When Barack Obama was an Illinois State Senator, he voted against a bill called the “Born Alive Infant Protection Act”. The bill was written to stop the practice at some Illinois hospitals of allowing newborn infants who survived abortion to die. For instance, according to a couple of maternity nurse at Christ Hospital in Chicago, newborn infants who had managed to survive the abortion procedure were left to die in a soiled utility room. It didn’t matter whether the babies were healthy or not; their fate was the same. They were disposed of like so much trash, and a piece of legislation that would have protected them was blocked from 2001-2003 by Barack Obama’s vote. The bill didn’t pass the legislature until 2005, AFTER Obama was gone!
After I read the accounts from two of the courageous whistle-blower nurses, I went to bed, but I couldn’t sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I could hear the cries of those children left to die alone! Not for any crimes that they had committed, but merely for the fact that they had escaped death once, only to face it again. The tears ran down my face thinking about that hungry, scared, cold little baby fruitlessly fighting for its life when those who could have saved them didn’t. They didn’t ask for the situation that they found themselves in, but they were made to brutally pay the price anyway. I guess the “luckier” ones were the unborn killed in their mother’s womb before they had the chance to see the light of day. The women and their doctors couldn’t hear the screams of those being killed in the womb, so that made it all the more humane, right? Barack Obama voted to deny protection to these children because they were a consequence of an action a woman would rather forget. Don’t have to take responsibility for a dead baby, right? Obama was and is determined to make sure that women have the right to destroy a new life before it gets to be a problem. Kind of blows a hole in the abortionists’ argument that “nobody knows when life begins.” Even if you are holding it in your arms?
What, might you ask, does this have to do with senior citizens, the handicapped, and the chronically ill? Just this: there is included in the 2700+ pages of Obamacare a provision for appointing a fifteen-member board that will determine who is to receive Medicare benefits and who isn’t. What this provision does is remove these people from the realm of human beings, who are loved and cared for, to a line item on an accounting spreadsheet. Need a new hip? Why should Medicare spend that money on a 75-year old when they probably won’t live that much longer? Why would Medicare want to keep a chronically-ill older citizen alive when it isn’t going to cure anything (and most likely that person will never have the same quality of life that a younger person would?) Are you worth enough to society to keep you medicated, or are you just a waste of good money?
The really sinful comparison is that if you have ever been in a nursing home or facility after bedtime, you will hear the same kind of sobbing and crying coming from those elderly citizens because they too are cold, lonely, and scared. I dare you to imagine the increase in suffering that will take place if Obamacare is fully implemented. Obama is willing to murder newborn children, as evidenced by his votes in the Illinois State Senate and his fierce pursuit of funding abortion with taxpayer dollars. So don’t you think that he is more than willing to withhold medical care from those he and his “elitist Progressives” deem a burden to society? If a human being has no respect for the beginning of life, why should they have it for those at the end of life?
The same tears I shed for those unborn and newborn children who are murdered in such a brutal way, I shed for the elderly, the infirm, and the chronically ill. They are tears of anger and disgust that a country such as ours can treat life so callously. Barack Obama is a man who has proven that he is the enemy, not the friend of the sick, the weak, and the helpless; yet he proclaims to the rooftops that he is exactly that. Really? I’m asking senior citizens, to take a good hard look at Barack Obama, not through the rose-colored glasses of your political ideology but in reality. Do you really want to turn your health care decisions over to bean counters who only weigh your worth as a human being in the weight of silver and gold? Do you really believe that God created you only as an accounting item? I would rather die sitting in my rocker out on my porch somewhere as a free man, surrounded by family, then in some government warehouse that I was placed into because my loved ones couldn’t afford to keep me home. Is that really the way you want to be treated? I think NOT, and in November, I ask you to think about those doomed unborn and your elderly loved ones. Who’s going to make their health care decisions for them: you, or the government? Think hard about it.

I am a older senior citizen that lives in HUD housing, I worked for years but made a lot of bad decisions finanically so am poor but before this I never accept any government help, I could have at times collected unemployment, but my folks never after raising a huge family accepted any help, back then it was shameful and now it is badge for some. Any way in Wray, CO and Yuma Co HUD housing they are awful to seniors and no one will say any thing, I did one time and the Wray director called me every name in the book and I ended up moving rather than be subjected to abuse….The Wray lady told me that the Yuma lady showed her how to get by with illegals things so she wouldn’t get caught…And they stole things they let some do things that they shouldn’t buying whatever, with no bids and there is no supervision on any thing …..the HUD people saying they are coming at a certain time and this director rounds up her thuggers and they ramrod the seniors and are verbally abusive….That is what obama is letting happen, this is not some thing that is new, but just an example of politicans not caring, I even when to the Board President but he told me that he needed others to come forward….These people wouldn’t they are prisonors in a little tiny home that they are glad they have to not cause any trouble. I am still living in a HUD place and see the abuse here too, like working may be a couple of hours one or two days a week and getting big benefits, but it was awful for the people in Wray and they will definitely not talk….it is like a person that is in prison that has been in prision for years and not able to function on their own and you can promise them any thing they are still afraid…I know that obama threatens the seniors and the military and when you are older you feel the pressure more….But believe me he will use the death panel on us if he gets a chance and I gave up cable to have internet so I don’t want any trouble I didn’t take the time when I was young to try to understand the system and I am okay with it now….Am deathly afraid of this obama and his mean evil libbers….They are the type that would beat their elders….Look at the way they talked about Clint Eastwood and support womanizers clooney….I don’t believe in abortion and saw the Silent Scream and how could some one do that to a child or themselves, I believe in a God and don’t care what Romney believes in I am not Morman or Catholic and they will have to answer, I don’t believe that women should have their sex lives paid for by the government and don’t believe that the women should have a different baby every year to get more money, I don’t believe in bowing before Muslima/Islams and I think obama should unseal his public records….
