More negative consequences for Rep. Bart Stupak, D-MI, flowing from his agreeing to support Obamacare tonight following President Obama's issuance of an Executive Order allegedly insuring that no federal funds will be used to pay for abortions.
"This Wednesday night is our third annual Campaign for Life Gala, where we were planning to honor Congressman Stupak for his efforts to keep abortion-funding out of health care reform- we will no longer be doing so," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List Fund.
"By accepting this deal from the most pro-abortion President in American history, Stupak has not only failed to stand strong for unborn children, but also for his constituents and pro-life voters across the country," she said.
"Let me be clear: any representative, including Rep. Stupak, who votes for this healthcare bill can no longer call themselves 'pro-life.' The Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund will not endorse, or support in any capacity, any Member of Congress who votes for this bill in any future election," Dannenfelser said.
For these Members, it will be a quick downhill slide to defeat in November," she said.
The problem is simple, according to Dannenfelser: "The executive order on abortion funding does absolutely nothing to fix the problems presented by the health care reform bill that the House will vote on this evening. The very idea should offend all pro-life Members of Congress. An executive order can be rescinded at any time at the President's whim, and the courts could and have a history of trumping executive orders. Most importantly, pro-abortion Representatives have admitted the executive order is meaningless."
The Susan B. Anthony List describes itself as "leading the fight against abortion funding in health care reform for over a year, spending nearly $2 million on a grassroots campaign of targeted television and radio ads, 1.3 million automated calls, 70,000 patch-through constituent calls, 1.2 million letters and petitions to Congress, two media and grassroots tours in pro-life Democratic districts, television ads in six districts and comprehensive polling in 20 pro-life Democratic districts."
All the more reason why WE need to get people motivated to get pollwatching credentials to challenge that kind of c.r.a.p. in the polls on election day AND to get people to go into their area courthouses, and look at the voter registration rolls to try to challenge the dead & ghost voters off of the rolls!
He's been hiding behind a facade that fooled a lot of people. In truth, he's a deadly hard-core socialist and slimy apostate behind that shifty face and metrosexaul hairdo.

Hopefully you guys will send a HUGE message!
I’m in Illinois, but I’m going to be donating to any person willing to run against any of the IDIOTS who voted to pass this ObamaScare legislation tonight.
I’ve always wondered about that myself. All those “deathbed confessions” and the sort. I do believe - dependent upon the person, and what is in their heart - that to live a life of sin and then ask for forgiveness right before death doesn’t necessarily get someone “off the hook” so to speak. Like you mentioned GENUINE repentance is one thing. I think when one is faced with death the fear may interfere with the “genuine” part...
I’m just glad it’s God who knows us inside and out is the one to judge. We can speculate on this all we want but when it comes down to it, only He knows really... Better not to wait - after all, not everyone knows when their time is almost up...
Meow.
Just had to comment that I totally agree with you. I basically came to the same conclusion as you — but yours is worded much better (less is more! LOL).
Fear drives a person to God many times when other things fail. The transaction of faith once God becomes clear can be very, very quick.
Make that silver, stamp them out in sets of 30, and send to Stupak.
When the civil war begins, stupak is mine.
BULL! The whole party is responsible. Those in that party should switch to independent in protest.
Hey, Red. I wonder if there is a way we can find out where he attends Mass and begin to petition the appropriate bishop to deny him Communion?
Stupid is as Stupak does.
He has chosen his path.
Put not your faith in Princes.
I was wondering the same thing. IMO, there is no way he should be able to get it as the EO he got does not guarantee a denial of abortion services.
Good for them! If only Notre Dame had been so courageous when Mr. Barry Infanticide came to town.
And yet the Church puts up with them. They need to be couageous and refuse every pro-choice politician and those who voted for this bill any of the rites and excommunicate them publicly.
The Church needs to take a hard stance against “Catholics” who openly defy the Church’s opposition to abortion, especially those in authority who who can protect the unborn as a matter of law.
