Being conditioned to accept infanticide and euthanasia??

The in box is full on the topic of infanticide....as it seems that Media Matters  is using quotes from Dr. Peter Singer in their defense of Donald Berwick who is nominated by POTUS to be the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Attention is now on this due to  a piece written   by Ben Domenech  of Big Government 
".....given his particularly radical agenda when it comes to health policy — an agenda that includes support for massive government rationing and his support of using health care bureaucracy to redistribute wealth."
In defending such outspoken comments, they use Singer quotes to defend him! Amazing! Singer is most known in the pro life world as a believer in infanticide and non voluntary euthanasia and is most unapologetic about it. Here is one of the quotes from a 1996 book.

"Human babies are not born self-aware, or capable of grasping that they exist over time. They are not persons. Hence their lives would seem to be no more worthy of protection than the life of a fetus."

Even pro choice advocates should shudder....he sees infanticide as an acceptable method of dealing with a child with disabilities.   To Singer there is nothing even sacred about birth!  Anytime you start hearing the words...scarce medical resources...you are being conditioned to accept infanticide and euthanasia and even involuntary euthanasia. So not to go off on Singer, who amazingly enough , is considered pretty mainstream,  this defense of Berwick includes quotes from such an individual. This should be a red flag but in an administration headed by a man who supported  infanticide as a state senator in coldly defending the  leaving babies who survive abortions to die, what should we expect?  And they laughed when Sarah Palin called them death panels. She may turn out to be a prophet.
Read Domenech full article here on this issue. If you are not alarmed, then the conditioning may be working on you to be ready for rationing.
