I live in a country with national health care, and I am grateful for it. I think President Obama is right to push for major changes in America's dispicable excuse for a health care industry.
But, if he signs a health care bill that includes funding for abortion, it will haunt his legacy until the day he dies.
I admire a lot about Ronald Reagan, but I have never fully respected him for the unforgivable way he chose to ignore the early days of AIDS during his administration. Out of ignorance that it was a 'gay disease' he turned his head away, and cost us precious years on a battle that has now claimed millions of lives. Just think if we could have cut this monster's head off right at the beginning.
I believe in much the same way, if President Obama allows abortion funding to become part of a new federal health care plan...it will cast a shadow over him and his presidency like nothing else.
I didn't vote for Obama, but I've admired a lot about him and thought him to be a good man with a vision.
But if he signs that bill, any last shred of respect I had for him will be gone. Nothing else he ever does will ever matter.
Take that for what it's worth Mr. President.
And look around...see that brave 'DEMOCRATIC' congressman (Bart Stupak of Michigan) is the one leading the campaign against this plan. When members of your own party are leading the charge 'against' you....maybe that should tell you something.
