    Pro-abort strategy: attack the conscience

    Darkness can never overcome the light. It is a physical impossibility. The only way the darkness can win is to keep the light hidden. Cloaked. Concealed. Obscured. Otherwise, they lose. Every time. There are two-ways to hide the truth. One is a brickforce frontal assault in dictating information. The second, perhaps even more insidious than the first, is to numb the senses; in effect, blind people to the obviousness of the truth. Pro-aborts employ both strategies.

    This is the fifth post in a series focusing on the pro-life issue leading up to the critical 2010 elections, which will be a turning point for Michigan and the country. As every week passes I am convinced of this more and more. Life is, however, constantly under attack. Always on  defense. Always the target. Not only the unborn anymore, but our seniors as well. Seniors who need more health care than younger Michiganders and Americans. In fact, Ezekiel Emanuel, Obama's rationing czar, has written:

    ... some medical services should not be guaranteed to those "who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens....An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia." He has also advocated basing medical decisions on a system which "produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated."
    Seniors and the unborn are furthest down the priority curve. Thus, going forward, we must arm ourselves with knowledge, and fight such devaluing as it affects us all as a society, which is the reason for this important series of posts.

    As a quick review, in the last few weeks, I covered the moral and scientific pro-life arguments against the murder of the innocent. In formulating both of those argument, I mentioned that we all live within the framework of certain laws. These are universal laws that were imposed by The Creator over which we have no control. The natural laws are layered, in my estimation, as such:

    1. Laws of logic
    2. Laws of mathematics
    3. Laws of science
    4. Moral Laws
    Laws of logic are unambiguous. Laws of mathematics are pretty solid as well. Laws of science, outside the fundamental principles of nature, are still being debated and studied. Laws of nature are debated even more, even though there are common moral values that are ingrained in every culture on the planet. These laws are not independent of one another either. Science depends on mathematics, which depend on logic. The best pro-life argument, however, is simply the existence of the baby. But that's where the conscience comes in.

    Continue reading below the fold...

    You will notice that the conscience includes the familiar word science, which basically means "to know." The conscience is our compass of right and wrong. We are hard-wired with a conscience. This is why we recognize certain moral laws universally throughout all civilizations. They don't have to be taught. They are known. The conscience is our eyes in spiritual matters as well. The pro-aborts have been attacking our spiritual eyes for some time now. The first line of attack, as I mentioned above, is basically to cover the eyes. Do not let the truth through. Do not let the light shine in. For many years, this was done via blatant lies. It's not really a baby. It's just a blob of cells. Just tissue. No different than blood. That has changed. With ultrasound technology at such high resolution today, and with prices coming down dramatically, everyone can take a glimpse and see the obviousness of the truth. What to do from the pro-abort standpoint? Don't let the mothers see it, even if the doctor does. Recently in North Dakota, an abortion business has recently sued to prevent women from seeing the ultrasound, which is now part of an informed consent law there, even though the abortion clinic does an ultrasound anyway as a standard procedure before the abortion. As I pointed out last week, there was this first-hand account via Pro-Life America:
    Former abortionist, Joseph Randall, M.D., says, "The picture of the baby on the ultrasound bothered me more than anything else. The staff couldn't take it. Women who were having abortions were never allowed to see the ultrasound."
    Statistically, 95% of women who see the ultrasound change their minds and choose life. There is no question as to what they are looking at. Curiously, note from the above first-hand account that the doctors and staff have problems with the ultrasound as well. How to "fix" that from a pro-abort standpoint? That's where we get into the second form of hiding the truth - numb the conscience. How is this done? From The Forerunner, here's another first-hand account from one Dr. David Brewer:

    "I remember the first abortion I witnessed. It was performed by the resident physician. I didn't know what to expect. It was my job afterward to undo the jar and see what was inside. It was a new experience, and I've always found it exciting to learn new things. When I opened the little bag, the resident physician said, `Put it on the blue cloth to see if we got everything out.'

