Anyone who votes against or "present" for this amendment in order to put party politics over saving the lives of babies and is a murderer and can go to Hell. Literally.
Please ping your lists and light up the switchboards for Shadegg, Gingrey, Garrett, and Steve King.
Vote present, I agree.
My goodness. Look at the BIG PICTURE. If Stupak fails (and it DID), now the blue dogs cannot, in their good conscience, vote FOR the final healthcare bill and it will fail! All of it. No federally funded abortions, no federally-funded healthcare for illegals, no private option, no NOTHING.
This is utter nonsense.
The goal is to DEFEAT Obamacare and Pelosicare.
Federal funding for abortion will go down to DEFEAT by defating the bill.
Defeating Stupak amendment is the right strategy.
I’ve been wondering about this myself. It seems to me if they vote to muck up the process, even if that means techinically voting against a prolife amendment, that’s still voting prolife in my book. Most research I’ve done, indicates that the amendment is out come conference time, so it’s just to give cover to dems. Don’t give them any cover.
Disagree totally.
If voting the amendment down creates a poison pill for PelosiCare, then I agree with those voting present.
This amendment wasn’t pro-life. It was fake. Designed only to give Democrats from conservative districts cover.
You’re so far off the beam on this it isn’t even funny.
The amendment contained not only rape and incest exceptions, it provided a health of the mother exception. It wouldn’t stop a single abortion, in other words.
You understand what is at stake while the poster of this thread doesn’t have a clue. The needed to vote no because Pelosi was going to strip it from the final bill anyway and basically said as much and why she agreed to a voice vote.
I agree with your comments 100%!
National Right to Life and their mouthpiece Ertelt are completely compromised.
But I’m sure they can leverage this into lots of fundraising dollars. After all, that’s what they’re all about.
My blood pressure is probably off the chart tonight.
We’re watching the destruction of our country.
That’s exactly right in our convoluted political system. Voting against a fake “pro-life” amendment is itself a pro-life act because it makes it crystal clear that it would only have facilitated the passage of an intrinsically evil bill.
Bullshit. It was life of the mother. Your hatred has compromised your soul. Go to Confession.
Absolutely. I appreciate the concern, but there is the reality of the legislative process: you can rarely get anything done if you take a vow of purity.
This approach is simply a means to an end. The GOP has few options these days, and if it can defeat Pelosicare through this maneuver, our ultimate goal is achieved.
Voting present gives cover to dems.
Me too.
Mine is right with you! I cannot believe what we are witnessing and also cannot believe anyone on here would fall for the Pelosi trick on abortion knowing full well she believes in abortion 100% including partial birth.
