I’m as pro life as it gets, but I would have voted against the amendment. The only reason obamacare passed the house was because of the Stupak amendment. Pelosi played the pro lifers like a violin, using them to get the cover she needed to pass the bill
Even if the Nelson amendment passed, it would be taken out in conference, the same way Stupak will. The most prolife vote in this instance is to vote against the amendment and take Obamacare down in the process (IMHO)
Democrat plan for young: “Give me your head, I want to stick this syringe in it”.
Democrat plan for the elderly: “This won’t hurt...you’ll just go to sleep”.
Those fun-loving DeathDemocrats are such a laugh riot.
I’m with you. I’m also as pro-life as it gets, but there’s no way I would have given cover to Ben Nelson or the others.
This bill is entorely democrat. It lives or dies with them.
In fact, I posted somewhere on this thread, that had the House Republicans followed Shaddeg’s lead by voting PRESENT on the Stupak amendment, the bill would have died in the House, provided the saintly blue dogs would have voted with Stupak.
We aren’t called the stupid for nothing.
I felt the exact same way about Stupak, screaming on here and at the television at the Repub’s not to vote for it. Then Bohner said “he would not play politics with life” and I knew he was right.
We do not have enough pro-life members in the House or the Senate to keep abortion from being funded. They will strip out any restrictions either in conference or after this monstrosity is shoved down our throats.
In the end I’d rather know I rather stand in front of God knowing I always voted for life. I just pray that our country, that is now majority pro-life, will elect those over the next 2-3 elections that can reverse what these communists have forced on us. We can’t win the battle but we may be able to win the war.
