Abortion, Vaccines, and Autism

Perhaps the mass media can interrupt its coverage of Kate Gosselin's disappointment at being eliminated from "Dancing With The Stars" and instead address a study released by the Environmental Protection Agency. According to the agency's report there is "a correlation" between the use of aborted fetal cells in vaccines to a rise in autism rates.

The study, which was published in February in Environmental Science & Technology, does not assert that there is a cause-and-effect relationship between the aborted cells in vaccines and autism, but it does "confirm 1988 as a 'change point' in the rise of Autism Disorder rate." 1988 is an important year because the "Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices added a second dose of the MMR vaccine, containing fetal cells from aborted babies, to its recommendations."

Don't expect many media outlets to report the results of this study. Abortion is the Sacred Cow of the Left, and the mass media is dominated by the Left. Just as pro-choice supporters have worked overtime to bury or dismiss research suggesting a correlation between abortion and breast cancer, we can expect the same response to this possible abortion-vaccine-autism link.

And forget the pharmaceutical industry. Like all corporations they are concerned only with the bottom-line. If it generates revenue, then it is good.

For years society has justified abortion as a personal choice that affects nobody but the pregnant woman undergoing the procedure. It has allowed us to sleep peacefully at night, resting comfortably in the knowledge that "we are not forcing our beliefs on others". Well, if the EPA's research is accurate we must face the truth that abortion has victimized others besides those involved in the procedure.

Further research is necessary. We owe it to the innocent children who may be suffering from autism because of this suggested abortion-vaccine-autism link.

Surprise! Surprise!

More than a few Americans were optimistic that "universal" healthcare legislation would tame the skyrocketing costs of healthcare coverage. I am one of them. Surprise! Surprise! According to the Los Angeles Times, "The new law doesn't prevent rate hikes such as Anthem Blue Cross' double-digit increase last year."

That's right.

Government regulators do not have the authority to regulate increases. Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein (CA) states the obvious when she acknowledges that "it is a very big loophole in health reform." As it stands now Americans can expect to pay higher taxes to finance Pres Obama's healthcare legislation, while simultaneously paying more for their own individual coverage. Ironic? Jerry Flanagan, medical policy director of Consumer Watchdog, thinks so: "The irony here is that it was the Anthem rate increase that breathed new life into the healthcare bill. But there is nothing in this bill to guarantee that it doesn't happen again."

Perhaps that is the goal. If premiums continue to rise drastically, at some point it may become cost-effective for Americans to forgo buying their own healthcare insurance and to instead opt for government coverage. This would be welcome news to those politicians whose goal is to increase the U.S. government's involvement in our lives.

Maybe I am reading too much into it?

But maybe I'm not.

Delusional

Delusions of Grandeur.

The psychiatric condition is defined as a "delusional conviction of one's own importance, power, or knowledge or that one is, or has a special relationship with, a deity or a famous person." I am not a mental health expert, but I would add one other element to the definition: a condition common among New Agers.

New Agers believe that Man is a potential god, and that once we learn the "secret wisdom" of the universe this inner deity will become manifest. In the eyes of New Agers, Jesus was not "The" Christ, but only "a" Christ. He was not special. He simply achieved the level of Christ-consciousness that all enlightened people can reach by tapping into the Creative Energy floating through the universe. Just as you tune-in to the proper wavelength to listen to a radio station, so you would do the same with the universe's energy. Successfully tuning-in to this energy will release powers that can make Man the equal of any deity.

Why am I writing this?

According to AOL News, on April 5 New Age superhero Deepak Chopra allegedly "tweeted" his followers that he "had a powerful meditation just now -- caused an earthquake in Southern California." That's right. It was not a shift in the tectonic plates that cause the 7.2 earthquake along the California-Mexico border. It was Chopra's "meditating on Shiva mantra" that caused the earth to rattle. But lest anyone believe Chopra is insensitive, he immediately apologized for the global upheaval.

Delusions of Grandeur.

My first reaction is to laugh at New Agers like Chopra, but then I remind myself that they actually believe this "Unleash Your Inner God " nonsense. No wonder the world is in the shape that it is in. I look around and see a fallen world filled with fallen creatures longing for God and Eternal Peace. New Agers see a world that longs for them and their enlightened wisdom. They see a world waiting to be perfected by spiritual elites such as themselves.

God help us.

Oh, I do have one question for Chopra. If he is powerful enough to cause an earthquake, why isn't he powerful enough to prevent one? Or has he already taken credit for that?

The World's Bogeymen

The liberal media salivates at any opportunity to attack Christians and/or Christianity. Case in point: the recent arrests of nine members of a Christian militia group called Hutaree. These were dangerous people, but to say they are anything but an oddity is disingenuous. Yet, considering the amount of media coverage the arrests have received--and the dire warnings about the growing danger of far-right (read: Christian) Americans--you would think this anti-government fringe movement was as widespread as the Bolshevik Revolution. The truth is that in our world Christians are more likely to be IN danger because of their religion than they are of being A danger because of it. Don't believe it?

These are headlines from just the past two weeks:

• India Pastor Jailed For Converting Hindus, Corpse Exhumed
• Over Dozen Christians Killed In Nigeria
• Over 1,000 Anti-Christian Attacks In Indian State, report
• Pakistan Burned Christian Dies At 38; Christians Protest
• Somalia Militants Kill Church Leader; Crackdown On "Non-Islamic Culture"
• China Christian Dissident Gao Zhisheng "Alive"

Keep these headlines in mind the next time the media downplays the threats of Islamic fundamentalism and nuclear-armed rogue governments, and instead tries to portray Christians as the world's bogeymen.
