Bearing False Witness on Health Care Reform?

FRC President Tony Perkins challenges President Obama's assertion that those who claim abortion is covered by the proposed health care overhaul are "bearing false witness."

President Obama has accused FRC and others who are opposing the government takeover of health care of breaking the 9th commandment. Listen to this:

Really Mr. President we are bearing false witness?

Mr. President this is what you said in a speech to Planned Parenthood in July of 2007:

[Clip of President Obama]

And your administration has made it clear that reproductive health care includes abortion:

[Clip of Sec. Clinton]

Mr. President since you have taken to quoting scripture. Allow me to quote the words of Jesus, those Red Letters in the New Testament, where He says let your yes be yes and your no be no.

Mr. President if what you say is true, which the present House bill would suggest is not the case when it comes to government funded abortion, why not let your no be no and accept one of the dozen amendments that have been offered that make it clear that abortion will not be a part of the government healthcare plan?

Until you let your yes be yes and your no be no, Mr. President we can not have a true debate about the core ethical and moral obligation of insuring all Americans have access to affordable healthcare a discuss we look forward to having.

Since you seem to know abortion is not in the bill, why don't you post the exact text from the bill where this Amendment clearly states ABORTION will be EXCLUDED. Please included page and section so people can read the EXACT words! Not your interpretation.

And why you are at it why don't you stop misleading people by slandering conservatives?

wow, this guy out and out is lying about what is in the bill. Why did he have to splice together two clips one form obama and one from hillary to make his point? WHy couldn't he just point to the language in the bill that provides abortions? Cuz its not in there and this guy is a charlatan just like ted haggard.

@stealhgerm007 If unions had their way, we'd be in the same shape as Greece! It doesn't matter how much unions acquire, they always want MORE. If you gave them everything they wanted today,they would have new demands tomorrow. If they go unchecked, before it's over,they'll have non-union workers simply sending checks straight to union non-workers,all in the name of "fairness"! If they could take care of union workers w/o penalizing non-union workers, I'd have no problem with them, but we all pay

[NFriction]

@stealhgerm007 Unions are simply power hungry, greedy masters of hypocrisy. If they were REALLY so concerned that nobody be treated "unfairly" in the work force, they wouldn't do back room deals in DC to work out special treatment and exemptions for their members that the rest of American workers don't enjoy. Sound "fair" to you? They don't seem to care that the non-union workers will have to help pay for the special deals for their members. Sound "fair" to you? How about influencing elections?

@stealhgerm007 Unions do put on a good show & some people fall for it, & yes, they do SOME things solely for the good of the workers,but they do SO MUCH MORE than is nothing more than a power grab & enriching themselves,under the flag of looking out for every worker. There is alot of corruption in unions, whether anyone is willing to admit it or not. And when ALL Americans are forced to help pay for union garbage with our tax dollars, it's NOT "one rock against an army of marines",greed is greed

[stealhgerm007]

@NFriction i too see faults in unions but they are not the evil force u make them out to be.corporations have far far more money available to them then unions.with the corporations now seen as real people .its not david and goliath its one rock against an army of marines.who will pick up the rock? 7 day work week .work safety ,8 hour days,overtime .if not for unions it be a dollar a day.....just like china.oh oh yea jobs are sent there .co's bottom line=profit

union's =u and i

[NFriction]

@stealhgerm007 Do you not think that absorbing as much cash as possible is the unions' "priority one"? You have to be clever enough to see that. If the unions were so true to their cause, why did they throw a fit about a group of contractors not making a high enough wage, & instead of having those workers strike & not work for that "unacceptable" wage, they hire homeless people to picket & kept the contractors working for "underpay"? And how much did they pay the picketers?.........MINIMUM WAGE!

[NFriction]

@stealhgerm007 You're absolutely right! There are no unions in China, and let's see, who's about to become the next top world superpower? Who's not going broke becuase they don't go overboard with their entitlement programs, union expenses, pensions, etc? Who do we owe most of our debt to? Oh yeah, that's right, union-free China! And, we all know how well those multi-million dollar union golf courses the unions spent dues on benefit the common worker! They promote THEMSELVES above you and me!

[stealhgerm007]

@NFriction i do not believe bussines is all evel.the purpose is to make a profit priority one.a corporation does not open the books to see how they spend it.govt is much more open and accountable.unions though not perfect did bring on child labor laws ,promote worker safety .8 hour days,paid overtime, one can get involved in the union .corporations do not invite participation.your input means squat to corps,there are no unions in somalia.or even china.remember enron ,aig ,the banks .no unions
