Action: Defend Religious Liberty

Take action today to defend religious liberty and stop abortion pills and contraception from being covered through mandated insurance policies with no copay. We will not allow religious liberties to violated by giving free birth control and abortion pills!

Read my original blog, if you haven't already, giving more detail on the issue. It's very important we are all educated on the issue at hand: 'Religious Freedom and America Consciences'

Take Action:

  1. Sign the Petition by ACLJ to Reverse President Obama's Forced Abortion Pill Coverage for Religious Institutions
  2. Pass this on for others to read and take action
  3. Pray
For the Dignity of the Born and Unborn,

Religious Freedom and America Consciences

Challenge to every American Citizens Conscience . . . YOU need to know!

On January 20, 2012 Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), instituted a ruling requiring every insurance policy to cover the costs of contraception, abortion inducing drugs, and sterilization. If the ruling is not reversed, it will go into effect late this summer!

This will require religious institutions, with only a small exception for churches, against their moral and ethical beliefs, to provide insurance plans paying for these services. American citizens will be paying for these services through their insurance, and they will have NO choice.

Please watch the below video by Bishop Slattery of the diocese of Tulsa, OK where he explains the appalling threat to not only every Americana's conscience but to religious freedoms:


A few things I would like to emphasize from Bishop Slattery’s statement:

  • As an American you have a a fundamental right to Religious Liberty
  • This is a violation of your First Amendment Right of Religious Liberty
  • Businesses and institutions will be forced to provide this insurance
  • These services are intrinsically evil
  • The Catholic Church has always complied with the law, however, this is a law we cannot and will not comply with
  • The right to free exercise of religion ranks first in the bill of rights

Bishops and Cardinals across the United States have joined together in guiding the Catholic Church in a firm position that opposes this mandate, which violates your right to Religious liberty by requiring all institutions and people of faith to violate their consciences by requiring them to provide and pay for abortion inducing drugs, contraception, and sterilization.

It is not possible for me to stress how important it is for every person to be aware of what is happening and what is at stake here. This decision will not be reversed if you do not become informed and vehemently stand against it. We will lose the most important of liberties if you are silent. Catholic, Evangelical, and secular alike should agree that this is a blatant violation of the rights of the American people.


Take Action:

  1. Send a pre-written email to congress: http://www.nchla.org/actiondisplay.asp?ID=292
  2. Educate yourself and others on the issue by sharing this article
  3. Pray
  4. Don’t stop praying or taking action


So tell me, why are you against this HHS mandate?

Take Action Today to Stop the Birth Control Mandate

Friday September 30 is the last day to submit comments to Health and Human Services (HHS) regarding the Birth Control Mandate they set into place in August. This mandate will cover birth control, surgical sterilization, and abortifacients in all private heathcare plans.

Under this mandate taxpayers will fund Birth Control, Abortifacients (a drug or agent that causes abortion), and surgical sterilization? While you’ll be providing these free services for millions of Americana's to take advantage of at any time, women will not have to pay a dime to be sterilized, chemically abort their children, or access birth control.

Despite religious or moral beliefs you’re paying for it, and patients do not even have a co-pay for these services. (Read my article about the irony of this situation).

Here are a few things you should know which the National Committee for a Human Life Amendment (NCHLA) pointed out in their recent action alert:
  • The statement that these services “do not include abortifacient drugs” is misleading. The FDA-approved "emergency contraception" (EC) drugs covered by this mandate can work by interfering with implantation. Also, the drug the FDA most recently approved for EC, "Ella,” a close analogue to the abortion drug RU-486, has been shown in animal tests to cause abortion. Thus, the mandate includes drugs that may cause an abortion both before and after implantation. 
  • A religious exemption to the mandate is not only extremely narrow but unprecedented in federal law. Plans offered by a great many religious organizations, including Catholic colleges and universities as well as hospitals and charitable institutions that serve the general public, would be ineligible under the exemption. Individuals and health insurance companies do not qualify at all. 

