This is why Laufer, and men like him, feel opening up access to these drugs is absolutely necessary.
I find his statement to be quite true morally. To deny someone access to lifesaving medication simply because they don't have cold hard cash is indeed...murder. In fact, it is sacrificing a human life on the altar of financial profit.
There is a glaring deception that is infecting the minds on both the left and the right. On the left, they don't believe it is "murder" to abort a child. On the right, they don't think it is "murder" to deny that same child life saving medication if they were 33 years old and uninsured. We need a "gold standard" on the value of human life. One that goes beyond the paradigms of both the left and the right. One that is... Christian. A value of human life that takes the stand of being dedicated to teaching all of society that we are indeed our brother's keeper. |
Here we go again.
Aways roll this around to the evils of denying everyone the right to any medication that they need.
How about this:
Denying anyone the right to lifesaving salvation is eternal damnation of a soul.
How more important is a soul than life here on earth.
Yet how many times do YOU walk by people and deny them the opportunity to life-saving salvation.
Get off the soapbox about life saving drugs and get to work on saving someones soul.
I was totally headed another way with my answer, but this is what came out.
