In a recent press release, Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, said the following,
Why can't we have health care that provides healthy bodies for our families without the death and destruction offered by harmful contraceptives and abortions? I'm a mother and a grandmother. My girls do not need free contraceptives and abortions. My sons and grandsons don't need free condoms and easy access to abortions for the females in their relationships. They all need good education, healthy meals, decent homes and healthy morals and values.
The breakdown of morality in this country has emboldened liberal politicians to push contraceptive and abortion funding to the point where they will not negotiate on either point. The Department of Health and Human Services is charged with protecting the safety and well being of our citizens, but this is done selectively. To mandate that all health plans provide free contraceptives and abortion pills is to omit the safety of boys and girls at their most vulnerable age, and to encourage men to ignore their responsibilities in creating life and women in carrying life.
In a 1967 Christmas sermon, Martin Luther King said "The next thing we must be concerned about if we are to have peace on earth and good will toward men is the nonviolent affirmation of the sacredness of all human life. ...Man is a child of God, made in His image, and therefore must be respected as such."
In the eyes of the architects of the HHS mandate, human life is not sacred, is not made in the image of God, and does not deserve respect.
