Big ups to CNS News and the Catholic Press for this story. Sadly, that's true. See the proof below."Thanks to an Obamacare regulation that took effect on Aug. 1, health care plans in Oregon will now be required to provide free sterilizations to 15- year-old girls even if the parents of those girls do not consent to the procedure"
Think back to when you were 15. Were you ready to make life changing decisions then? Oh, sure you may have made immature decisions such as 'do I do drugs which could fry my brain' or 'should I get in a car with that stoned guy?' But I'm talking about the State of Oregon conferring upon a 15 year old girl the exclusive right to decide whether she'll ever have children. Fifteen? That's a pretty serious decision for a kid of that age.
I didn't have kids until much later than that. A lot of living and maturing went into those intervening years. Fifteen year olds are not able to make decisions about permanent sterility. It's a sick and perverse society that puts that serious decision in their hands and cuts out parental involvement. That's right, Mom and Dad, you're not allowed into the conversation.Oregon Democrats led by John Kitzhaber went-all-in on ObamaCare. This is their legacy.
Let me ask you: Should a 15 year old also be entrusted to decide whether she should for example amputate an arm or leg or breast for no reason other than she considers it a hindrance? If not, why not? In Obama's world a 15 year old (and in some places younger) can decide to cut out her tubes so she'll never be able to bear children. Just because you can't see them, doesn't make them any less important to a woman's body.
Nancy Pelosi told a reporter before and after ObamaCare was passed about the sterilization rules. She denied they existed both times. She's a liar.
I know there are dirt-bag-tweaker-baby-machines out there that these Master Race Eugenicists want to stop from having kids--forever. They are the same social engineers who place their Planned Parenthoods in black neighborhoods and cheer-lead the President's own pro infanticide moves while a State Senator in Illinois. Now they "entrust" the decision on whether to ever have kids on a kid who's 15. Gee, wonder how THAT conversation will go...? I wonder if THESE
I don't want dirtbags to have kids, either. But you don't pass a law like this which cuts out parental consent (in this or abortions for that matter) for ALL parents of 15 year olds. This is anti family, anti American and unethical.
How sad. I wonder if he even read it? As a physician, I cannot fathom how he can even think that this is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI put my response to that in my post. There are a cohort of people who think some people should procreate AND WILL DO SOMETHING TO MAKE SURE THEY CANNOT. It's all for the 'greater good' of course.
DeleteTargeting people who are inadequately equipped to think it through.
ReplyDeleteAnd to make matters worse, the fact that there is public financing for these programs provides the false impression that the public, the kid's own parents, neighbors, and everyone else, SUPPORTS the affirmative decision to accept the "treatment", in this case irreversible sterilization. But this is just the present example.
Thus this becomes not only an unethical and immoral "medical" program, it fuels its forward momentum by psychological manipulation which encourages the immature mind to go through with it.
Outrageous beyond words and un-American, exactly like so much of the far left's activity is.

ReplyDeleteDon't you have To be 18 to get a tattoo or get cosmetic surgery?
Tattoo? Heck, they aren't even allowed to have other kids in a car when they drive, or to drive late at night until 18.
ReplyDeleteBut this sterilization program shouldn't exist at all for persons under 21 unless there is some mental health problem (I have seen this) or bona-fide medical reason to justify it even be considered.

Sigh. This false report is getting traction everywhere. If you had read the legislative history, you would know that this law has been on the books since the early 1990s. In other words, it predates Obamacare by 20 years.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to do honest reporting, you would ask for state records showing the actual experience for sterilizations over the past two decades. There's no need to speculate or blame the wrong person when the actual public record is sitting right there for any enterprising journalist to study.
Hey Nozzl,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. I feel so much better that this is an Oregon tradition rather than than outside values foisted upon us.
I don't mind a healthy debate on the matter. But it should be a debate based on the actual facts.
