Covid-19 Deaths in the USA

American Rescue Plan

Last Evening, February 22, 2021 our President delivered an emotional and appropriate tribute to Remember the 500,000 deaths in the U.S.A. during the last year caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic.  As a President who also promotes himself as a member of the Roman Catholic Faith this tribute was not only fitting, but also very proper.  Additionally he focused on the Family Members who survived.  Again very appropriate and very proper.

Out President also promoted the "American Rescue Plan" as the essential program to bring America back to Normal so that we can look ahead with anticipation to a time when there is no more Covid-19 Pandemic and also eliminating the variants we have heard so much about in recent weeks.  The projected price tag on his American Rescue Plan is reported to be 1.9 Trillion Dollars.  

When I checked the potential organizations that would receive this "emergency funding" to rid our Nation of the Covid-19 Pandemic I learned that $50,000,000.00 was earmarked for "Family Planning."  My first question to myself was is this phrase "Family Planning" a code word/phrase for "Planned Parenthood?"  Of course there many more projects in the American Rescue Plan that are not even indirectly related to elimination of the Covid-19 Pandemic such as a rail scheme for Silicone Valley or a bridge project in upstate New York.  There are many more but I highlight these two to point out the folly our Duly Elected Leaders are putting into the American Rescue Plan to enhance their re-election chances.  Enough about these "follies!"

Of course the loss of 500,000 lives is a tragic situation that should cause concern for each of us living in the USA.  Our President deserves a "Well Done!" for this event.

Now for a concern that has troubled myself and I am also confident that many fellow citizens are also concerned.  Did you know that according to the Guttmacher Institute  there were 862,320 abortions performed in our Great Nation in 2017?

Yet, while the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic is the focus of the News Media each and every day we seldom hear of the number of abortions performed in our Nation each day.  Some of these abortions are surgical and others are induced with a pill.  The end result is the same.  The tragic death of a future Citizen of the U.S.A.

Some how our President and even some duly elected lawmakers who profess to be of the Roman Catholic Faith choose to ignore our God's Fifth Commandment which is "Thou Shall Not Kill!"

While I am not a member of the Roman Catholic Faith, I do believe that Our God is awesome God and I am a Follower of Jesus Christ who I know is My Savior.  I consider myself a "Child of God" who also is a Sinner on a Daily Basis.  

So I present this Blog Post today for You to consider!  We are saddened by the tragic loss of lives due to Covid-19 and as a Society we overlook the Tragic Loss of Lives by the thousands each year because "abortion" is a right" in our U.S.A.  

I submit that it is time for us to focus on our Nation's Problems/Concerns which include the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic but actions which promote the Health and Safety of us all, including the unborn need to be investigated and God Fearing Laws and Regulations enacted, enforced and appreciated for the long term benefit of our Great Nation!  Thank You!!

You may be wondering why the picture at the start of this Blog.  When I was a child I was afraid of the ground and the only way I could be placed outside was to be in a basket.  I do not recall, however I recall being told in later years  that one day the basket became overbalanced because of my own actions and I quickly learned that the ground would not harm me.

Maybe we now need to learn that we are in this together and we need to be correctly concerned about all of our Society, including the unborn!!

Time to get out of the basket and get on with life for each of us!!
