Liar, Liar!

Barrie Hussein Obama's statement that abortions will not be paid for 
with federal money is a bold-faced mendacity, says PFLI's Executive 
Director, Bogomir Kuhar, PharmD, FASCP

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- President Barack Obama made 
the statement during last evening's address on Health Care Reform that 
before a joint session of Congress that was meant to deceive the 
American people on the matter of tax-payer funding of abortions.

Obama stated, "One more misunderstanding I want to clear up - under our 
plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal 
conscience laws will remain in place."

"Every fact-checking organization tells us that this is just not true. 
The reality is that federal funds will indeed go to pay for abortions 
and to subsidize private insurers that pay for abortions. There are 
absolutely no safeguards to prevent this funding of abortion," said 
Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "We also know that when taxpayer 
money is used to finance abortions, the number of abortions rise. That 
means we all become complicit in the shedding of innocent blood.

"It is shameful and disturbing that Obama would stand before Congress 
and all of the nation, look into the camera, and lie about a matter that 
is of great concern to the vast majority of the American people who 
oppose using their hard-earned money to bail out a failing abortion 
industry. Obama has denigrated the office of the Presidency and played 
the American people for fools.

"We call on the American people to contact their Congressional 
Representatives and their Senators today and let them know that they 
will not allow such a deception to pass."

Newman will be in Washington, D.C. this weekend to attend a 27-hour 
prayer vigil

An FDA panel on Wednesday recommended that the agency approve

cervical cancer, as well as expand approval of Merck's HPV vaccine, 
Gardasil, to include use in men ages nine to 26 for the prevention of 
genital warts. Though FDA is not obligated to follow the panel's 
guidance, it typically does.

*[Unphased by lies] Palin Takes another Swing at Obamacare*
By John Jalsevac

September 9, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com <http://www.lifesitenews.com/>) - In 
an opinion piece 
<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203440104574400581157986024.html>published 
in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) today, former Alaska governor and VP 
candidate Sarah Palin again criticizes Obama's healthcare overhaul plan.

While acknowledging that heavy criticism was leveled against her now 
famous use of the term "death panels" to describe the end-of-life 
counseling originally proposed in the healthcare bill, Palin today 
continued to defend the phrase as appropriate.

"Is it any wonder that many of the sick and elderly are concerned that 
the Democrats' proposals will ultimately lead to rationing of their 
health care by - dare I say it - death panels?" says Palin in today's 
column, after quoting President Obama discussing the need to keep 
healthcare costs down by providing end-of-life counseling.

"Establishment voices dismissed that phrase, but it rang true for many 
Americans," she writes.

"Working through 'normal political channels,' they made themselves 
heard, and as a result Congress will likely reject a wrong-headed 
proposal to authorize end-of-life counseling in this cost-cutting context."

"But the fact remains," she continues, "that the Democrats' proposals 
would still empower unelected bureaucrats to make decisions affecting 
life or death health-care matters. Such government overreaching is what 
we've come to expect from this administration."

Palin originally created a firestorm of controversy over the end-of-life 
counseling provisions in the bill in early August, when, in a post on 
her wildly popular facebook page, she called 
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/aug/09081109.html> the counseling 
committees "downright evil" and "death panels."

While many liberal commentators blasted Palin's rhetoric as hyperbolic, 
many conservatives and even some within the liberal establishment 
acknowledged that she had succinctly summed up the serious concerns of 
many Americans - that government was intruding into the highly personal 
issue of healthcare.

Pro-abortion columnist Camille Paglia wrote at the time: "When I first 
saw that phrase ("death panels"), headlined on the Drudge Report, I 
burst out laughing. It seemed so over the top!

"But on reflection, I realized that Palin's shrewdly timed metaphor 
spoke directly to the electorate's unease with the prospect of shadowy, 
unelected government figures controlling our lives. A death panel not 
only has the power of life and death but is itself a symptom of a 
Kafkaesque brave new world where authority has become remote, arbitrary 
and spectral. And as in the Spanish Inquisition, dissidence is heresy, 
persecuted and punished."

In today's WSJ column Palin also criticizes the notion, proposed by 
President Obama in a recent New York Times opinion piece, that Obamacare 
would somehow reduce healthcare costs.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, writes Palin, "estimates 
that the current House proposal not only won't reduce the deficit but 
will actually increase it by $239 billion over 10 years. Only in 
Washington could a plan that adds hundreds of billions to the deficit be 
hailed as a cost-cutting measure."

At the end of the day, explains Palin, her criticisms of Obamacare can 
be boiled down to the "commonsense" principle that more government isn't 
the answer to every problem.

"The answers offered by Democrats in Washington all rest on one 
principle: that increased government involvement can solve the problem. 
I fundamentally disagree," she says.

"Common sense tells us that the government's attempts to solve large 
problems more often create new ones. Common sense also tells us that a 
top-down, one-size-fits-all plan will not improve the workings of a 
nationwide health-care system that accounts for one-sixth of our 
economy. And common sense tells us to be skeptical when President Obama 
promises that the Democrats' proposals 'will provide more stability and 
security to every American.'"
