The operative word is elective. I believe Stupak believes we have protection against healthcare providing tax dollars for elective abortions. He well may have been duped. I do not think he thinks he was. I am giving him that. Michigan supports Stupak. They always have. He polls very high. Still does. There is a reason for that..whatever they are. They like him. And believe in him.

He was duped, either willingly or otherwise; and you were duped as well if you think this bill will not provide funds for abortions. Only a vanishingly few abortions are actually medically necessary, almost all of them are “elective”.

Nice that Stupak has people willing to go to bat for him. Too bad for him you are not a very effective advocate.

This guys vote did not jibe with his public statements and his “principled” stand against publicly funded abortions. Even when his language was stripped out of the bill, and after saying he would only vote for it with those guarantees; he voted for it anyway.

The guy is a louse and a liar without principle, and if a majority of Michiganders support him, then the more fool they.
