Representative Dale Kildee, Democrat of Michigan and a strong opponent of abortion, announced on Wednesday that he was satisfied with the provisions in the Senate-passed health care bill that seek to limit the use of federal money for insurance coverage of abortion.
The announcement by Mr. Kildee that he would support the health care legislation and would not oppose it based on the abortion issue gave a huge lift to House Democratic leaders, who have been working to assure abortion opponents that a vote for the bill would not reflect any change in policy on abortion, including the law known as the Hyde amendment, which bars the use of federal money for abortion in most cases.
“For those who know me, I have always respected and cherished the sanctity of human life. I spent six years studying to be a priest and was willing to devote my life to God. I came to Congress two years after the Hyde amendment became law,” Mr. Kildee said in a statement. “And I have spent the last 34 years casting votes to protect the lives of the unborn. I have stood up to many in my party to defend the right to life and have made no apologies for doing so. I now find myself disagreeing with some of the people and groups I have spent a lifetime working with. I have listened carefully to both sides, sought counsel from my priest, advice from family, friends and constituents, and I have read the Senate abortion language more than a dozen times.”
He added, “I am convinced that the Senate language maintains the Hyde amendment, which states that no federal money can be used for abortion.”

Crap.
What’s the count up to with Kucinich and now Kildee?
Abortion funding by the taxpayers WILL be in the final bill.
All the News outlets considered this guy a YES last week .
So the NY Slimes is sending out the OLD News as New News for there Dear Leader .
Dennis and Kidlee were always a YES as of last week.
I’m waiting for the suckers to jump on this thread and start applauding any minute now. 3, 2, 1...
how many casts is he wearing from the broken arms and legs routine of the thugs....
Bad news....things are heading in the wrong direction for us.
Media trying to create momentum for this atrocious bill.
Nanzi is going to get a false sense of momentum and recklessly call for a vote.
The Democrats are going to exhaust every single possible yes vote and still fall a couple short. Watch as frightened Dems start bolting and the ‘yea’ votes start changing to ‘nay’ and the panicked leadership slams the vote closed.
And then watch as all hell breaks loose. Nanzi’s days as Speaker are numbered. I give her two weeks tops.
This is OLD NEWS>
This guy made this announcement LAST WEEK.
Do Not FALL for the NY SLIMES recycling an old announcement as New !!!!!!
Its an Alinsky Tactic.
Alinsky 101.
Yup, you're right, Blue Turtle. As other FReepers on this thread have pointed out, Kucinich and Kildee have always been in the YES column (per the NY Slimes).
Still we MUST keep calling and calling! Don't let up on 'em!
How are they doing this? It is so clear that it approves abortion. The abortion folks support it. How are they convincing pro-lifer people that it doesn't allow abortions?
Of course, the media will allow them to get away with this, and then when people find out they are paying for abortion coverage, the media will act like nothing's up.
The Alinsky rule is to keep pushing Lies and False stories to depress and exhaust your opponents
The wacko Dennis and this old announcement recycled as New are Axelrod astroturfing and old Alinsky propaganda tricks .
From your lips to God’s ears...
Today’s propaganda action is to have people who were already planning to say yes, to make a big deal about, with some help from a compliant state press. Another sign they are losing!
I pray you are correct.
You were suckered.
The Enemedia is trying to create momentum by recycling this old story (he was on board last week) with new windowdressing.
