Swine Flu Emergency Is a Cover-Up: Pro-Life Groups
Posted 3 hours, 33 minutes ago

(Newser) – Is the swine flu emergency just an Obama administration plot? Anti-abortion groups think so, noting that confirmation hearings begin today for would-be Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. “Some people think that declaring a state of emergency about the flu was a political thing to push the Sebelius nomination through,” the president of one group told the Washington Independent, saying she’d heard the rumor on “talk radio.”

The idea spread quickly. The Family Research Council today sent out an email to supporters warning that “Liberals are already scheming how they can use the health scare to win the confirmation of pro-abortion extremist Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.” Anti-abortion groups had managed to prod Republicans into opposing Sebelius, but her confirmation now looks assured.

Yep, you know how those liberals are.

Thanx for the interesting read. Definitely something worth looking into further.

I do wonder if it is an emergency.

Approximately 200,000 people get the flu every year with 35,000 of them resulting in death.

The swine flu isn't even close to that.

I don't see the connection of how this would achieve that listed goal . . .

sounds like more partisan rhetoric.

I heard it started when the Mexican Army released a biological agent in its fight on the drug cartels...

Did Hussein do it?

BHO????

Saddam Hussein

Duz anybody else here think itz one of the biblical plagues?

One can wonder if it is an emergency but if it turns out to be and this administration did nothing, you can bet the same people calling this a 'political thing', would be trashing him for that too.

Coming from the The Family Research Council .. never mind, not worth the trouble.

Im the liberal that released the virus

I don't think even the Family research counsil would be that stupid to declare it so..

it's just a load of old pig swill

The hospital where I work had a huge meeting on the swine flu "outbreak" today. I went for my office as we work with the older population and they are at high risk.

The CDC is where most of the information comes from and you can check thier website.

Our hospaital is taking many precautions already. One is surveylance of the emergency department watching for people with symtoms to put them into quarantine if need be.

They have also ordered masks of several types needed, and 2 kinds of special swabs needed to test for this...

each office has to implement a plan as for who is doing the swabbing and who is doing the reportin to CDC.

I trust this little Maine town hospital would not be going through this expense if the CDC wasnt credible

I heard it started when the Mexican Army released a biological agent in its fight on the drug cartels...

One of the most idiotic people in D.C ,Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann said it wuz the Democrats that caused it

Well, a bunch of the people in the religion threads have been saying itz the end of the world.

Janet down at DHS gave it to them...
