Right Wing Leftovers - 4/20/12
- Janet Porter declares [PDF] that her May 19 rally in support of Ohio's "Heartbeat Bill" is "The Most Important Pro-Life Rally Since 1973."
- CBN News declares that it "has obtained a document showing that the very foundation of the group known as Media Matters for America is built on anti-Christian bias."
- A who's who of Religious Right leaders have written to Congress "urging hearings on the harm of pornography and the need to enforce obscenity laws."
- FRC says the Obama administration"has imposed homosexual practice upon our military and has mandated that religious schools provide contraception, sterilization and abortifacient drugs to all students and staff - at taxpayer expense!" And they are praying for God to intervene: "God, the moral breakdown in America is too far gone for men to turn the tide. We need you to do what only you can do, to heal our land. Nevertheless, show us what you want us to do!"
- Finally, James Dobson declares that he will never abide by any regulation that funds abortion in any way: "This assault on the sanctity of human life takes me where I cannot go. I WILL NOT pay the surcharge for abortion services. The amount of the surcharge is irrelevant. To pay one cent for the killing of babies is egregious to me, and I will do all I can to correct a government that lies to me about its intentions and then tries to coerce my acquiescence with extortion. It would be a violation of my most deeply held convictions to disobey what I consider to be the principles in Scripture. The Creator will not hold us guiltless if we turn a deaf ear to the cries of His innocent babies. So come and get me if you must, Mr. President. I will not bow before your wicked regulation."
