If Christians Worry about Public Policy, Does That Make Them Disobey Jesus?

I'm annoyed at a particular Christian who's always ranting against 'Obamacare' ("The Affordable Health-Care Act") ... the main complaint he (and a few of his Bible-buddies) make is that 'it'll mean we're payin` `fer people's abortions.' I feel like piping-up "Oh! So--now that Obamacare's approved--you're gonna roam the countryside doing abortions? No? Why do you indicate that you are (if you only do as you would have others do)? Isn't that too 'judgmental'?" I imagine they'll say somethin` like "Well, the Bible says that--in the last days--people'll say right is wrong & -wrong is right!" This is why I HATE a lot of the New Testament (including some of the post-resurrection sections of the Gospels): people quote it as 'the Word of God' when it's as much-'the Word of God' as -I am Lord Jesus Christ! I don't care what the Bible says if it goes against what God is saying RIGHT NOW! They say, "Well, God never goes against His Word. And that's the Bible, so the Bible must be right." First of all, where did you hear that 'the Bible is the Word of God.' From the Bible itself? Didn't Jesus say, "If I speak for myself, I am a liar?" So how do you expect the Bible to truthfully 'speak of itself'? And second; if there is Word-of-God in the Bible, it's thoroughly mixed with word-of-man (e.g. the "account of creation," the predictions of end-times Armageddon) I can only remember three phrases taken directly from God (not counting the prophets' transcripts): God's command to Adam ("Be fruitful; multiply; fill the Earth; subdue it; hold dominion"), His conversations with Moses (most-notably "Tell the people that 'I Am' has sent you"), and His voice after Jesus' baptism saying "This is my son with whom I am well-pleased." Everything else in the Bible is just guessing based on things seen in nature & -the stars & -society.
