NRLC: We’re still waiting for Obama to apologize - new NRLC Ad
The National Right to Life Committee has a new television ad out today in which they demand an apology from Barack Obama for calling them liars. The NRLC uncovered documentation that refuted Obama’s contention that he voted against SB1082, the Illinois version of the Born Again Infant Protection Act because it didn’t have the same “neutrality clause” of the federal BAIPA that protected abortionists. When David Brody confronted Obama about it, he called the NRLC liars — but later had to admit they were correct:

Fact Check has a lengthy rundown of this issue from last month, which the NRLC quotes in this ad. While Fact Check thinks “infanticide” is a questionable term, they clearly state that Obama got this argument wrong, and that the NRLC was right in pointing out that the bill had the same neutrality clause as BAIPA:
The statement was still on Obama’s Web site as of this writing, Aug. 25, long after Obama had accused his detractors of “lying.” But Obama’s claim is wrong. In fact, by the time the HHS Committee voted on the bill, it did contain language identical to the federal act.
And therefore Obama lied about the NRLC.
