Example of a group that will never be satisfied

Abortion foes aren't buying Obama's assurances
They continue to campaign against healthcare reform, contending that federal money will go toward abortions if the president has his way.

President Obama, a supporter of reproductive rights, forcefully reiterated in his speech to Congress this week that his healthcare plan would not lead to government funding of abortion.

The trouble is, abortion foes don't believe him. They are working hard to persuade Americans that Obama is wrong -- and have even created ads that evoke "Harry and Louise," the fictional couple that helped tank the Clinton-era attempt at healthcare reform:

"They won't pay for my surgery," says an elderly man sitting at a kitchen table. "What are we going to do?"

"But honey, you can't live this way," says his wife, patting his arm.

"And to think that Planned Parenthood is included in the government-run health plan, and spending tax dollars on abortions," he replies. "They won't pay for my surgery, but we're forced to pay for abortions."

The ad, created by the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian group, ran for two weeks in August in five states (California not among them). The ad has been criticized by people on both sides of the healthcare debate as a simplistic and inflammatory depiction of the reform measures Congress is considering.

But the criticism may be beside the point.

What the ad does is neatly summarize what foes of abortion contend: No matter what the president has said, if he gets the bill he wants, taxpayer dollars will end up paying for abortions.

abortions are illegal and those who have performed them are executed. Actually, they probably won't be happy until everyone who thinks differently or looks different than they do is executed.

Was gonna say they ain't satisfied because they have not me yet :rofl:

and they always continue to push their delusional world on everyone else, sometimes at gunpoint.

Something about freedom pisses off fundies, of any stripe.

To the anti-Choice crowd, any controversy is an invitation to stick their big noses in. Doesn't matter what the issue is, the "holier than thous" find a way to inject their "morality" and try to circumvent the discussion. I expected this with healthcare...the party of Schaivo was sure to find their pet issues in this large matter and use it to score points within their own. The fear and lies mean big money to the dozens of wingnut groups using this "debate" to feather their nests...both politically and financially.

It's long been said that abortion is the "Lucy's Football" of the rushpublicans. The "pro-life" angle is played for cash and votes and then when they're in power, they do nothing. booooosh could have all but put a woman's right to choose out of business when he had control of both houses and he didn't even try. The reason? Why kill off a cash cow.