Please defend the consciences of millions of Americans who do not support the tax payer funding of abortifacients, contraception, and sterilization. (Learn a little about the Catholic Church’s position on these issues) This will only take a few minutes:

  1. Sign the petition to President Obama’s Administration and Secretary Sebelius to stop the birth control mandate.
  2. Health and Human Services is accepting comments on the issue at hand. Please send an email through NCHLA’s action center in opposition to this mandate.
  3. Post the link to this article: http://www.timmerie.com/2011/09/action-alert-stop-birth-control-mandate.html on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites so that others can take action as well.

Irony of the Birth Control Mandate -- Take Action

I was sitting in urgent care earlier today and I couldn't get over the fact that the woman in front of me was 19 weeks pregnant and had to pay a $15 co-pay in order to see a doctor after she fell, couldn't walk, and was having severe back and stomach pain. While in contrast, August 1st Health and Human Services (HHS) mandated that private health plans will cover "preventative services": contraceptives, sterilization, and abortifacients with NO co-pay or out of pocket expenses for these services.


Now, I see nothing wrong with co-pays. But I find it ridiculous that a woman wouldn't have to pay a dime to be sterilized, chemically abort her child, or prevent her body from naturally beginning human life while a woman who is pregnant, and severely hurt, has to pay to even get in the door at urgent care.


Don't let your tax dollars pay for this birth control mandate. Defend the consciences of millions of Americans who do not want to pay for birth control with their tax dollars. Take three quick and easy actions:

  1. Sign the petition to President Obama’s Administration and Secretary Sebelius to stop the birth control mandate.
  2. Health and Human Services is accepting comments on the issue at hand. Please send an email through NCHLA’s action center in opposition to this mandate.
  3. Post the link to this article: http://www.timmerie.com/2011/09/action-alert-stop-birth-control-mandate.html on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites so that others can take action as well.

Action Alert: Stop the Birth Control Mandate

On August 3, 2011 the Department of Health and Human Services decided to mandate coverage of birth control, surgical sterilization, and abortifacients in all private heathcare plans.

Are you a tax payer? Do you support Birth Control, Abortifacients (a drug or agent that causes abortion), and surgical sterilization? Well you’ll be providing these services for millions of Americana's to take advantage of at any time. Despite religious or moral beliefs you’re paying for it, and patients do not even have a co-pay for these services.


 Church Teaching:

Contraception and Sterilization:
Catechism of the Catholic Church: "[E]very action which, whether in anticipation of the conjugal act, or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible is intrinsically evil" (CCC 2370).
"Legitimate intentions on the part of the spouses do not justify recourse to morally unacceptable means . . . for example, direct sterilization or contraception" (CCC 2399).

Abortifacient:
Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 2271:

Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law:
You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish.75
God, the Lord of life, has entrusted to men the noble mission of safeguarding life, and men must carry it out in a manner worthy of themselves. Life must be protected with the utmost care from the moment of conception: abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes.76

Now please take a few moments to defend the consciences of millions of Americans who do not support abortifaceints, contraception, and sterilization. It will only take a few minutes:

  1. Sign the petition to President Obama’s Administration and Secretary Sebelius to stop the birth control mandate.
  2. Health and Human Services is accepting comments on the issue at hand. Please send an email through NCHLA’s action center in opposition to this mandate.
  3. Post the link to this article: http://www.timmerie.com/2011/09/action-alert-stop-birth-control-mandate.html on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites so that others can take action as well.

Survivors Celebrate Mother’s Day by saving 3 babies

I wondered how many women walking into the abortion clinic would still be a mother to a living, breathing, and moving child inside the womb tomorrow.  Would it be a happy Mother’s Day for all?  


Three babies are still breathing and safely growing inside their mothers’ wombs because the volunteer efforts of over thirty pro-life warriors outside of an abortion clinic on the day before Mother’s Day.  A group of about 15 young Survivors joined with local sidewalk counselors, youth groups, and Knights of Columbus to celebrate Mother’s Day one day early outside a Family Planning Associates in San Bernardino, California.  
The purpose of our visit was to remind each woman that if she were pregnant, then she was already a mother, and to pray that she would have a happy Mother’s Day the next day.  We held homemade, life-affirming Mother’s Day and fetal development signs for all who drove by and entered the clinic to see.  Survivors’ trained sidewalk counselors talked to many mothers outside of the abortion clinic, encouraging them to choose life for their preborn children.  Many women were determined to enter the abortion clinic that morning, and all were met with beautiful bouquets of flowers with attached homemade Mother’s Day cards.

