From Family Planning to Death Planning ( baby-boomers are next in line for euthanasia)
ce ^ | August 15, 2009 | Fr. Thomas Euteneuer

Posted on 08/15/2009 5:24:30 AM PDT by NYer

It’s time to kiss grandma goodbye. Do it while you can, especially if she is sick. I am not being facetious here. The healthcare debate is deadly serious for seniors and those who will need a greater amount of health care in the coming years. People approaching retirement age will be obliged to start planning for death soon, and the government is more than ready to help them. According to this wicked bill, HR 3200, there are generous provisions setting the stage to weed out the weak, infirm and unfit and make room for the fit, all at the government’s discretion. The list of chilling dictates that will affect all seniors and ill persons is just frightening [see sidebar for references]. I note just a few relevant provisions from the 1018-page document:

Another curious fact: of the 31 occurrences of the word "planning" in the text of this massive bill, fifteen of them are in the sections dealing with death planning (always called "advanced care planning"), nine are in the sections on "family planning" (code words for abortion, sex education and contraception) and the other seven are about government bureaucratic functioning. Isn’t it strange that a society which has worshipped "freedom of choice" for so long is now on the verge of surrendering its freedom and choices to government planners?

The only reason we have our elderly being set up for systematic extermination now is because our culture has been so deeply brainwashed by the contraceptive and abortive mentalities that come from decades of "family planning" propaganda. The devaluation of human life at one end of the spectrum leaves the other end of the life spectrum completely vulnerable to the depredations of the power-mongers in Washington. Albert Schweitzer said that "if a man loses his reverence for any part of life, he will lose his reverence for all of life." In terms of the current healthcare debate that would mean: when you sow family planning, you reap death planning. It’s that simple.

How ironic that President Obama’s so-called overhaul of the healthcare system in this country comes just at the time when the number of senior citizens is set to double. If the "Greatest Generation" gave our nation the technology and the prosperity to have the highest standard of living and best healthcare system in the world — bar none — then that generation will be the first to be killed off by the same technology — and all for altruistic reasons based on lifestyle and efficiency. Needless to say, the baby-boomers are next in line for euthanasia.

Those who still value life and are now being called into a very personal pro-life battle, one that threatens to strike at the very center of our families: our parents and grandparents. Just as we have always stood united in our defense of the rights of the unborn, we must adamantly resist this heinous program to hand over life and death planning to the government. Those decisions must stay in the hands of God. We must resist this wickedness now, while we still have breath.

Fr. Tom Euteneuer is president of Human Life International.

It is to be noted as well, that the baby boomer generation also contributed to the elimination of 50 million taxpayers, through legalized abortion. You reap what you sow.

The bill should be called HR666.

An appropriate name for this would be the “American Auschwitz Bill”

Won’t happen, Bill Clinton wouldn’t dare allow James Taylor to get the dirt nap. Now my understanding is that the Grateful Dead are now truly grateful.

Trading Roy Rogers for John Lennon seemed like the cool thing to do at the time...

I have long thought (and occasionally been ridiculed for it) that the boomers - I am a tail-end boomer myself - were going to get a nasty surprise once they started reaching 65. They had instilled so few values in their own children that many of those children would gladly shove mom/dad off to the rendering plant for convenience's sake alone. Add the thought of grabbing their assets (in whatever forms) to the convenience factor and the kids would trip over themselves to get ma and pa into some sort of holding pen that would keep them out of the way until the reaper showed up

(And if he was a bit slow, maybe the process could be sped up.)

BigBrotherBam has shown the way, from vaporizing 401K's while making sure Goldman Sachs remains well-fed, to putting a smiley face on Logan's Run health care. Meanwhile, Janus-faced Democrat party-controlled organizations like AARP blandly solicit funds from boomers too politicized and placated to see that they are financing their own extinction, but not to worry... all is well. "We took out the death panels that we told you weren't there."

(Old) fleeced sheep to the slaughter.

With all due respect to Fr. Eutenauer, the “greatest generation” was not us baby boomers but our parents who are largely gone already. OTOH, whatever the moral, spiritual and political deficiencies of us boomers, we are verrrrrry good at being the pig in the python and we vote. If Comrade O expects boomers to go away quietly to save the gummint money, he is in for a verrrrry rude surprise at the polling precincts of America in 2010 and beyond.

But I thought that the “Deathcare” provisions that weren’t in the bill, were taken out?

[of the 31 occurrences of the word “planning” in the text of this massive bill, fifteen of them are in the sections dealing with death planning (always called “advanced care planning”),]

If the majority of Americans used their brains and read the bill, it would destroy the democrat marxist plan to destroy American rights and liberties in the obamanation of health care.
But as sure as facts are stubborn, people are even more stubborn when they are wrong.
It is a fight for freedom and I hope the republicans and some of the conservative democrats stand up and vote down the obamanation of health care robbery.

Socialist health care plans always murder people as they do in Europe and all communist nations that hate the God of Israel and His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour and coming King of the whole earth.
But the blind sheep just don’t see the truth.

At least one attorney is offering to help people legally protect themselves from being tricked by a death panel into being euthanized:

Boomers had nothing to do with legalizing abortion. Who do you think was running the nation almost entirely from the 1930s until the 1990s? It wasn't boomers.

"Boomers-the generation that said don’t trust anyone over 30."

That is a quote from Jerry Rubin, he was not a boomer, in fact he is from the generation of John McCain, John Lennon and Jane Fonda.

Roe versus Wade was decided in 1973, it was all done by old people, boomer Sarah Palin was only nine years old, the very oldest boomer alive was only twenty seven.
