FRC Teams with Ted Cruz to Fight HHS Mandate
As cited in a recent Washington Times article, FRC Action is raising funds to “‘stop Obamacare in its tracks.’” They are doing this by lobbying for Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) bill to overturn Obamacare. As FRC Action President Tony Perkins stated:
“With your help today, we will shine the light of truth and turn up the heat in Washington in the days ahead…We will engage in political guerrilla warfare to stop Obamacare piece by piece.”
Swallowing Camels and Straining at Gnats
FRC Senior Fellows, Ken Blackwell and Bob Morrison, use Jesus’ saying to show how the Obama administration has not been defending religious freedom in their recent article featured on American Thinker and Townhall.com. Blackwell and Morrison highlight the Administration’s actions towards the Romeike family, a German family who has sought asylum in the United States so that their children can be homeschooled. Instead of helping this family, the administration is now “seeking their deportation.” As Blackwell and Morrison state:
“HSLDA recognizes that the position being taken by the Obama administration poses a grave threat to religious freedom for all Americans. The Obama view has recently been advanced that “freedom of worship” may be conceded, grudgingly, but freedom of religion—a broader right—is seriously questioned.”
Anna Higgins Speaks Out Against Plan B Ruling
Anna Higgins, Director of FRC's Center for Human Dignity, was quoted in a recent article in The Examiner which discussed the recent ruling by the U.S. District Court that allows girls under 17 to get Plan B without a prescription. Higgins stated:
“Making Plan B available over-the-counter for any age will put many of these young girls at further risk because it circumvents necessary medical screening for sexually active girls.”
