Martha Coakley: Devout Catholics 'Probably shouldn't work in the emergency room' By Kerry Picket on Jan. 14, 2010 into Water Cooler SubscribeHow can a Massachusetts Senate candidate possibly offend 39 percent of voters in her state? If it's Democrat Attorney General Martha Coakley, she would tell devout Catholics not to bother working in an emergency room (H/T Jim Hoft - Big Government). In the audio clip below, Ms. Coakley chokes on a question from radio host Ken Pittman referring to the conscience clause. Under the conscience clause, workers in health-care environments ranging from doctors to maintenance men can refuse to offer services, information, or advice to patients on issues like contraception, blood transfusions, etc..if the workers are morally against it. Here is how Ms. Coakley handled the matter. (audio and transcript below): Ken Pittman: Right, if you are a Catholic, and believe what the Pope teaches that any form of birth control is a sin. ah you don?t want to do that. Martha Coakley: No we have a separation of church and state Ken, lets be clear. Ken Pittman: In the emergency room you still have your religious freedom. Martha Coakley: (??uh, eh?um..) The law says that people are allowed to have that. You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn?t work in the emergency room.

"U.N.'s World Health Organization Eyeing Global Tax on Banking, Internet Activity
The World Health Organization (WHO) is considering a plan to ask governments to impose a global consumer tax on such things as Internet activity or everyday financial transactions like paying bills online." Because the $5 billion a year we already give the fuckheads just isn't enough. We pay about 25% of their budget a year. How is $20 billion per year for those fools not enough?

A FATHER has been charged with 185 counts of raping three of his daughters over a 17-year period.
The 48-year-old Co Galway man appeared before Athenry District Court yesterday where he was remanded in custody. The charges are in addition to 10 rape charges, which include a fourth daughter, and two counts of neglect and cruelty towards a son which were put to the man when he was arrested on Christmas Eve. His wife, who faces a total of 18 charges of cruelty and neglect of her children between May 2002 and June of last year, was also remanded in custody at yesterday?s sitting. Judge Joseph Mangan remanded the 45-year-old mother in custody at Mountjoy Women?s Prison to appear before Ennis District Court on Friday week, January 22nd. Her husband was remanded in custody to Castlerea Prison to appear before Harristown District Court this Friday, January 15th. The man has been charged with 140 counts of rape against one daughter from 1991 to 2008. He has been charged with 24 counts of rape of another daughter from 1991 to 1996. The man faces 21 charges of rape of a third daughter in a period from 1991 to 1996. The couple cannot be named for legal reasons. It was the third time the matter had been before the courts after brief hearings in Galway on Christmas Eve, and Ennis on December 29th, where they were refused bail. The couple?s solicitor Sheena McCarthy said that a High Court application for bail on Monday was adjourned. The application will be heard this coming Friday. An application for bail for the 48-year-old father was refused by Judge Mangan. It took Garda Marie Hession 10 minutes to list the file numbers of the 185 charges which the man faces. Garda Hession said that the accused only replied to the final charge when he stated: ?I didn?t do any of it.? Judge Mangan had been told at a previous sitting that all of the couple?s children are now in care. The charges against the woman allege that she assaulted, ill-treated, neglected, abandoned or otherwise treated the children in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury to their health or seriously affect their well-being.

Let Haitians in U.S. stay here legally
By Bill Nelson, Special to CNN Editor's note: Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat who is Florida's senior senator, has visited Haiti four times in recent years. (CNN) -- The catastrophic earthquake that devastated Haiti has left millions of our neighbors in dire need of food, shelter and medical care. Haitians are a resilient and proud people, but this tragedy would leave even the strongest of nations decimated. Even before the shattering 7.0 quake, Haiti ranked as the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Our neighbor literally has suffered from one natural disaster after another. Just last year, Haiti was ravaged by four hurricanes and tropical storms in a one-month period. The U.S. and international community must provide humanitarian relief and longer-term reconstruction assistance to help Haiti get back on its feet and become a stable country over the long term. While Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has announced a temporary halt to all deportations from the U.S. back to Haiti, for the time being, the action is limited. Compassion and common sense tell us that we must do more. This is why I recently urged President Obama to grant what is called temporary protected status, or TPS, to Haitians in the U.S. The Department of Homeland Security says there about 30,000 Haitians facing orders to leave our country. The latest disaster underscores the need for protective action that would allow these immigrants to remain and work here legally. The United States did so for Honduras and Nicaragua in 1999, following Hurricane Mitch; and, for El Salvador in 2001, following several earthquakes. This administration has stopped short of granting TPS status that would allow Haitians who are in the U.S. to be able to work legally while they're here. And the ability to work is significant: It allows immigrants not only to make money to support themselves but also to send remittances to their suffering families back in Haiti. Keep in mind that TPS isn't free. Each person granted it pays the government $340 for a work permit. Frankly, it makes no sense to tell Haitians already here that they can stay in the U.S. in the wake of the earthquake, but cannot legally support themselves. To address this inequity, I and several members of Congress who represent Haitian communities will continue to press the Obama administration to give temporary protected status to Haitians in the U.S. |