    "I put it on the towel, and there were parts of a person. I saw a head, ribs, tiny hands, arms. It was as if someone put a hot poker into me. I had a conscience, and that hurt. ... I got to see another abortion, and then another. As I saw more abortions, it hurt less.

      "The first one I did was hard. But after a while, it didn't hurt. My heart was calloused against the fact that I was a murderer.
    Heart = conscience. But how to make up and coming doctors all do this? Easy. Require it of everyone. No conscience clause. Enter Obama's surgeon general nominee              Regina Benjamin. Her thought? All doctors should perform abortions. All in, none out. Pervert the medical system and turn the Hippocratic Oath on its head. Numb the conscience. It's not just doctors either. Nurses are under attack. In New York, Mt. Sinai Hospital recently forced a nurse to assist in an abortion even though she invoked her right as a conscientious objector to not take part. From the NY Post via drudge: Nurse 'Forced' To Help Abort.


    A Brooklyn nurse claims she was forced to choose between her religious convictions and her job when Mount Sinai Hospital ordered her to assist in a late-term abortion against her will.

    The hospital even exaggerated the patient's condition and claimed the woman could die if the nurse, a devout Catholic, did not follow orders, the nurse alleges in a lawsuit.

    The married mother of a year-old baby was 30 minutes into her early-morning shift when she realized she had been assigned to an abortion. She begged her supervisor to find a replacement nurse for the procedure. The hospital had a six-hour window to find a fill-in, the suit says.

    Bosses told the weeping Cenzon-DeCarlo the patient was 22 weeks into her pregnancy and had preeclampsia, a condition marked by high blood pressure that can lead to seizures or death if left untreated.

     The supervisor "claimed that the mother could die if [Cenzon-DeCarlo] did not assist in the abortion."

    But the nurse, the niece of a Filipino bishop, contends that the patient's life was not in danger. She argued that the patient was not even on magnesium therapy, a common treatment for preeclampsia, and did not have problems indicating an emergency.

    Her pleas were rejected, and instead she was threatened with career-ending charges of insubordination and patient abandonment, according to the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Brooklyn federal court.

     Feeling threatened, Cenzon-DeCarlo assisted in the procedure.

    She said she later learned that the hospital's own records deemed the procedure "Category II," which is not considered immediately life threatening.

    For nurses like Cenzon-DeCarlo who won't convert, won't turn a blind eye and know the obviousness of the truth, there is only one endgame - to be drummed out of the medical profession entirely. It's already begun. As I wrote about back in March, not long after Obama was sworn into office, the medical conscience rule was under assault. Without mercy. And ironically, without conscience. Don't think this is just a national issue. Michigan already is facing this issue. From MichiganVotes.org (a great site by the way), here's a description of SB 667:
    Ban pharmacist "conscientious objector" option

    Introduced by Sen. Deborah Cherry (D) on June 25, 2009, to prohibit a pharmacist from refusing to dispense or transfer a prescription based solely on his or her ethical, moral, or religious beliefs (such as prescriptions for abortion-inducing "morning after" pills like RU 486).

    It's sitting in committee. The counterpart House bill 5164 was introduced by Rep. Lisa Brown (D) and is also in committee. This is just the beginning of a push to ban the conscience outright in the medical profession. What is it they say about the banality of evil?
    The concept of the banality of evil came into prominence following the publication of Hannah Arendt's 1963 book Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, which was based on the trial of Adolph Eichmann in Jerusalem. Arendt's thesis was that people who carry out unspeakable crimes, like Eichmann, a top administrator in the machinery of the Nazi death camps, may not be crazy fanatics at all, but rather ordinary individuals who simply accept the premises of their state and participate in any ongoing enterprise with the energy of good bureaucrats.
    This is what the pro-aborts want for the medical profession. If they can't sear your conscience to the truth, then you will simply not work in this sector of the economy in the future. Beware of false information. Soften your hearts (ie - keep a fine-tuned conscience), and do not allow it to become hardened.

    That the medical profession (or at least as it is being divined by leftist advocates and politicians) should move from the absolutes of Hippocrates to the mindlessness of sociopathy.

    Another mind opening post.
