California Attemps to Legalize the Murder of Depressed People

Well friends, there's been a lot of news since I signed off on Thursday evening, Hurricane Gustav hogging most of the airwaves as I write this. They've done an amazing job clearing people out of harm's way this time and that's all I'm going to post about that. All one has to do is turn on the boob tube for five minutes to see what's going on. Then of course there's the affect this is having on the Republican convention. I'm not going into that either. Anyone interested in politics already knows about it. Then we have McCain picking Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, as his choice for vp. I'm sure everyone has posted about that already, or at least nearly everyone. My opinion, I think she's a wonderful choice, but that's not what this post is about either.

Instead, I'm posting something my friend Paula sent me a head's up on:

"California plans to drug depressed patients to death." This article can be found at Free Republic, World Net Daily, Conservative Underground, Live Journal and probably many other websites as well. (Bold is mine):

Just as Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama was in Denver preaching to a crowd of thousands of fans about the "change" he wants to see in the United States, his party compatriots in the California Legislature were making a "change," by approving a controversial plan that would allow nurses to assist terminally ill patients with suicide.

"AB 2747 allows a physician assistant or a nurse to opine that a patient is 'terminal,' and then push for unnatural death by 'palliative sedation,'" said Randy Thomasson, chief of the Campaign for Children and Families shortly after the vote.

"Depressed patients who succumb to this pressure will be drugged unconscious and die from dehydration, usually within five to 10 days. Nothing in the bill prohibits this horror," he said. Forty-two Democrats in California voted in favor of the plan: 30 Republicans and two Democrats opposed the plan.

"AB 2747 pushes suicide through the back door at the hands of non-physicians taking advantage of depressed patients," Thomasson said. His organization has been alerting Californians to raise their concerns about the plan for sudden death with floor alerts, phone calls and e-mails.

So, did you get that? This bill would let a physician's assistant or a nurse make a life or death decision of a patient! What the hell? Somehow we must put a stop to this. The supposed "party of the people" pushes for the murder of babies and depressed people. I will not mince words. This is legalized murder and is beyond disgusting! People pushing for such a thing are nothing but spawns from Hell! We're getting "change" all right. Is this the sort of change we want? If so, then go right ahead and vote for Obama. Just pray that you don't ever end up non compos mentis.
