Family Research Council Healthcare Ad Focuses on Fiscal Responsibility
By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country
While antiabortion groups continue attacking Democratic healthcare proposals over their abortion provisions, the big kahuna of conservative Christian groups is developing anti-healthcare-reform ads that are silent on abortion. Instead, a series of ads produced by the Family Research Council focuses entirely on the fiscal responsibility argument against a pricey federal healthcare overhaul.
Here's the latest, sent to FRC supporters last night in an attempt to raise the money to get the messages on the air:

Clever
The FRC has left the dirty work of bashing women's reproductive health care to the Catholic bishops' conference. Clever. The wrangling over abortion is distracting people - or at least the press - from the real problem, which is the profit driven insurance industry. Are the bishops the unfitting dupes of the insurance moguls? Meanwhile, the FRC keeps the Republicans happy by bashing much-needed improvements in health care coverage. Is there anyting "religious" - or moral - about either the bishops' or the FRC's manuevers?
Tax exempt Family Research Council?
If FRC is tax exempt, it's been making taxes higher for business people like myself (landlord) and homeowners. Religious tax exemption takes parcel numbers of church-owned real estate off the lists used by assessors. This ad cost a lot. It's very much like the nasty photos and drawings of "babies being torn apart by abortion doctors." They show a mass of stuff as large as a suckling pig "being murdered," when a real embryo at early stage is smaller than a lima bean. The only "Family" here is the batch of tithe-dependent preachers who fear losing even one penny from a tithe-pledge envelope.
$500,000 is cost to taxpayers of one unwed teen mom
Latest figures on cost of welfare for one unwed mom is $500,000 for welfare, food stamps, ADC, healthcare, & subsidized housing. This ad is a wonderful exposure of the cheating, tricky, deceitful way Ban-Abortionists behave. They intend to protect church income. Women are the sole source of generations of believers who will tithe. When tithers die or lose faith, churches lose their tithe. If a person pays 40 years on an annual income of $40,000 at ten per cent, that's $160,000. In 1973, the Supreme Court finally made the civil government stop enforcing church laws that ban abortion. Since then, groups like this work to repeal Roe v Wade. But people are not going back to the bad old days. We need tax-paid free contraception, voluntary sterilization & abortion. We need free classes for 12 year old boys & girls explaining reproduction, SO THEY CAN PROTECT EACH OTHER FROM PRECOCIOUS, PREMATURE PARENTHOOD. Many corporations demand cheap labor that comes from kids who drop out, can't hold high-pay jobs & rear cheap labor families.
