Yesterday I noted that the right-wing supergroup The Freedom Federation had taken its first public position on a policy issue by announcing its “opposition to health care policies that either fund abortion or ration care based on treating life as a mere cost-benefit commodity” and justified its position by citing standard right-wing lies about rationing care and killing grandmothers.
Tomorrow, the group is holding a press conference, presumably so that they can spread these sorts of lies even further:
The Freedom Federation, a cross-section of multi-ethnic and transgenerational Evangelical groups, will hold a press conference to address the impact of health care reform on issues of human life and liberty.
The press conference will be held Wednesday, August 26, at 10:00 a.m. at the National Press Club.
Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women for America, stated:
“Doctors have earned patients’ trust because they’ve taken an oath to ‘do no harm.’ Politicians have lost Americans’ trust because their health care legislation would harm unborn babies, the elderly, and disabled. What this debate comes down to is that people do not trust the government with their health care decisions.”
