Obama,
some news media misrepresent provisions
Federal government would fund abortion under
health bills soon to be voted on in Congress
WASHINGTON
(September 3, 2009)—The Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives is
expected to vote soon—perhaps in late September—on “health care reform”
legislation (H.R. 3200) that contains far-reaching pro-abortion provisions,
including a new federal government insurance plan that would cover all
elective abortions.
Leaders of U.S.
Senate Democrats are also planning to push sweeping health-care
restructuring legislation to the floor in the near future. A Senate
committee has approved a health care bill that contains provisions that some
pro-life analysts believe could result in the greatest expansion of abortion
since Roe v. Wade.
The bills are
being pushed hard by President Obama and by top Democratic congressional
leaders, including pro-abortion House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.) and
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nv.). The Democrats hold majority
control of both the House and the Senate, occupying about three-fifths of
the seats in each house.

Today’s VA Seems
to Be Losing Its Way
By
Sgt. Wayne Cockfield
I never heard the
explosion, but I live with the memory. My last footstep took place 39 years
and nine months ago in the jungles of Vietnam, and I have lived in a
wheelchair ever since. Of all my memories of that fateful day, the most
vivid is lying alone, unable to move, completely helpless, and intently
staring at the bushes behind me.
It’s been said
that waiting to die concentrates the mind, and my mind was concentrated,
believe me, as I searched for the gun barrel and the enemy soldier that
would end my life. He never came, thank God.
I spent the last
14 months of my 27 months of hospitalization in a Veterans Hospital. The
care was first-rate, the caregivers had true compassion, and the Department
of Veteran Affairs (VA) completely carried out its mission statement to
“fulfill President Lincoln’s promise—‘To care for him who shall have borne
the battle’… ”

TELL
CONGRESS: VOTE AGAINST ANY
HEALTH CARE BILL THAT INCLUDES ABORTION COVERAGE
By Wanda Franz, Ph.D.
OBAMA
“FABRICATES” ON ABORTION
The liberal Faith for Health web site informs us: “[On] August 18, an
estimated 140,000 people of faith gathered on a historic national
conference call with President Obama and the American faith community.”
And what did the president say about health care? “There’s a lot of
misinformation in this debate, and there are some folks who are frankly
bearing false witness” (ABC News, 8/19/2009). And “you’ve heard that
this is all going to mean government funding of abortion. Not true.
These are all fabrications” (Weekly Standard, 8/19/2009) Fabrications?
Really, Mr. President? We have news for the “140,000 people of faith”
gathered electronically, so to speak, at the president’s feet: it is the
president who bore “false witness” and engaged in a “fabrication.”
