“Stupak did not make abortion legal for heavens sakes”
Who said he did?
“what he asked for was a bill that made sure the taxpayers did not pay for ELECTIVE abortions”
And when he didn’t get it, he signed on anyway.

He got his 700,000 pieces of silver.
He got what he could. Who objects to him not wanting to pay for elective abortions? I have always objected to paying for anyone’s elective abortions. I am a woman. If I got pregnant, and it was an unwanted pregnancy..I would not have an abortion for one thing...also...if someone did have an unwanted pregnancy...who in the heck would think they were entitled to tax payers paying for it? It just blows my mind that anyone would think they were entitled to taxpayers money to pay for an unwanted abortion. How arrogant and ignorant is that?
Also, though this has nothing to do with abortion, it has much to do with the sense of entitlement so many seem to have when it comes to taxpayer’s money. There was an interview with a young lady who had had a baby..she was an unwed mother. The interview was about state funded child care for unwed mothers so they would stay in school. Her complaint was that though she appreciated the day time child care, she was upset that she did not get the same for child care at night. She said...why dont we get tax payer funded childcare for night? Dont people expect us to have a social life??? HOn...that is why you are in the predicament you are in now...silly goose.
