The Christian Life Resources (CLR) website has an article (http://www.christianliferesources.com/?news/view.php&newsid=7739 read the full article) dated Oct. 22, referring to the healthcare lawsuits going through the courts. The article has almost nothing to say about so-called life issues, but it does contain the following quote from one of the attorneys:
Richard Thompson, the president and chief counsel of the pro-life firm, said, "Obama Care is one of the most oppressive measures in the history of our Nation. And it was passed by Congress despite overwhelming opposition of the American people. It was not about reforming health care, but government seizure of unprecedented power over our lives. We will continue to challenge it in the courts.”
As I have said in previous posts, the CLR claims that it has no political agenda except to "inform" it's readers on pro-life issues, but this is just one more blatant example of using their website to promote a more generic political agenda. Using terms like "Obama Care", "oppressive", and "seizure of power" are not pro-life phrases: they represent a right-wing vocabulary that goes beyond CLR's stated mission. This suggests that the CLR website is just another stop on the rightwing blogosphere merry-go-round.
