New Ad Says Obamacare Will Finance Abortion, Deny Surgery for Seniors

July 29, 2009 RSS Feed Print

"They won't pay for my surgery, but we're forced to pay for abortions," gripes a senior in this provocative new ad from Family Research Council Action. It will air in five states: Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Alaska, Louisiana, and Nebraska. "The ad urges opposition to a healthcare plan that will deny care to 'our greatest generation' and deny life to 'our future generation,' " FRC Action says in a news release.

It strikes me that the Family Research Council's anti-Obamacare blitz is aimed not only at derailing the Democrats but also at showing the GOP how helpful the group could be as the party wonders how much it should be relying on religious conservatives.

I find it disturbing that our government would require us to fund the murders of children. This is not only reprehensable and immoral but anti- American. What are they doing with our Freedom of choice. Apparently takeing it away. Truely a vote for Obama was a vote against America.
