Martha Coakley Reveals Her Extremism (Again)
This interview with WBSM’s Ken Pittman illustrates how extreme Martha Coakley is. Coakley is running against Republican Scott Brown for the Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat vacated by the late Ted Kennedy.
He asked her if she would pass a health care bill that provided conscientious objection provisions for abortion procedures.
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 seperation of church and state Ken, lets be clear.
Ken Pittman: In the emergency room you still have your religious freedom.
Martha Coakley:Uh, em, uh…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.
We hear yet another perverted, asinine “interpretation” of the First Amendment and the so-called “separation of church and state” (a phrase which does not appear in the Constitution or any of our founding documents). Apparently the right to kill your child stands high, high above religious liberty and the right of conscience.
It’s disgusting how these extremists manage to interpret “separation of church and state” to mean something akin to “separation of morality and state”–as if moral values and doing the right thing were somehow irrelevant to public policy.
To trample the conscience of people working in emergency services, government or pretty much any where is an engraved invitation to corruption, evil, tyranny and disaster. How can these people possibly allow the fact to escape them that we do not want amoral people serving in our government or our health care industry?
Consider how important the founders of our nation considered morality and following the conscience:
Conscience is the most sacred of all property. – James Madison
Consciences of men are not the objects of human legislation. – New Jersey Governor William Livingston, signer of the U.S. Constitution
Security under our constitution is given to the rights of conscience. – John Jay, First Chief of U.S. Supreme Court, author of the Federalist Papers
No provision in our Constitution ought to be dearer to man than that which protects the rights of conscience. – Thomas Jefferson
Our rulers can have no authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them. The rights of conscience we never submitted. – Thomas Jefferson
It is inconsistent with the spirit of our laws and Constitution to force tender consciences. – Thomas Jefferson
Then consider whether Martha Coakley deserves to be elected to anything higher than assistant dog catcher.
