Tony Perkins: indecent
Here's Tony Perkins of the FRC in his latest Washington Update:
On June 9, 1954 Boston lawyer Joseph Welch, representing the U.S. Army during the Joe McCarthy hearings, asked the Wisconsin senator, "Have you no sense of decency?" "Where is the decency?" can be asked of a different committee chairman today. On February 1, 2004 Janet Jackson exposed herself on national television during the Superbowl. The public outcry helped to overwhelmingly pass the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act, which would increase fines levied by the FCC, in both the House and the Senate, but the legislation mysteriously died in Conference. On February 16, 2005 the bill (H.R.)(310) once again overwhelmingly passed the House, 389-38. Chairman Ted Stevens (R-AK) of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation has held hearings on November 29, 2005; December 12, 2005; and January 19, 2006 with broadcast companies overrepresented relative to family and consumer groups....The question today is, "Chairman Stevens, where is the decency?"
But wait, there's more:
For 33 years the United States has been forced by Supreme Court judicial decree to accept an unlimited right to abortion in our U.S. Constitution.
An unlimited right to abortion? A right to abortion without any limits?
Tony Perkins is indecent. He will say anything, no matter how false, to advance his agenda. There are many limits on abortion -- I assume everyone knows that. Parental notice, spousal notice, parental consent, waiting periods, and so on. Why, late term abortions can be completely banned if there's an exemption for the health of the mother. This is the only reason why bans on "partial birth abortion" so often are struck down -- the proponents of the bans refuse to make exceptions to protect the mother's life.
