On Sunday at church, I overheard someone(s) totally raging about how the healthcare reform was going to kill America, the public option would put large swaths of our country out of work, and would totes fund abortions for every man, woman and child, etc.
I’m like 95% sure that the first two points are grossly inaccurate, but the final point is absolutely ridiculous. The House bill that passed, according to the National Journal,
… adopted an amendment offered by Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., Saturday to the overhaul bill that bans the public option from covering abortions and private insurers from providing abortion coverage to anyone who receives a federal subsidy. [Emphasis mine.]
Evangelicals, why the long faces? I guess my question—one of genuine curiosity—is why would Jesus vote no on healthcare reform, including the public option? Feel free to make an argument using the Bible as a source, but please cite your sources.
