Nurse Jill Stanek who broke the story at Christ Hospital in Illinois that babies were being left to die without treatment, and who was a key witness for passage of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, has a column today at World Net Daily on her fourth annual abortionist of the year award. Here are her contestants. If you think abortion is safe now that is legal, think again. Here are some from this year.
Malachy DeHenre: Found guilty this January for murdering his wife after losing his medical license in Alabama, New York and Mississippi for botched abortions, rape, and death of a patient.
Alberto Hodari: Late-termer caught on videotape in November speaking to Medical Students for Choice at Wayne State University in Michigan, invited despite having been previously accused of killing two patients. Hodari bragged about lying to patients and families and not washing hands between abortions, among other grossities.
George Kabacy: Former Oregon Planned Parenthood slice-and-dicer who pleaded guilty in Washington state in November for engaging in and advertising child porn. Kabacy was also accused but never convicted of killing a patient.
Deborah Lyn Levich: Allowed her Alabama medical license to expire last January after being charged with letting non-physicians commit abortions, underestimating fetal gestational age, falsifying records, committing illegal abortions and failing to treat a patient in dire straits. Levich is still licensed to practice in Georgia.
Rapin Osathanondh: Surrendered his Massachusetts medical license voluntarily last month after allegedly killing 22-year-old Laura Smith in September with an anesthesia overdose.
James Pendergraft: Had his Florida license suspended one year in December and was fined $10,000 for committing an illegal late-term abortion that resulted in a brain-damaged baby. Previously imprisoned in 2001 for extortion. In 2005, one of his five clinics turned away paramedics responding to a call by a mother inside whose baby was aborted alive and allowed to die.
Laurence Reich: Charged in California last month for practicing medicine without a license after having it revoked in 2005 for molesting patients.
Hamid Hussain Sheikh: Indicted in November by Kentucky officials for defrauding Medicaid.
Sheldon Turkish: In a case making its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, Turkish has been charged for committing an abortion without informed consent, including lying that a patient was not carrying human life. Read Stanek's column to find her winner. Stanek notes that none of the abortion websites are promoting the The National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers this year. Little wonder why?
Former abortion clinic operator Carol Everett once told me that in the days before Roe, abortionists did better work. They didn't want to get caught. But she felt that today there's no reason to worry. Abortion is legal. How many women are going to tell anyone they were harmed by an abortion. There's a built in blackmail. Everett said Roe freed the abortionist, not women.
Talking about Obama and his stand on life issues, I found a partial list of a few measures that Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. backs. Not all of them but some of his more egregious opinions:
ReplyDeleteIn 1999 he was the only Illinois State Senator to vote against a bill barring early release for (criminal) sex offenders. Can you believe this and him with 2 young daughters?! What is he THINKING!
He voted against filtering pornography on school and library computers and he voted for sex education for kindergarten children through the 5th grade.
Also, in 2001, he voted ““present”” on a bill to keep pornographic book and video stores and strip clubs from setting up within 1,000 feet of schools and churches.
Of course, as Don mention in his post - just as unsettling is his voting record on abortion.
Twice, Obama voted against bills prohibiting tax funding of abortions.
In February 2004, his wife, Michelle, sent out a fundraising letter, which actually stated her concern over the rise of conservatism in the Country, and that the ‘‘so-called’’ partial-birth abortion was a legitimate medical procedure that should be protected.
In 2003, as chairman of the next Senate committee to which BAIPA (Born Alive Infants Protection Act) was sent, Obama prevented it from even getting a hearing. BAIPA, by the way, stated that all live-born babies were guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection, whether or not they were wanted.
In 2001, he voted ““present”” on a bill to notify parents when their minor children seek an abortion.
He voted against a cloning ban in 2000, but voted for it in 2001.
In 1997, Obama twice voted ““present”” on an Illinois partial-birth abortion ban.
“For all that he is polished on the surface, his stand on the defenseless seems cold to the core.” (Donna Hope in Associated Content).
Amen to that, Donna.
By the way have you wondered what it means to vote ‘present’ on a bill?
It seems that you need a constitutional majority in Illinois to pass a bill. Its state Senate has 59 members, 30 are required to pass a bill. Thirty, not just a collective majority. This is not the case in the Congress. A plain majority is required: a majority of votes. Voting present means a lot of things depending on the situation. But in effect it means a vote of no.
There can be strategic reasons for voting ‘‘present’’ rather than simply no. A member might approve the intent of legislation, but not its scope or the way it has been drafted. A ‘‘present’’ vote can send a signal to a bill’’s sponsors that the legislator might support an amended version. Voting ‘‘present’’ can also be a way to exercise fiscal restraint, without opposing the subject of the bill.””
In other words 'he ain't sayin' folks!
..... sorry! This got put under the wrong heading - read Don's March blog.
