Whether or not abortion language can be changed through reconciliation is a matter of the interpretation of Senate parliamentary rules, which are pretty fungible anyway. My thought is, once you put a national health care program through reconciliation, it’s hypocritical to exclude ethical funding restrictions as non-germane. Obviously, though, it’s an important question that needs to be weighed carefully.

This is starting to make sense. Remember when the CBO said that Obamacare cost more than Obama said? Obama invited Emendorf to the WH, and after that, surprise surprise, the CBO said Obamacare not only meets Obama's criteria, but it reduces the deficit.

Now Obama has been talking to the parliamentarian. You can guess where I think this is going.

Also, Stupak really might be waiting for a bribe.

Or, assuming that Stupak is more or less sincere about abortion, it's also possible that Obama will swindle him with an empty promise to add in abortion funding restrictions in reconciliation.

It would be easier to just say Obama and the democrats follow no rules or laws, they just change them, ignore them, or flat out threaten people. The Constitution they keep around like a bottle of “Head On” to be applied directly as needed when it suits them.

If Obamacare gets passed, the American people will have lost another major battle for liberty. Wonder how much we are willing to lose? When a person loses the freedom over their own body, they have lost about everything.