ALERT: Historic Vote To De-Fund Planned Parenthood


An historic vote will take place Thursday April 14, 2011.  The Senate will decide whether or not to de-fund Planned Parenthood of more than $363 million dollars in annual funding -- which is payed for with your tax dollars.  

Whether you are pro-abortion or pro-life we can all agree that our country is broke and we need to eliminate spending, so let’s not pay for birth control and abortion provided through this funding!


In a recent email sent out by Planned Parenthood they said, “Any elected official who votes for this extreme proposal is voting against access to lifesaving cancer screenings, HIV testing, and birth control.”  The truth of the matter is that there are many other organizations that we as a country could fund that perform  cancer screenings and HIV testing, but without exploiting women through human trafficking or rape.  A woman who wants to use birth control can pay for it herself -- we don’t need to pay for a woman’s birth control!


Urge your senators to not allow Congress to continue to fund the illegal activities of Planned Parenthood and to not buy into Planned Parenthood’s lies.  Women will continue to be loved and cared for even without the funding of Planned Parenthood.  Find you senators phone number here!

See some of the horrific things Planned Parenthood has done!  Stay informed and spread the word:


Illegal late term abortions
Donations Accepted to Perform Abortions on Black Babies
Gives False Medical Information--Rosa Acuna Project
Mona Lisa Project
Sex Trafficking
Protecting Pedophiles
Racist Agenda
Infanticide

Unplanned Chapter 11, 'The Boardroom'


During this chapter the true roots of the pro-abortion movement are shown, not the mask of ‘a woman’s right to choose’ or concern for ‘women’s health’ which pro-abortion advocates claim as their mission.

During meetings regarding Planned Parenthood abortion clinic at the affiliate office, Abby Johnson and other clinic directors were told it was time to get revenue up since their Title XX funding was already used up for the year.  This eliminated discounted or even free birth control for lower income women.  Abby was appalled at the thought of women having to be pregnant with babies they couldn't afford.  Abby reflected on how different things became once revenue was the primary goal, versus providing services for women.


"Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race."
Planned Parenthood Founder, Margaret Sanger, Woman, Morality, and Birth Control. New York: New York Publishing Company, 1922. Page 12.

During a meeting to discuss Abby's clinic's budget goals she was told she had to significantly increase her abortion client intake.  You might ask why?  Because abortions aren’t cheap and any abortion provider brings in high dollar revenue from abortions; the average abortion in the first trimester costs $300.  This abortion quota contradicted the rhetoric that initially lured Abby Johnson to Planned Parenthood.  The original trap that Planned Parenthood of reducing abortion numbers no longer seemed a goal amongst the organization; their demand for abortions was vital to their budget.  Abby did not like the idea of generating revenue by providing abortions as the new goal at her clinic, and insisted that abortion would not take priority over serving women.

Abby wrote in Unplanned about how Planned Parenthood was born to help women in need, especially with issues concerning issues of birth control and abortion. But this isn’t the truth.  If you take a few minutes to look back at, the founder of Planned Parenthood founder, Magaret Sanger’s personal views, you will begin to understand the true evil behind the pro-abortion movement and how rhetoric over the years has masked this horrific mission. 


I strongly recommend you read a few of these many quotes from Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger.

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
Margaret Sanger's December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts. Also described in Linda Gordon's Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America. New York: Grossman Publishers, 1976.

"Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock."
Margaret Sanger, April 1933 Birth Control Review.

As an advocate of birth control I wish ... to point out that the unbalance between the birth rate of the 'unfit' and the 'fit,' admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes. In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation....
On the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.
Margaret Sanger. "The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda." Birth Control Review, October 1921, page 5.

Watch Maafa 21 which sheds light on the founding of Planned Parenthood and their eugenics agenda.
