Schlafly: Health care vote exposes the myth of the "pro-life Democrat"

Schlafly: Health care vote exposes the myth of the "pro-life Democrat" More Info Schlafly:  Health care vote exposes the myth of the "pro-life Democrat" FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 21, 2010 CONTACT: Suzanne Bibby, suzanne@eagleforum.org Washington, D.C. - Phyllis Schlafly, president and founder of the conservative grassroots public policy organization Eagle Forum, made the following remarks after the public announcement that formerly pro-life Democrat Bart Stupak (D-MI) will cast a "yes" vote for the Senate health care bill today in the House. UPDATE: Just before 11pm Eastern, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590) by a vote of 219 to 212 (Roll Call 165). "It is naïve for any elected official, especially one who describes himself as ‘pro-life,' to expect that a promise to issue an Executive Order that reasserts the intentions of the Hyde Amendment will be fulfilled by the most pro-abortion president to ever sit in the White House. Perhaps Mr. Stupak and his fellow pro-life Democrats forget that President Obama's first Executive Order was the repeal of the Mexico City Policy to allow for international funding of abortion." "Not only would an Executive Order be rendered meaningless in the face of Congress passing legislation which actively provides for the massive expansion and funding of abortion services, but anyone who doubts the abortion tsunami which awaits this bill becoming law lives in a fantasy world." "Barack Obama has lined every existing federal agency with the most dedicated pro-abortion ideologues, and we know that he will continue this pattern of pro-abortion appointments when it comes time for him to fill the over-100 bureaucracies created to administer his socialized health care program." "Any formerly pro-life Democrat who voted ‘Yes' on the Senate health care bill tonight will be forever remembered as being among the deciding votes which facilitated the largest expansion of abortion services since Roe v. Wade." "Mr. Stupak and his Democrat followers have now clarified that you cannot be pro-life and be a Democrat. If abortion was truly their biggest issue, they wouldn't willfully align themselves with the Party of Death." "This vote has exposed the myth of the ‘pro-life Democrat.' With this single vote, the Democratic Party has divided our nation into the Democrat Party of Death and the Republican Party of Life, and future elections will never be the same." ““Are (angels) not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” Hebrews 1:14 One of the ten commandments says "thou shall not kill". We put people in jail everyday for murder. Some we put to death. We put signs in the yards, we have massive rallies, we call Presidents  names. Yet what do we do to the doctors and congressmen that do this. Do you wonder why God is mad at the USA. It was his country until 1973. The government pays for some of these. Some states have medicaid laws that help pay for these. Even under George Bush we paid money to Planned Parenthood. New York state paid for 40,000 abortions last year with medicaid money. We have a president now that is an avowed abortionists. We are about to put in place a massive health care bill that will surely hide these payments away until after the final votes. It will take us to a place that we cannot imagine in our wildest dreams. Stand up America! Make your voice heard! No matter what party you are, what religion you are, what sex you are, it is time to stand up and put a stop to unregulated murder of babies in this country.Amen! Amen!

We must read, sign and take up the cross.What will you give up to stand behind these men, this declaration and rid the demons that have taken over our government....I will give my life for these principles, just as millions of "American Christians" have before me. Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family. We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are: 1. the sanctity of human life 2. the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife 3. the rights of conscience and religious liberty. Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
