One last thing about the death panel stuff.
If you wonder why pro life people, particularly the Catholic Church keep fighting when all this stuff goes on it’s because they have seen the culture of life degenerate since Roe v. Wade. They have seen assisted suicide and euthanasia in the western world. The see the Capewell case and they understand what the fight is all about.
They understand in the great tradition of Margaret Sanger the death panel isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. And once there are guidelines are in place people who would normally be considered good and moral people will embrace those features and say they were just following guidelines or didn’t want to rock the boat. Just as otherwise good people and good neighbors embraced slavery and Jim Crow without giving it a second thought or if they had those thoughts kept them to themselves. The change will be gradual, it will be a gentle slope:
You will say that these are very small sins; and doubtless, like all young tempters, you are anxious to be able to report great wickedness. But do remember, the only thing that matters is the extent to which you separate the man from the Enemy. It does not matter how small the sins are provided that their cumulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and out into Nothing. Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one-— the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.
If this passes I predict that in ten years we will be told that our instance of the preservation of life and the treatment of the elderly will be called “unreasonable” and the argument of “quality of life” and “economy” and “guidelines” will be used as an excuse to end life.
It’s not a bug it’s a feature

Hi Datechguy,
“You predict in ten years” it is already here. People in nursing homes, (I worked in one) whenever the elderly are let us say “no more use” and are not “quiet dead” but still “hanging on” maybe a little “too long” they remove all feeding tubes and the person has no hydration at all. They literally die of starvation and thirst. It takes them about two weeks. This is exaclty what they did to Terrie Shivo in Florida a few years back. If you remember she had an accident that left her as more or less a vegetable. Her husband wanted to remarry, all the parents asked for was not to kill her and they would take her, and the husband could divorce her and remarry. But this did not happen and her tubes were removed and she was given no water and she died soon afterwards.
I love animals but our society today, protects the lives of animals more than we do human lives. Starve a dog and see what happens to you. You are fined and can go to jail. Starve a person and we call it humane. We have become a society where regard for human life is no more, and I am sorry if you disagree/agree with, it is the same for those in the womb. I saw an abortion picture where a baby’s head was sucked off of his little body. Another had his little arms sucked off.
I read about a nurse who assisted in abortions and these late term abortions they stab the baby in the neck but they must do it before it is completely out of the mother. The nurse said the reaction of the baby is horrible. She finally had to quit the profession as she could not stand it anymore. Also they do it by burning the baby with a solution and it’s little body is just charred. Then they just lay it on a table and if it is not dead they wait.
Regard for human life is nothing anymore and you are correct will only get worse as time goes on. I hope I am dead by then.
