I want to go on record as opposing Obamacare. There are many, many reasons that I could use to argue against this wrong-headed boondoggle of a program. Instead, I have chosen to oppose Obamacare on moral grounds.

     I could have chosen to oppose Obamacare because millions of American employees could find their present employer provided private insurance cancelled. However this is not the argument that I have chosen.

     I could have chosen to oppose Obamacare because many Senior Citizens may find their Medicare adversely affected. However this is not the argument that I have chosen.

     I could have chosen to oppose Obamacare because millions of Union workers might find their present insurance threatened as "excessive" by federal bureaucrats. However this is not the argument that I have chosen.

     I could have chosen to oppose Obamacare because millions of Americans could face a $3,630.00 fine if they do not show proof of having health insurance. However this is not the argument that I have chosen.

     I could have chosen to oppose Obamacare because millions of illegal aliens will be added to the tax-funded insurance rolls. However this is not the argument that I have chosen.

     I could have chosen to oppose Obamacare because the so called public option would unfairly force private insurers out of business. However this is not the argument that I have chosen.

     I could have chosen to oppose Obamacare because this is the largest federal power grab in the history of America and would give government unconstitutional intrusion into every one of our private lives. However this is not the argument that I have chosen.

     I could have chosen to oppose Obamacare because the cost of such a program would threaten to bankrupt an already weak economy. However this is not the argument that I have chosen.

     I could have chosen to oppose Obamacare because President Obama and congressional leaders keep trying to force a vote without allowing the public, let alone members of Congress, to have time to study the contents of the bill. However this is not the argument that I have chosen.

     As an American, I could have chosen to oppose Obamacare on any one of these or other arguments. Instead, as a minister, I have chosen to oppose Obamacare on moral grounds. After all, as a minister, morality falls more in line with my specific calling.

     No, my overriding opposition to Obamacare is because it will fund immorality with tax dollars backed by bureaucratic enforcement. Consider:

     If passed, Obamacare would, in effect, nullify every state law that protects the right of the unborn. Obamacare will do this by superceding any and every state and local law that prohibits tax-funded abortion. Without controversy, Obamacare will open the door to nationwide tax-funded abortions across the board, irrespective of existing state laws.

     Proof? Just a few days ago, (Sept. 30th) the Senate Finance Committee by a vote of 13-10 voted down an amendment by Republican Orrin Hatch to make certain that federal funds in the health care bill would not pay for abortions. The vote was almost entirely along Party lines with only one Republican Senator, Olympia Snowe, voting with the Democrats on the committee. This vote drives home the point that President Obama's allies in the Senate are intent on funding abortion with our tax dollars. Why else would they have defeated this amendment?!

     By the same token, if passed, Obamacare will also fund health care for homosexual couples irregardless of state and local laws.

     Again, and on the same grounds, pre-death counseling will become the tax-funded norm, thus justifying doctor-assisted, or should I rather say, doctor-mandated suicides for those patients who choose to die, or who do not meet government requirements to continue receiving life saving treatments. Sarah Palin may have been the only one with enough grit to bring this to light, but then again we seem to have a real shortage today of politicians with grit.

     These moral arguments are not scare tactics, as President Obama would have us to believe. Can we really trust our health care, to a president who believes in tax-funded, late-term abortions? Do we really want President Obama and his liberal allies in Congress to "change" the entire medical structure of America? Heaven help us if we do!

     While all of these legitimate concerns may not materialize in a revamped American health care program at first, we must remember that it was Barack Obama himself who said of health care: "We may not get everything we want on the first go round, but we will get there!" In other words, first let's get our foot in the door and then we can get more later. As always, socialists are content to take two steps forward and one step back to end up one step forward. Thus we find our liberties chiseled away, one step, one stroke at a time. Most generally, it is morality that suffers as the first casualty.

     In my opinion, good people everywhere should do everything in their power to defeat Obamacare. Even if there were no other reasons, we should defeat Obamacare on moral grounds alone!
