They gain the Stupak 12 but lose 40 pro abortion votes if I understand this correctly.

I think Stupak had already lost 2 or 3 of his twelve earlier.

Real simple, we just tell Stupak that not one single Republican will vote for this.

And don't bluff, tell him we're not going to improve the bill. Even if it means passing it with the Senate language.

Let Stupak and Pelosi try to convince their coalition to hold together.

“They gain the Stupak 12 but lose 40 pro abortion votes if I understand this correctly.”

Doubtful :-(
The hard-core lefties ALL folded like cheap suits on this and voted FOR the House bill WITH Stupak in it.

The only good news here is that pelosi would only be dealing with Stupak if she didnt have the votes otherwise.

The BAD news is that this is an absurd contraption that will NOT WORK. Stupak is nuts to fall for it.
