What would have happened if Mother Mary had been covered by Obamacare? What if that young, poor and uninsured teenage woman had been provided the federal funds (via Obamacare) and facilities (via Planned Parenthood, etc.) to avoid the ridicule, ostracizing, persecution and possible stoning because of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy? Imagine all the great souls who could have been erased from history and the influence of mankind if their parents had been as progressive as Washington’s wise men and women! (Source)
Hm. Ignoring the whole ‘angels appeared to mary to tell her about her pregnancy’ thing, I don’t think this is so much about “Obamacare” as it is about legalized abortion and the money to afford an abortion. Obviously, the only ‘solution’ is to outlaw abortion, or make sure teenage mothers are so poor that they can’t afford abortions.
Also, I wonder why this argument can’t also work as an argument against legalized contraception:
What if that young, poor and uninsured teenage woman had been provided the federal funds (via Obamacare) and facilities (via Planned Parenthood, etc.) to [get contraceptives and] avoid the ridicule, ostracizing, persecution and possible stoning because of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy? Imagine all the great souls who could have been erased from history and the influence of mankind if their parents had been as progressive as Washington’s wise men and women!
Sounds like a good argument for outlawing the use of tax dollars for contraceptives and for making contraceptives illegal — who knows how many ‘great souls have already been erased from history’ because of contraceptives? The Democrats are making war on the unconceived, an oft-forgotten segment of the unborn population!
For that matter, imagine the number of great souls who have been erased from history and the influence of mankind because of sexual abstinence. Clearly, abstinence is robbing mankind of so many great souls. What’s that pro-lifers? A woman should be allowed to do what she wants with her own body? What a topsy-turvy world we live in.
We should outlaw abortion, outlaw contraceptives, outlaw abstinence, and outlaw homosexuality* (*it doesn’t lead to conception, and therefore, robs humanity of great souls).
I also enjoyed this quote:
In short, while President Obama was accepting the Nobel Peace Prize, the Democrats in Congress drove a sword through the womb of the unborn.
Drove a sword through the womb of the unborn? Perhaps he meant the wombs of their mothers? Oh, and the fact that “driving a sword” seems to imply forced abortions mandated by the state.
For that matter, how many great souls have been erased from humanity because women are not forced to be pregnant or in labor throughout all of their fertile years?
Maybe if we had had Obama care, Herod would not have been born, hmm? Sounds more likely.
Also, the ridicule, ostracizing, persecution and possible stoning because of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy would be coming from Norris’s side, so maybe he should just stop that part and yeah…
I think (and others) really believe Obamacare will mean forced abortions. Seriously.
The god of Chuck Norris is apparently a weak-assed god. What a pathetic version of divinity. Does he really think that the almighty creator of the universe couldn’t arrange things to make sure that his own kid was born when and how he wanted him to be born? Regardless of the actions of human beings? If not, then by what rights can Norris consider him a god at all – if mere humans acting as human beings can foil his plans so easily he’s less a god and more of a pathetic little daemon.
Seriously – do Christians realize how ridiculous this all is? Their god is supposed to be freaking ALL POWERFUL. That phrase means something very specific, and it doesn’t mean that his plans are going to be thwarted because a woman is able to get an abortion.
(And does Norris actually believe that abortions didn’t exist until they were legalized in the US? I’m fairly certain that “abortions” existed in the first century AD. There are herbs that were known abortifacents even back then and women would use them if they had to. They were dangerous – you were essentially poisoning yourself – but if you were desperate it’s what you did. Abortions have been around for a very, very long time – it’s just in the last century that we decided that women shouldn’t have to run the risk of dying just to get one.)
