>> Dems really should take out the abortion funding ...

They can’t. The feminists raised holy hell after the Stupak amendment, and a significant number of feminists in Congress said they will not vote for a bill without abortion funding, while a significant number of pro-life Democrats said they would not vote for a bill with abortion funding.

This may be the impasse we’ve been hoping for.

The really funny part is that feminists have fought for decades against government intervention in medical decisions, but they still haven’t figured out that this bill will get the government involved in ALL medical decisions. They, of all people, should be against this bill on principle.

I am pro-life — but, in this case, possible abortion regulation would be a perfect conservative case-in-point to illustrate to pro-abortion advocates why government-run healthcare is a HORRIBLE idea. When the government pays, the government makes its voice heard in decision-making.

Exactly.

This Bill was never going to get past the House on the final vote.
