Family Research Counsel’s Tony Perkins and Sojourners’ Rev. Jim Wallis on Health care

This week there was a “face Off” on CNN between the president of Family Research Counsel , Tony Perkins and President of Sojourners Rev. Jim Wallis.

The subject: Barak Obama’s call to religious leaders this past week reguarding health care reform…

Here is a recap:

Jim Wallis: God’s will is for health and not sickness when we are instruments of bringing good health we are doing the work of God… our system is broken.

Tony Perkins: [Obama] is not being forthright. [Under the Bill] Abortion would be expanded and paid for with tax payer dollars

Jim Wallis: Let’s take abortion off the table… [Jim Wallis makes Assurance he is not wavering on his Pro-Life stance] Good healthcare reform… could reduce abortion.

Tony Perkins: There is a problem in healthcare… [It’s] a top issue the church should be involved with. [Tony then talks about changing laws to keep people insured, but argues that until there is no tax funded abortion in the Bill there can’t be a “discussion” on law changes]

Jim: We have to commit ourselves to a debate that is honest… more people need good choices… [we] need to talk about how [lies] are keeping us from having a… debate.
