President Obama Names Pro-Abortion Kathleen Sebelius Health Secretary

Washington, DC -- Strongly pro-abortion Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has accepted President Barack Obama's request to serve as the Health Secretary. Sebelius has one of the most radical pro-abortion record of any elected official and a longstanding relationship with a late-term abortion practitioner.

White House officials told the New York Times as late as February 18 that Sebelius had emerged as Obama's leading choice for the position. Then, this week, they acknowledged that her pro-abortion record could cause problems for her nomination.

Obama's decision to announce his selection on a Saturday is designed to play down news coverage of his selection of a hardcore abortion advocate to lead his health care reform efforts and to implement his pro-abortion agenda.

He will make the announcement official on Monday.

As the health secretary, Sebelius could have an impact in crafting a health care plan that could cover abortions with taxpayer funds or require insurance companies to cover abortions in their plans.

Did she pay her taxes? How big and scary is the skeleton in her closet? Inquiring minds want to know.

The baby killers are on the loose in Washington. Congratulations to all the Obamacorns.

Evil all around. Remember in “the end” evil does not prevail...

May as well just go ahead and give Joseph Mengele
a phostumus nomination while you're at it.

Our archbishop told her not to receive communion. I’m guessing her parish priest prances out and gives it to her every Sunday. Sickening. But at least we get her out of the state.

The woman is the child and grandchild of professional politicians. Her husband writes warrants for federal police.

No one in her family has had honest employment for generations.

Topping it off she hates babies with a passion.

It was noted that she was raised as a Catholic and attended Catholic schools and even has a Catholic college degree. Unfortunately not a single element of Catholic instruction of any kind rubbed off on her.

I would not hire this woman to watch a cash register.

This is disgusting.

Prolifers must become more vocal in opposing this culture of death that is the Obama Administration.

Bishops and other Church leaders must speak out, as Bishop Martino of Scranton did this week in his letter to Sen. Bob Casey.

Unfortunately as you get her out of Kansas she'll move to the Washington DC area ~ as will a number of her hangers-on and syncophants.

Those pukes think of this area as "great access to main highways" and move in all over the place.

We'll have to be more vigilent, particularly if any small children get kidnapped off the streets.

A nearby community had that problem when the Clintonistas lived around here ~ this, BTW, is no joke. A certain class of Democrat attracts such trashy people and this ol'gal is one of 'em.

Kill the unborn children first, then ration health care to the elderly and we are on our way to doing away with global warming.

Great - maybe she can prevent the entire nation from being punished by having children.

My priest, visiting priest, and I had a conservation this evening about the Conscience Clause that Bush signed into law right before he left office.

It looks like Obama will be rescinding it.

From what I have been hearing it was going to be rescinded after he nominated his Health Secretary. (I guess the unborn's health doesn't matter)

Obama could not have made a worse choice. This a a big slap in the face to the Prolife Movement:

“Sebelius is most notorious for her close relationship with late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller, who has escaped prosecution and accountability thus far for allegedly repeatedly violating state abortion laws. However, a judge recently ruled charges against him from the state attorney general’s office can move ahead.

He’s done so in part because of the lax standards of Sebelius and her political allies, to whom Tiller has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars. Governor Sebelius vetoed a bill last April that the legislature approved that would have strengthened the state’s limits on late-term abortions.

That followed by a year her veto of a bill requiring explicit medical reasons for a late abortion, which was preceded by vetoing other pro-life legislation in 2006, 2005 and 2003.

Sebelius went as far as to coordinate a secret event with Tiller at the governor’s mansion that was criticized because her staff failed to officially report the event.

Her position favoring abortion is so radical and extreme that Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City called on her to stop receiving communion until she disowns her support for the “serious moral evil” of abortion.”

I’m sure many folks in Kansas will be glad to be rid of her. Not only is she pro baby killing, she is a wannabe gun grabber as well. She has fought the 2nd Amendment at every opportunity.

With this one in charge of healthcare I fully expect forced abortions to arrive in America in the very near future.If someone is pregnant might be a good idea for them not to be a registered voter!

Except now she's at the Federal level.

Is that any better?
