Pro-Life Advocates Say Matthew 25 Network Obama Site False on Abortion
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- More pro-life advocates are saying
the new Pro-Life, Pro-Obama web site from the Democratic activist
group Matthew 25 Network, is false when it comes to portraying Barack
Obama's abortion views. Ramesh Ponnuru, a writer with National Review,
had this to say: "The Matthew 25 Networka group of left-wing
Christianshas a new site up. They take the standard tack of
pro-life Obama supporters. They completely ignore his opposition to
parental consent, his support for taxpayer funding of abortion, and
the like. What they do include is misleading. They quote Obama's Relevant
interview, for example, in which he claimed that late-term abortions
should be allowed only for serious medical reasonsa remark that
made many people, including me, hope that Obama was moderating on
the issue and might be willing to tighten existing law. They don't
mention that in subsequent 'clarifying' remarks, Obama took back the
concession."
Video Available for Pro-Life Groups on Barack
Obama's Extreme Abortion Views
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A pro-life group has made a video
available for pro-life organizations to use at no cost that highlights
the extreme pro-abortion views of Barack Obama. The Committee for
Truth in Politics is behind the video and it has no disclaimer and
is not copyrighted. "Thus, anyone can use it by linking to it
or by downloading it. It is a grassroots lobbying ad which contains
no express advocacy. It can be used in various ways by any 501(c)(4)
group," pro-life attorney James Bopp explains. "You can
use it in any other way, as long as you do not put it on television.
It can be posted on your web site and linked in e-mails and other
communications to your supporters." Bopp says a federal PAC could
put this ad on television, with it disclaimer as required by federal
election law. "If your organization is qualifies as an MCFL-type
corporation, you could also put it on television, with the appropriate
disclaimer and by filing appropriate reports with the FEC." The
ad is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrtOBespwYg
Louisiana
Legislators Sterilization Proposal Opposed by Pro-Life Advocate
Baton Rouge, LA (LifeNews.com) -- Pro-life advocate Dr. Alveda
King is reacting to the recent proposal of Louisiana state Rep. John
LaBruzzo to offer taxpayer money to poor women and men to be sterilized
and to offer tax incentives to higher income people to have more children.
The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, used to
say, More children from the fit, less from the unfit,
King tells LifeNews.com. A eugenicist to the core, she would
have loved this idea of the government bribing poor people into sterilization.
Aside from its being reprehensible, though, we have already seen that
this type of plan doesn't eliminate poverty. For 35 years,
we have offered the poor, especially inner city African Americans,
abortion as a solution to their poverty, added Dr. King. Can
anyone seriously claim that aborting one-third of the current African
American population has left blacks better off? You can't improve
the present by killing the future. Sterilizing the poor is fighting
economic poverty with moral bankruptcy.
