Family Council Calls for Vote Against Abortion Funding
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thursday, December 10, 2009
In a statement on Thursday, Family Council Director, Jerry Cox, expressed concern over a vote this week by Senator Blanche Lincoln. Lincoln voted against an amendment sponsored by Senators Ben Nelson, D-Nebraska, and Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, that mirrored language in the House bill that prevents any health plan receiving federal subsidies from offering coverage for abortion. In a 54 – 45 vote, the amendment failed.
To Pledge or Not to Pledge
Recently, a young boy from West Fork, Arkansas, chose not to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in school. His reason: We don’t truly have “liberty and justice for all” because most states prohibit same-sex marriage. I gave my take on this issue last night to Pete Thompson of KARK 4 News.
