Time mag and FactCheck.org join AP to confirm Obama is lying about abortion in healthcare
Yesterday’s Time magazine…
“You’ve heard that this is all going to mean government funding of abortion,” Obama said recently in a call to religious leaders. “Not true.”….
But this last statement, while technically correct, does not tell the whole story….
The health-care-reform bill proposed by House Democrats… does find a way for the Federal Government to expand the coverage of abortion services through a government-run program – the so-called public option…
The problem is that all those who sign up for the public option would have to pay into the account for abortion coverage, an amount “not less than $1 per month,” according to the legislation. So in effect, anyone who wanted to sign up for the public option, a federally funded and administered program, would find themselves paying for abortion coverage….
The title says it all in the FactCheck.org piece, but feel free to read the entire analysis…
I previously mentioned the Associated Press piece, but here’s the title again…
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Hey, what’s the harm in a few lies, more or less? Isn’t he still “The One”?
Is that guy’s sign in the picture a Boogie Board?
The MT “town hall” visit was another class act by this administration. Want to know what really happened? Friends of my uncle’s wrote:
On Wednesday, August 5th it was announced locally that the President
would be coming here. There are many groups here that are against his
healthcare and huge spending so those groups began talking and deciding
on what they were going to do. The White House would not release ANY details other than the date. On about Tuesday Bill found out that they would be holding the “Town
Hall” at the airport. (This is only because Bill knows EVERYONE at the
airport) Our airport is actually located outside of Belgrade (tiny town)
in a very remote location. Nothing is around there. They chose to use a
hangar that is the most remotely located hangar. You could not pick a
more remote location, and you can not get to it easily. It is totally secluded from the public.
FYI: We have many areas in Belgrade and Bozeman which could have held a large amount of folks with sufficient parking(gymnasiums/auditoriums). All of which have chairs and tables, and would not have to be SHIPPED IN!!$$$$$
During the week, cargo by the TONS was being shipped in constantly.
Airport employees could not believe how it just kept coming. Though it
was our President coming several expressed how excessive it was,
especially during a recession. $$$$$
Late Tuesday/early Wednesday the 12th, they said that tickets would be handed out on Thursday 9am
at two locations and the president would be
arriving around 12:30 Friday.
Thursday morning about 600 tickets were passed out. However, 1500 were printed at a Local printing shop per White House request. Hmmmm……900 tickets just DISAPPEARED.
This same morning someone called into the radio from the local UPS branch
and said that THOUSANDS of Dollars of Lobster were shipped in for Obama.
Montana has some of the best beef in the nation!!! And it would have been
really wonderful to help out the local economy. Anyone heard of the
Recession?? Just think…with all of the traveling the White House is doing. $$$$$ One can only imagine what else we are paying for.
On Friday Bill and I got out to the airport about 10:45am. The groups
that wanted to protest Obama’s spending and healthcare had gotten a permit to protest and that area was roped off. But that was not to be. A large bus carrying SEIU (Service Employees International Union) members
drove up onto the area (illegal)and unloaded right there. It was quite a commotion and there were specifically 2 SEIU men trying to make trouble and start a fight. Police did get involved and arrested the one man but
they said they did not have the manpower to remove the SEIU crowd.
The SEIU crowd was very organized and young. About 99% were under the age
of 30 and they were not locals! They had bullhorns and PROFESSIONALLY
made signs. Some even wore preprinted T-shirts. Oh, and Planned
Parenthood folks were with them…..professing abortion rights with their
T-shirts and preprinted signs. (BTW, all these folks did have a permit to protest in ANOTHER area)
Those against ‘healthcare’ spending moved away from the SEIU crowd to avoid confrontation. They were orderly and respectful. Even though SEIU kept coming over and walking through, continuing to be very intimidating and aggressive at the direction of the one SEIU man.
So we had Montana folks from ALL OVER the state with their homemade signs
and their DOGS with homemade signs. We had cowboys, nurses, doctors you
name it. There was even a guy from Texas who had been driving through. He found out about the occasion, went to the store, made a sign, and
came to protest.
If you are wondering about the press…..Well, all of the major networks were over by that remote hangar I mentioned. They were conveniently parked on the other side of the buildings FAR away. None of these crowds were even visible to them. I have my doubts that they knew anything
about the
crowds.
We did have some local news media around us from this state and Idaho.
Speaking of the local media…they were invited. However, all questions
were to be turned into the White House in advance of the event. Wouldn’t
want anyone to have to think off the top of their head.
It was very obvious that it was meant to be totally controlled by the
White House. Everything was orchestrated down to the last detail to make
it appear that Montana is just crazy for Obama and government healthcare.
Even those people that talked about their insurance woes……..the White
House called our local HRDC (Human Resource and Development Committee)
and asked for names. Then the White House asked those folks to come.
Smoke and mirrors…EVERYTHING was staged!!!!!!!!!!!
I am very dismayed about what I learned about our current White House.
The amount of control and manipulation was unbelievable. I felt I was not
living in the United States of America, more like the USSR!! I was
physically nauseous. Bill and I have been around when Presidents or Heads
of State visit. It has NEVER been like this. I am truly very frightened
for our country. America needs your prayers and your voices. If you care
about our country please get involved. Know the issues. And let Congress
hear your voices again and again!! If they are willing to put forth so
much effort to BULLY a small town one can only imagine what is going on
in Washington DC. Scary!!
Bozeman, Montana
I think we need to start circulating that letter. That letter needs to be edited for posting to an article and we need it up on every Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, ect.
This HAS to be heard.
klynn,
Thank you for sharing. I spent some time in Montana (Helena) and can’t imagine why anyone would turn down a good MT steak!
PBHO is, as I see it, ALL smoke-and-mirrors. All pretty words and the appearance of civility.
Mind if I share this with some friends? I have a friend who lives in Belgrade and would be very interested to read this. It’s not unlikely that she was actually one of the protesters.
Linked to your post from Stop the Obamacare Abortion Mandate A new category under our articles on Obamacare – as it looks like some in congress want to go to round 15.
God bless your efforts.
Obama to the peasants-
“Let them eat steak.”
Klynn, did you change the names in that letter? Because a quick search on Google turned up another letter that looks word-for-word identical, except for the names.
Maybe I’m just paranoid, but I want to make sure that this isn’t a hoax planted by the other side, in order to make us look bad when we bring it up.

No, I only deleted her name at the end. She gave permission for people to use it however they’d like, just with her email deleted. Someone else may have opted to change names before posting elsewhere.
KLynn, I agree this needs to be circulated. do you or anyone else have a link to this letter?
