woman bill and he has taken in by abortionists and Pro-Abort greed and that you will not vote for him.

Calls are the most preferred, faxes second and e-mails third:

(850) 488-7146 or (850)-488-4441
Fax (850) 487-0801 or email Charlie.Crist@MyFlorida.com

My take:  Pro-Choice Americans who celebrate this Veto- are actually cheering over the tossing of thousands more of our children into  garbage heaps- they don’t know what they are doing- but if they regarded the plain biological facts of what kind of medical procedure abortion is- they would know. They should know- here is one more opportunity to know- to wake up- repent-take care to support women and children- born and unborn. I am a proud convert from pro-death choice, and I’m a  non-partisan-  I don’t regard pro-life as a partisan issue- Republican pro-lifers should demand more from their parties “pro-life” representatives- lest you get more of the same like “Sorry Charlie” Crist-types. I have found that the Pro-Death Choice camp is much more assertive and aggressive about getting what they want from their Democratic candidates and representatives- nothing wrong in being assertive if your cause is actually right is there?

For those who are still open-minded, and open-hearted, but lingering in that Pro-Death Choice encampment- consider this factual assist from the decidedly non-pro-life advocate source- The National Geographic and their documentary “In the Womb” where the ultrasound technology which has the Pro-Death advocates so panicked- is put on good display.  Please see the video at the top of this blog and also consider the alternative reality below:

Mr. Crist seems to be showing his true colors, hmm?

A sad day for our most vulnerable, precious, and innocent unborn babies. Praying for Crist’s soul…

The only way to properly frame this issue is to realize that the two sides have different prospectives.
Pro-lifers see it as a just and moral cause to protect women and their children from harm.
That’s good enough for discussion and debate but far short of the response needed to stop the slaughter of the innocent lives as pictured in this article.
The abortionist and their subjects who go under the banner of Pro-Choice are not interested “causes”; they are far beyond that stage. They have declared WAR with any and all opponents of their religion and the “industrial complex” which powers the advance of their “Crusade”. They are rich and powerful and unfortunately know for the most part that the enemy’s main weapon is simply conversation which can be matched word for word.
We have to likewise be willing to adjust to the conditions of war. The many of faith must become Christian Soldiers and march into battle willing to give more than voices to a cause. How you say?
It would only take 10 to 20 thousand tax paying citizens refusing to file next year united and willing to go to jail unless all public funding for abortions be stopped immediately by say “executive order” followed by proper legislation. That, I’m afraid, is too much to expect. And there would be Bishops against it sighting “civil disobedience”.

Crist has left the Republican party as I explained in this post:

https://the-american-catholic.com/2010/06/09/political-weasel-of-the-year/

He realizes he has no chance of getting pro-life Republican votes against Marco Rubio in the Senate race, so he is going after pro-abort votes.

Marco Rubio responds to the veto:

“Republican U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio said Crist’s veto was coldly calculated politics, not compassion for poor women faced with paying for ultrasound exams.
“Once again, Charlie Crist has put politics ahead of principled policy-making,” said Rubio. “This veto will now make it harder for Florida to fight Obamacare, since the bill would have enabled our state to opt out of the abortion coverage mandate in the federal health care law.”

http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20100612/NEWS01/6120313/1006/Abortion+bill+gets+vetoed

Here are the responses of the the two Democrats vying for their parties’ nomination in the Senate race:

“Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Kendrick Meek, D-Miami Gardens, called the veto “a no-brainer.” But he agreed with the Republicans that Crist was trying to move back to the political center after a political lifetime of opposing abortion.
“The governor wants to put politics ahead of public policy,” said Meek.”

“Democrat Jeff Greene, also running against Crist for the Senate, said the governor should have “opposed from the start” Hudson’s bill.
“The fact that Charlie Crist even had to think about whether or not to veto this bill is just more evidence that Crist is a flip-flopper,” said Greene.”

Is the political center pro-abortion?

Bottom line: you vote for Dems more babies will be exterminated, and almost certainly you will not get into Heaven.

I await the sophists over at Vox Nova to tell us why this is a great thing that Crist has done, and how Tim is more evil for putting that picture up…

How many wars, tornados, earthquakes, and other natural disasters is it going to take for America to wake up to the fact that abortion is murder?

Sydney,

My thoughts too, at least on the picture.

Consequentialism!

The sophists over at Vox Nova inadvertently “hit on” a Catholic principle – possibly first time ever.

One of the Corporal Works of Mercy is:

Bury the dead.

Let’s say the pro-life Democrats (HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!) enact a law that exterminated babies be accorded Christian/Jewish burials, as appropriate?

Pro-life Democ . . . (I’m about to bust a gut).

I can imagine a vegetarian hyena. I cannot, in my wildest hallucination, imagine a pro-life Dem.

Well, perhaps you’ve never met a pro-life Democrat.

T. Shaw,

I’ve known some very principles pro-life democrats, though sadly it may be a lost cause when it comes to actual candidates for high office in the party.

Tim,

I agree that it’s important that people see those kinds of images — though I must admit that I also appreciate your moving that one below the fold. I sometimes have my kids around when I’m reading down the TAC main page, and at their ages I’d rather keep the full depravity of our nation concealed from them a little longer.

God forgive us…

Most probably, these tiny ones, considered pathological waste, are incinerated, turned into ash, and taken to a landfill. Thus, not only is the child murdered and disposed of in such a cruel manner, but it has also been denied the opportunity to love and be loved. It has been denied sleeping peacefully in its mother’s lap, of being playfully tickled and cuddled, of taking its first steps and learning its first words under the guidance of its father. Everyone in its family, including grandparents, has been denied the opportunity to experience divine love. Some Catholic cemeteries are setting aside land for memorials in remembrance of these tiny ones. One cemetery has the statue of Rachel, who is weeping, to give comfort to those who have experienced the tragedy of abortion. Like the poster above, I wonder how much longer God will bless our country with blue and sunny skies while this vile darkness covers our nation like a shroud. I really do think we are on the precipice of destruction. Charlie Crist has made a heinous decision to try to gain earthly treasure, but the eternal heavenly treasure may just elude him.

Darwin & Tim S.,

I moved the pic below the fold so the YouTube video could get some exposure.

At first it was an accident as I was trying to embed Tim’s link into the post, so I miss-embedded it at the top.

It looked good that way so I rearranged the pic below the fold.
