FRC vs. Obama on abortion
Ben Smith's Blog —
The Family Research Council comes with a smallish, $100,000 buy of a spot attack Obama for his promise to overturn the partial birth abortion ban.
The group says the ad is airing in the same markets that a liberal Christian group, Matthew 25, has been airing ads touting pro-life support for Obama.
This ad, unlike previous abortion attacks, avoids the confusing, disputed attacks on Obama for allegedly supporting infanticide, and goes after him for a position he actually holds.
David Brody has lots of detail.

Ad: Obama and abortion posted at 2:10 pm on October 13, 2008 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | printer-friendly The Family Research Council takes aim at the Matthew 25 PAC that has tried to sell Barack Obama to evangelicals. In their new advertisement, the FRC notes that Obama himself has described his enactment of the Freedom of Choice Act as his “top priority” as President: The FOCA would undo many of the restrictions on abortion at the federal and state level. That’s not an analysis from anti-abortion advocates, but from pro-abortion activists like NOW and Planned Parenthood. It’s a radical departure from the current, more moderate ...

The First Thing Obama Will Do If Elected
RIGHTWINGSPARKLE —
The first thing he says he will do is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That is his first priority. What will the FOC act do? It will overturn the Partial Birth Abortion Ban that outlaws the procedure where a baby's body is delivered, but the head is left in the birth canal, and then the Abortionist sticks scissors into the baby's head and then the scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed. The FOC act also eliminates parental notification for a minor for a surgical procedure that ...
'FOCA' - New FRC Ad
Politics Daily —
Filed under: Ads, 2008 PresidentThe Family Research Council has a new :30 ad airing Colorado, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. It's titled FOCA which stands for Freedom Of Choice Act.
As interests groups go, Family Research Council is like all the others. They have membership to address and a set of issues to focus upon.
But TV is not a targeted medium, unlike e-mails, mailings, door-to-door or phone calls.
One wonders, on both Left and Right, if some interest groups are simply doing what they always do. Voicing their issues in the same old way, ...
As Promised... Obama's First Move Will Be to Expand Abortive Procedures
Gateway Pundit —
Do you remember Barack Obama's outrageous and dishonest mock "Pro-Life" websites paid for by George Soros? Yeah, they were all a lie. One of the first moves by the most radical pro-abortion and infanticide candidate in the last 35 years will be to swell the number abortions both here and abroad. At least Obama is keeping his promise to Planned Parenthood. Barack Obama is looking to undo some 200 of George Bush's actions and executive orders... Including expanding abortive procedures. The Washington ...

Will FOCA force the Catholic Church out of healthcare? posted at 4:27 pm on March 6, 2009 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | Share on Facebook | printer-friendly We have asked this question before, on several occasions during the campaign, and now the media has begun to ask it as well. With the Catholic Church providing over 600 hospitals nationwide, servicing mostly needy areas, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch wonders aloud today whether the Freedom of Choice Act pushed now by Rep.

100 Days Presser: The FOCA Fade posted at 11:36 am on April 30, 2009 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | Share on Facebook | printer-friendly Can’t say that this expiration date bothers me as much as I assume it bothers Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and other pro-abortion forces. Last night at his 100 Days presser, CNN’s Ed Henry asked Barack Obama when he would fulfill his campaign promise to the abortion industry and make signing the Freedom of Choice Act a priority. Obama stammered out a retreat, clearly uncomfortable in front of an audience not entirely comprised of abortion activists: Q: Thank you, Mr. President. In a couple of weeks, ...
