Pro Life Means Earlier Death


What is the importance of " a life" or "one life?" Statistically, the average length of life indicates the attention paid to individuals' health. Increasing the health of individuals extends their average age. If everyone who claims to be "prolife," especially politicians, we would see more people using the health care profession and following what it advises. The U.S. ranks low in life longevity. At least some resources that should go to extend average life statistics goes to fighting abortion. 

We can start with health care related to pregnancies. The care of pregnant women in the U.S. is a sorry story. Politicians are far more interested in fetuses than the women who carry them. Forcing women to give birth raises the probability of death to the woman. 

Two economists recently published a book about the U.S. healthcare system. They pointed out there currently is enough money spent in the system to pay for free "entry level" care for every citizen. People already receive "free care" by showing up in emergency rooms with no money or health insurance. Hospitals are required by law to care for them, even if the hospital is not paid. The only way to pay for this service is to raise the price of care from those who have insurance or pay by other means. By making some elementary level of care free many expensive cases will be caught early and resolved with minimal cost. Countries around the world do not charge for this low-level care and have a.) better outcomes with longer lives and b.) lower costs nationwide. 

If "prolife" activists were really interested in saving lives they would be outspoken advocates of taxpayer supported medical care without charge to all citizens. This would include illegal non citizens. They are part of today's medical system. 

Data and experience have proven beyond any doubt the "prolife" political operation has little to no interest in saving lives. Their interest is in controlling women. The medical system endorsed by prolife is one that ends people's lives early.

Maybe the "Original Sin" Should be Reassigned

Image
We can all agree most Catholic priests are fine people and not guilty of sexual abuse. What Catholics must face, however, it that their church harbors executives who are dishonest . There is an incredible story about the Argentine Bishop Zanchetta. The Pope worked with him in Argentina and they are considered friends. Around 2015 Zanchetta sent nude pictures of himself and they began circulating world wide. He also was too friendly with young seminarians and some left because of him.  Three different officials say they made formal complaints to the Vatican about Zanchetta between 2015 and 2017. Yet, in 2018, the Vatican claimed it was unaware of any complaints about Zanchetta. This might be a good time to repeat the Catholic hierarchy claims to have the sole authority handed down from Jesus to what the faith stands for. It condemns as sinners those who practice birth control, have abortions and gay sexual relationships. Handing the hierarchy this responsibility would make som

The Religious Capitol Invaders May Yet Win

Image
So much about U.S. society and religion can be learned from the Civil War and what happened afterwards. After its defeat, the South started a myth about the unethical soldiers from the North. The South fought for principles of God and states rights. The North did not. It was the South, this propaganda told the country, that had the high moral ground.  The Capitol invaders, encouraged by Trump, swallowed the myth that Biden's election was stolen. Thus, they think they held and still hold the high moral ground. This was reinforced by the cross and prayers during the invasion. Even with Trump is gone, we will see political opportunists like Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley stroking crowds and feeding the same lies as Trump. Like "the South will rise again" these gullible followers will talk of victory over the unclean. After the Civil War the South rallied around the phrase, Lost Cause. For decades, and maybe to this day, there are ceremonies remembering fallen martyrs, Re

Father Frank Pavone, the Ultimate Crook

Image
Recently, the Vatican defrocked Frank Pavone. His diehard fans are outraged. This is because he cleverly manipulated his fans and the press all the while living well from donations and, apparently, abusing some women. By making abortion the "sin" of the century, and himself the main opposition to this one sin, he himself could get away with any sin he pleased.  As the link points out, Pavone was the perfect priest for the Trump era. Trump is so self-important laws have no role in his life. He felt accountable to no one. Women were there to be had. Pavone and Trump are interchangeable.  Pavone was very successful raising money. In his mind, abortion was so important in Catholic beliefs and he was so important in anti-abortion the money he raised opposing it was his to do with what he liked. The Catholic Church, the brand name he used to raise this money, thought the money belonged to it. When he gave the Vatican the bird, it gave him walking papers. With polls showing the majo
