Fred Lucas puts words in Obama’s mouth in a June 26 CNSNews.com article:
Listing the reasons why Americans should vote for him, President Barack Obama told an audience at a high school in New Hampshire on Monday that failure to subsidize abortions and contraception is the same as “restricting access” to those services.
At no point does Obama say that he supports “subsidized abortions.” In fact, the word “abortion” appears nowhere in the Obama speech Lucas is writing about, and it certainly doesn’t appear in the speech excerpt Lucas includes in his article.
Lucas is simply making up stuff here, inventing meanings for Obama’s reference to “restricting access to birth control or defunding Planned Parenthood.” As we’ve previously detailed, no federal money awarded to Planned Parenthood is spent on abortions, no matter how much CNS falsely implies it.
Why does Lucas think it’s OK to lie so blatantly about Obama? Because his boss, Terry Jeffrey, has made Obama-hate a major part of CNS’ editorial policy.