Why would you still call yourselves Africa Americans except to have us treat you different and get more benefits, we bought the blacks and they are doing so well here but they continue to hate us…Just like the illegals they want the benefits and they take them…..but hate us at the same time,,,,,They will have to work if they get citizenship and will be just like us, but they want to ruin our country and make it just like Mexico and obama wants us to be just like “His FAther” and that is a shack….and if we let them this country would look like those two places….Sorry, I just read part of your subject and got carried away….I am a little or a lot radical…..
he does not care about anyone but bammy. and a few fellow communist. If i were the few, i would not turn my back on him. you , as a so called friend cannot trust him.
Michael Nellett – I think everyone needs to hear ALL THE FACTS pertaining to the Illinois State Senator, Barack Obama and the Bill called the “Born Alive Infant Protection Act”. To the best of my recollection it was a Barack Hussein Obama, who was the only senator to speak against this Bill two years in a row, each time just before the vote was voted down…. I heard many say that the Bill would have passed had Mr. obama not spoken against it.
The third year this Bill came up for a vote Mr. Obama was in Washington and the Bill having no one to speak against it, passed…. And it was just for his actions against this one Bill that I would never vote for Mr. Obama…..
He pretends to be concerned about seniors, and doesn’t even do that very well. He’s robbing money from Medicare ($716 billion so far) and the end game is to destroy Medicare so all seniors will be moved to his socialist, rationed healthcare program. At that point, he, along with his 15-member board of bureaucrats with no medical knowledge, will be able to ration senior care….restrict surgeries like knee and hip replacements, ration preventive tests by stretching out the time intervals and generally allow care only to those seniors who may have some value to him and his “government”. Those who are too old get a bottle of aspirin!!! This person is a huge detriment to senior citizens, and they’d better start realizing it before NOVEMBER 6.
short and to the point…………………….the pos filth is one sick freak……………nuff said
Mr. Nellett – I watched for 18 months as my dear mother-in-law sat by her beloved husband’s side after he was put in a nursing home. She had no choice in whether or not he went to a home, he’d had a tracheotomy and she was too ill to care for him. She rented and apartment across the street so she could be near him. It was Mom that did for him the things to make him comfortable, like cut his nails, wash his face, put lotion on his skin, and get someone to clean him when he soiled his bedding (one day she arrived latter than usual and it was caked on to his skin). For the last six months of his life the nursing home Doctor tried to get her to pull the plug on his ventilator, even though her husband was conscious, could hear what was being said and clearly wanted to live. Mom refused and stayed to watch so they didn’t. I believe that under Obamacare she would not have been able to stop them. It is one thing if the patient chooses to have the plug pulled, but my father-in-law wanted to live…he was a Bataan survivor.
I’m an older citizen as well. We are long lived in our family. I’ve a cousin that is 105, brilliant lady, that had a by-pass operation last year. Under Obamacare, we would have lost this lovely lady. I know that my days are numbered if Obama is re-elected. The first time I have something serious enough to cost Medicare money, I’m out of here. My health is not good, it just isn’t of the type to be extremely expensive, except for medication. Obamacare isn’t health care for everyone – it’s said to be insurance for everyone. The simple fact of having insurance does not guarantee you the ability to see a doctor. You also have to have money and a doctor willing to see you! I went to an Urgent Care facility in central Texas one weekend when I was ill and was told they couldn’t see me because I was on Medicare. When my son offered to pay cash up front and not involve Medicare at all, they still refused. They told me to go to the ER. This will only get worse. Our complete medical records will be in the hands of the government. Privacy? I doubt it! The Medicare Advantage that I have to have to at least be able to see a doctor will go away under Obamacare and with Medicare ravaged with the money that’s being taken from it, us older citizens that remember what America is supposed to be will be gone. There will be no one left to tell the grandchildren our history to counter what they are taught at school. Perhaps this is what Obama is after as well. Or maybe he simply doesn’t care. Maybe he just hates America.
If you voted for Obama because he is black, you are a racist. If you didn’t vote for Obama because he is black, you are a racist. I did not vote for Obama because his campaign was all talk and no substance. He did not say what “Change” was and now we know and I’m glad I didn’t vote for him. independent voter
Obama cares about changing our country into a socialist 3rd world country. He doesn’t like who we are. He doesn’t believe in our Constitution, our Bill of Rights or our way of life. I also believe that he is an illegal president.
Obamacare is an Obamination and anyone who thinks he gives a damn about anyone or anything has not spent any time learning about BO. I pray he will be eliminated, the words used purposefully for this man of a murderous mind, babies and seniors alike, in November.
AND ROMNEY IS GOING TO FIX THIS i THINK NOT
i AM NOT A LIBRIAL but Romney produced Romney Care the precurser to Obamacare Ron Paul would have been a better choice. Just my 2 C
A note for other Seniors. Don’t forget that AARP sold us out to Obamacare so they could continue to sell insurance. They are not to be trusted and are not concerned about us either.
