- Jon and Kate Plus 8 Minus God
So, on the surface, it appears that the Gosselins have attained everything but on a spiritual level, they have nothing. The family is splitting apart before ten million viewers. It’s the American way and there lies the tragedy. This couple and so many in our society are blind to the fact that without God in the center, things eventually spin out of control.

"The fact is second and third trimester abortions are committed rampantly in hospitals and abortion clinics across the country on a daily basis.

The Case Against Sebelius: Unfit to Serve as HHS
Secretary<http://blog.aul.org/2009/03/01/the-case-against-sebelius-unfit-to-serve-as-hhs-secretary/>
By Denise Burke | March 1, 2009
By Clarke D. Forsythe and Denise M. Burke
Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebilius has been nominated to serve as
Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If
confirmed, she will be in a position to profoundly influence American
healthcare including federal and state policies regarding abortion,
healthcare rights of conscience, bioethics and biotechnologies, and
end-of-life issues.
On balance, Gov. Sebelius' record demonstrates that she is unfit to
serve as HHS Secretary and should not be in a position to make such
important policy determinations including:
* Whether to rescind, modify, or retain HHS rules requiring that
recipients of certain federal funding certify their compliance with
existing federal law supporting healthcare fights of conscience;
* Whether to expand the over-the-counter availability of
abortifacients such as "Plan B" (so-called "emergency contraception") to
allow minors to obtain these controversial and dangerous drugs without a
prescription or doctor's involvement; and
* Whether to rescind approval for or, at a minimum, review the safety
and efficacy of RU-486 ("the abortion pill") which has killed at least 7
women in the U.S. since it was approved by the FDA in September 2000.
So, what is her record on these critical issues?
Gov. Sebelius served four terms (1987-1995) in the Kansas House of
Representatives and two terms (1995-2003) as the state's elected
Insurance Commissioner. She was then elected Governor in 2002 and
re-elected in 2006.
In the 1980s and 1990s then State Representative Sebelius voted to
weaken or eliminate even such modest abortion-related measures as
parental notification, reflection periods and informed consent.
However, her record as Governor is - in substantial part - even more
extreme in its support for abortion.
She has routinely opposed or vetoed several abortion-accountability
bills, including medically-supported clinic regulation legislation which
she vetoed in both 2003 and 2005. The need for this critical
legislation was predicated, in large part, on evidence of shocking
conditions in Kansas abortion clinics. For example, two inspections of
the same Topeka abortion clinic discovered fetal remains stored in the
same refrigerator as food; a dead rodent in the clinic hallway;
overflowing, uncovered disposal bins containing medical waste;
unlabeled, pre-drawn syringes with controlled substances in an unlocked
refrigerator; improperly labeled and expired medicines; carpeted floor
in the surgical procedure room; and visible dirt and general disarray
throughout the clinic. Dr. Krishna Rajanna, who operated the unsanitary
clinic, also consistently violated the practice guidelines for conscious
sedation.
Recently, in 2008, she vetoed a measure that would have strengthened the
state's existing parental notification law by 1) requiring that any
adult accompanying a minor show identification, declare in writing their
relationship to the minor, and identify the father of the unborn child;
2) requiring the minor to show some form of photo identification
providing identity and place of residence; and 3) if the minor chooses
to seek a judicial waiver, prohibiting any employee of an abortion
provider or clinic from assisting her with the requisite court filings
and proceedings.
More shocking, however, is her continuing and unyielding support for
late-term abortions including post-viability abortions. Over the past
three years, sh* Requiring explicit medical reasons for late-term abortions;
* Requiring abortion providers to report the diagnosis or the nature
of the condition which necessitated a post-viability abortion; and
* Permitting injunctive relief for either a completed or
about-to-be-performed illegal late-term abortion and adding certain
prosecutors (in addition to the Attorney General) to prosecute
violations of existing prohibitions on late-term abortions
Interestingly, in the face of these controversial vetoes, Gov. Sebelius
honored late-term abortionist George Tiller, 25 friends and employees of
Tiller's abortion clinic, and Nebraska partial-birth abortionist LeRoy
Carhart, at the Governor's mansion in April 2007. As documented by
Associated Press (AP) reporter John Hanna, after the AP filed a request
for documents under the Kansas Open Records Act, Gov. Sebelius is shown
in photographs, pointing with gratitude to Tiller who is holding a
campaign t-shirt featuring her name. Tiller is currently facing
criminal prosecution for 19 counts of illegally performing late-term
abortions. His trial is set to begin on March 16, 2009.
Gov. Sebelius not only honors radical abortion supporters and renegade
practitioners at the Governor's mansion, she also appoints them to
important state positions. For example, she appointed a former abortion
clinic "escort" John Carmichael, a militant supporter of Tiller's
Political Action Committee, ProKanDo, to the Human Rights Commission.
His name was quietly withdrawn ten months later in May 2008. See
http://kansasmeadowlark.com/2008/05/05/sebelius-withdraws-appointment/.
She also appointed political supporter and abortionist Howard Ellis to
serve on the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts after he surrendered his
medical license in Missouri rather than face disciplinary charges.
Ellis resigned under pressure, and two months later was charged by the
Board with attempting to persuade a physician to falsify records. See
http://www.wibw.com/home/headlines/2569646.html.
A fair and honest review of her record shows that she has signed some
important pro-life legislation since becoming Kansas governor in 2003:
* In 2003, legislation prohibiting certain family planning funds from
going to organizations that "promote, refer or educate" on behalf of
abortions
* In 2004, legislation promoting morally-responsible growth of the
biotechnology industry. The state has specifically indicated that the
terms "bioscience," "biotechnology," and "life sciences" shall not be
construed to include 1) induced human abortions or the use of cells or
tissues derived therefrom, and 2) any research the federal funding of
which would be contrary to federal laws that are in effect.
* In 2005, legislation that required any physician performing an
abortion under a girl 14 years or younger to retain fetal tissue and
turn it over to Kansas Bureau of Investigation for use in potential
prosecutions for sex crimes against children; and legislation providing
$300,000 in state funding for abortion alternatives.
* In 2006, the Pain Patients Bill of Rights which specifically permits
opiate dosages necessary to eliminate pain, but did not legalize
assisted suicide.
* In 2007, unborn victims of violence protections, criminalizing the
homicide of and assault upon unborn children at any stage of gestational
development.
However, on balance, Gov. Sebelius' record demonstrates that she is
unfit to serve as HHS Secretary and should not be in a position in
influence American healthcare policy for years to come.
