Obama, Life, Exhaustion

October 25, 2012 by Gerard M. Nadal

A rare rant here at Coming Home.

Shoveling against the tide. That’s been the pro-life reality under President Barak Hussein Obama. It’s difficult to advance a Culture of Life behind the iron curtain of the Culture of Death.

It’s draining. Exhausting.

The corruption of the scientific and medical communities by abortion and its allies has hampered the advancement of the healing arts by dimensions that are staggeringly incalculable. The waste of precious dollars on abortion, and cleaning up its mess, on cleaning up the mess left behind by the sexual promiscuity promoted by Planned Parenthood (STD’s, AIDS) is similarly staggering. The direct costs are easily well above $1 Trillion. Consider the cost of:

55 Million abortions since Roe v. Wade
Treating hundreds of millions of STD’s since the late 1960’s
The research costs around AIDS (largely an STD)
The hospitalization costs and medication costs of AIDS {$36.4 Billion per year}

Then there was the solid economic impact study conducted by Dennis M. Howard, founder of Movement for a Better America

“We found that the 50.5 million surgical abortions since 1970 have cost the U.S. an astonishing $35 trillion dollars,” in lost Gross Domestic Product, he told LifeNews.com. “However, if you include all the babies lost to IUDs, RU-486, sterilization, and abortifacients, the number climbs to $70 trillion.”

$70 Trillion

Drink that in. We’re in a panic over Obama’s staggering debt load of $16 Tillion, yet the lifestyle advocated by BO and his fellow travelers, in both parties, has cost us $70 Trillion and counting.

The lost opportunities for curing diseases and treating disorders. The lost lives who might well have prevented wars or invented new technologies.

Read the rest at Howard’s site.

So what have we been reduced to by all of this?

We have Obama’s healthcare replete with death panels, with a rationing czar who came here for 2 1/2 years to set up a rationing program for healthcare because the same government that has sponsored this civilizational suicide has now established itself as the arbiters of who among the survivors will die first in order to assure a better quality of life for the remainder.

It’s filthy and grubby, but to be honest, it’s who and what we have become as a people. We voted them in. We tolerated the evil, even participated in it. We let it happen.

The lost money, the lost time and talent of all who work at shoveling against this tide of sewage, the lost opportunities to work for healing surgeries and therapies that would ameliorate the coldest of eugenic hearts…

What have we done to ourselves?

There is one more good chance to elect a president who will overturn Obamacare. Just one more.

But to be certain, the change of hearts will continue to consume the time and creative energies of some of the best and brightest among us for decades to come. More lost opportunities for advancing what was once the greatest civilization in the history of the world; but what else can we do?

Still, there is the hope that people have begun to see what we have collectively wrought-and now wish to change.

Maybe.

Hopefully.

    There may be a choice of president before us now, but there is no real choice in changing the abortion laws. Neither candidate is interested in doing that. The only difference is that one is willing to lie about his position to get votes.

    There is no hope of overturning Roe v Wade. None. Don’t think any president can or will do that. If ever, it’s certainly not going to happen in your lifetime. That doesn’t mean giving up hope for changing hearts and minds, because there is hope; there is not much hope, but some. The task is tremendous. Be prepared for disappointment and exhaustion going forward, because those realities will characterize the effort henceforward, Save one life at a time, and never keep count.
