A top black pro-life advocate says there is nothing racist about opposing the health care plans pending in Congress because they force taxpayers to finance abortions. Dr. Alveda King is responding to critics who say such opposition is racist and point to the outburst from Rep. Joe Wilson.During President Barack Obama's health care speech two weeks ago, Wilson shouted "You lie," as Obama ticked off a list of complaints about the bills he thought were false.
The Wilson comment has prompted some political observers to suggest that opposition to the three main bills -- HR 3200 in the House and the Kennedy and Baucus measures in the Senate -- is racially motivated. King says that's not so.
