Stupak: Health bill abortion fight can be resolved

TAWAS CITY, Mich. (AP) - Michigan Democrat Bart Stupak says prospects are good for resolving a dispute over abortion that's led some House Democrats to threaten to withhold support of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.

Stupak said Monday he expects to resume talks with House leaders this week about wording that wouldn't impose new limits on abortion rights but also wouldn't allow federal funding of the procedure.

Stupak's emerged as spokesman for about a dozen House Democrats who say the Senate's version of health legislation would authorize federal abortion subsidies. They insist on restoring stiffer restrictions from the House measure.

Is anyone planning a “days of rage” to go to Washington, surround the Capitol and invade the House chamber and stop voting for health care? I think the people should show their strength. Wonder if Bachmann has any plans?
