ObamaCare and the Opening of NRLC 2012

Jun 28, 2012

Pro-abortion President Barack Obama

As great and motivational a speaker as Steven Mosher is, even the president of the Population Research Institute would quip that his speech would be a kind of “little interruption” as attendees awaited news of what the Supreme Court would do with ObamaCare. Speaking for no one but me, there was a hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach earlier this week when the Supreme Court defied convention wisdom in its decision on another case that many had predicted would go badly for the Obama Administration.

Be sure to read National Right to Life’s analysis of the decision in “National Federation of Independent Business v. [Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen] Sebelius.” The information contained is succinct and critically important for you to have at your fingertips in the months to come.

Many people mistakenly thought if the one component “everyone” thought would be overturned—the so-called “individual mandate”—somehow the many insidious dangers woven into ObamaCare would be unstitched. Not so, and in any event the law was upheld almost in its entirety. So Point #1: everything National Right to Life has warned you about is still very much in existence. ObamaCare is just as dangerous as ever. Even more so, which is Point Two.

Pro-abortion President Barack Obama will both double down on his “signature” domestic “achievement” and likely offer one of his famous gestures of “accommodation” which will mean absolutely nothing. That bogus “accommodation” is intended to portray the President as eager to see “common ground.” Nothing could be further from the truth.

To return to the response of the audience at the opening session this morning, there were audible groans of disappointment. But it took less than a nanosecond for disappointment to morph into determination.

In calling for pro-lifers to work harder than ever, Kansas Rep. Mike Pompeo noted that this is not the first bad Supreme Court decision pro-lifers had heard. NRLC President Carol Tobias said the decision means, “We know what our marching orders are.”

Indeed, there is clarity is such an abysmal decision. Stay turned to National Right to Life News Today. Tomorrow we will write about how pro-life leaders at NRLC 2012 flesh out those marching orders.
