Obama Misled Pope on Abortion, Congressman Charges
EWTN ^ | Jul 20, 2009

Posted on 07/21/2009 8:58:02 AM PDT by Pope Pius XII

In remarks on the House floor last week, Congressman Chris Smith argued that President Obama purposely misled Pope Benedict XVI when he said that he “wants to reduce abortion” at their July 10 meeting.

Smith recalled the president's statement to the Pope and pointed out that Obama has repeated it several times to different audiences. And yet, Smith charged, Obama’s actions have not aligned with his words. “He says one thing and does precisely the opposite.”

Now, the New Jersey Congressman said, Obama is offering a plan for health care reform that is a thinly veiled attempt to increase access to abortion on demand. The plan would increase funding for abortions and allow abortion services to be considered part of “basic health care” required by all insurance plans, including private plans.

Congressman Chris Smith has publicly stated what we FReepers have been writing about since that meeting took place. And it shall still fall on deaf ears.

We knew that, and I think Pope Benedict knew it too.

Obama wants MORE abortions.

In fact allot of money in the Health Scare Bill is for ABORTIONS!

Obama is so EVIL.

Why doesn’t the Pope condemn him as the LIAR he is?

WHY?

Why be tectful with the devil’s minion?

WHY?

When he doesn’t other Catholics FOLLOW OBAMA.

Our understanding of his words is what is at fault!

Words....only words....Words don't have the meanings that are historically meant for them....They only mean what the user intended, NOT WHAT THE WORDS ACTUALLY MEAN!

What has ObaMao done to reduce abortions?

The push for homosexual genital sex would reduce the number of pregnancies, thus less abortions!

Maybe that is his plan!

Lying to the pope....why, that’s almost as bad as saying the O’s name in vain.

Boy, the Pope sure is lucky to have the likes of an American Congressman to set him straight and keep him from being fooled by Obama. Gee, without an American Congressman to guide him, well, the poor old unsophisticated and simple Pope probably would have just turned the keys of the Vatican over to the President...and then what????????????????????????? I hope if the president talks to the EP, some Congressman will come to his rescue too. Really, I mean that; honest....

I hope the Pope asked him why he wants to reduce the number of abortions.
