Why would anyone want to deny a pregnant woman prenatal care.
While it may be true (to a point) that some abortions are merely for the convenience of the mother; it is also true that many of these tests avoid giving birth to severly disabled or malformed children who would never know a "normal" life.
Many of these children have a built in life-span (depending on the condition) and are subjected to nothing but an existence of pain and multiple hospitalizations.
These conditions cause the parents untold amounts of anguish and pain watching their child suffer.
The one prayer of these parents is to live just one day longer than their child.
I'm personally against any unnecessary abortions, especially late term abortions,
To me; this is murder pure and simple.
Where do doctors; who are willing to stab scissors into the brains of these babies; come from.??!!
The election of Santorum may just be the worst thing that could happen with his insistence on bringing his own religious beliefs into government.
Obama has made several grave mistakes when it comes to patriotism, supporting the Constitution, our beliefs as a Christian nation and health care.
Most of those running a candidates for the office of the Presidency have made some of these same mistakes.
This coutry needs a real "leader" who will take us back to our original support of the two documents that guided the US to the free and prosperous nation we were.!!
Santorum is a nut job, anyone who votes for this guy needs to have their head examined, and he needs to stop preaching the word of God, and tell us how he's going to create jobs and fix the economy, there's always a time and place for religion and politics and the White House is not one of them
My heart is feeling real great after reading these posts which expose Santorum for what he really is!!!
If he is nearly as wonderful as he claims... why did his own people of PA. vote him out of office last time around? I believe that the people of PA. found this dangerous man out to be more dangerous than what most already thought.
Is he attempting a run at a political position within the church itself... or does he finally want to bring government and church together?
All one has to do is listen to his NON SENSE to see that Santorum is a WHACK JOB a very dangerous WHACK JOB!!!!!
Ladies, if you ever get pregnant, don't forget that Ricky Santorum says that prenatal testing is BAD for babies!
Too bad that his Mom didn't have any prenatal testing, or she would have known she was giving birth to a brain-damaged Santorum. He is a walking failed abortion, so no wonder he feels so strongly about that nasty prenatal testing.
I really like your post a lot as you nailed that goof ball right on the head. I like your term DOOFUS better. This DOOFUS is involved in more double talk and making non substantive claims... he can make a sane person dizzy. Some mines are dangerous cesspools and DOOFUS claims there should be no enviornmental oversight. What happens the very next time there is another mine disaster? He doesn't care about miners or anyone else. Why did his own people of PA.vote him out of office last time? He does not bring that up!
And once again, Ricky is lying his Santorum off. Here is a list of prenatal screening tests covered under the ACA:
General Testing Blood Test Paternity Testing Urine Test Ultrasound Rh Factor Testing First Trimester Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) First Trimester Screen Second Trimester Amniocentesis Cordocentesis : Percutaneous Umbilical Blood Sampling (PUBS) Maternal Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein Screening (MSAFP) Quad Screen Triple Screen Test : Multiple Marker Screen Third Trimester Biophysical Profile (BPP) Fetal Non-Stress Test (NST) Glucose Challenge Screening & Glucose Tolerance Test (NST) Group B strep test
Please note that the only test on this list that is now mandated by the ACA to be given without cost sharing to pregnant women, should they choose to have it (which they really should), is the glucose tolerance test, done to detect the presence of gestational diabetes.
Oooo, doesn't Ricky's God frown on deliberately lying?
Good lord, Mr. Santorum is obviously unaware that it's 2012 and the US is not a theocracy.
Taliban Rick would get crushed in a national election - funny, a month ago the establishment GOP thought Gingrich was a problem. They've got a huge problem on their hands with this crack pot.
When are these guys going to stop believing that they should be making medical decisions on behalf of women and their doctors. That they have the right to determine what is medically necessary? And,
"because free prenatal testing ends up in more abortions and therefore less care that has to be done because we cull the ranks of the disabled in our society"
What a leap! Wow...
Also, I notice that we haven't heard anything about viagra, cialis or other ED drugs being eliminated from insurance coverage, but our birth control and pre-natal care is called into question by these zealots. Amazing!!
I've long known that Rick Santorum is mentally disturbed. It was just a matter of time before this control freak would expose himself and he is to those citizens of this country who haven't been indoctrinated by the Republican thought police.
