Chuck Norris On Mother Mary and Obamacare
Chuck Norris believes that if Mary, the mother of our savior, had access to Obamacare, she would have been advised out of the pregnancy by the local Bethlehem branch of Planned Parenthood:
Lastly, as we sit on the eve of another Christmas, I wonder: What would have happened if Mother Mary were covered by Obamacare? What if that young, poor uninsured teenaged woman were 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? Will Obamacare morph into Herodcare for the unborn? Imagine all the great souls who could have been erased from history and the influence of mankind, if only they too would have been as progressive as Washington’s wise men and women!

I object to using the Holy Mother as a prop in the health care debate. It borders on sacrilege. Leave her out of it. Besides there was that conversation with the Archangel Gabriel and Mary’s acquiescence to be a willing servant of god. Who are you going to listen to anyway, an archangel or some Planned Parenthood social worker? This analogy is a stretch when used in this context and in some cultures writing something like this would get you stoned to death.
I guess the implication here is that Emmanuel, if he was scheduled to arrive in the time of Obamacare would have had his mission scuttled by a pro-choice society. He might never have seen the light of day.
“Imagine all the great souls who would have been erased from history”; now imagine all the Genghis Khans who would have offset those great souls who would also have been erased. Naw, the argument just doesn’t fly with me Chuck.
By the way, to follow up on your point, Herod had his own family planning program in place at time, only he was quite content to kill newborns as well as unborns. Didn’t matter much back then. Are you really going to compare Obama to Herod? There were 1.37 million abortions in the United States in 1996. Assuming a similar number this year, are you going to lay this on Obama?
Why is it that you let the women who go to have the procedure off the hook and blame Obama who had no input on the decision or procedure in the first place? Doesn’t make sense. Seems to me that your problem is with those women not Obama.
Chuck, you may be suffering from a disconnect between church teaching and real life. Nobody has been able to reconcile the two. Yes, stoning people to death has been tried but even that didn’t persuade anybody. We just have not come up with a way to resolve this issue. Certainly you haven’t.
Civic leaders cannot be blamed for human behavior. They didn’t create the species and they can’t dictate to women how to deal with pregnancy issues. You can try Chuck, but good luck on that one.
