My purpose is not to defend Planned Parenthood. Rather, I just want CLR to live up to standards worthy of a Christian organization (and one that claims affiliation with my church body).
- The article says that President Obama is "holding steadfast to the funding for the Planned Parenthood abortion business." This statement is untrue. It is against the law to use tax dollars for abortion. To say otherwise is partaking in partisan Republican spin.
- Singling out a specific organization for defunding is very unusual. One Michigan conservative Representative voted against the measure for that very reason. I didn't see his name mentioned in the article. Oh, I forgot...he's a Republican.
- Many worthwhile programs were cut, due in large part to the slash and burn mentality of the Republican majority in the House. Yet the only politician presented in a negative light is President Obama. Once again, CLR is happy to go out of its way to criticize the Democratic president without mentioning the Republicans that voted on the package. If CLR wants the money restored for Community Health Centers, maybe an article should appear encouraging the House leadership to propose it.

This is important to point out the falsehoods which CLR passes on tonthe unsuspecting public. My church body, the ELS, stands with WELS in promotinh this deceptive organization. I personally believe that CLR perpetuates a devious kind of pious fraud.
