"P.S. Don't let anyone tell you not to celebrate this victory in the House [Stupak-Pitts Amendment] just because the bill is far from perfect and more battles lie ahead. They do -- and that's exactly why we must draw strength and encouragement from these kinds of pro-life victories" --Eric Scheidler, Pro-Life Action League.Never confuse a “moral victory” with a real victory. All I see this amendment doing is giving cover to those in the next election who want to say “I voted for it before I voted against it.”
Right now, at least two leading Democrat congressmen have come out and said that this amendment will be stripped out in the conference committee, hand picked by Pelosi and Reid.
So if the senate approves any bill at all, it is over. After the bill is rewritten to be exactly what Obama wants, and nothing he does not want, a simple majority up or down vote in both houses and it is off to him to sign.
