In which he says his critics are “bearing false witness” against his plan (I’m more than happy to let Jesus judge that one on judgment day). It’s interesting how he condemns his opponents as breaking the Ten Commandments by stating what is in the House bill:You can read more about the orgs behind the conference call here.And here’s the reaction of the religious right to the conference call. Here’s an example:

I am shocked and disappointed that Melody Barnes failed to answer a question on tonight’s call on whether the President’s healthcare reform would increase funding for abortion. The White House needs to be truthful in the fact that the Capps Amendment as based by the House Energy and Commerce Committee will force abortion to be covered in any public insurance option. Dishonest spin is not what people of faith want to hear.

BTW, the left is just as obnoxious as the right in condemning those who disagree with them. You’d think that all these years of complaining about the religious right being in bed with politicians they’d learn a lesson.
