I believe Stupak caved when he was promised that Obamacare wouldn’t require the taxpayers to pay for abortions........I believe Stupak said ‘I trust Obama’.....how’s that working out for ya, FORMER Congressman Stupak??
He just wanted "plausible deniability". The only reason he posed as a pro-lifer (I don't for a minute believe he actually was pro-life) was to get the votes of a pro-life constituency. I still remember him on TV at a town meeting explaining to his constituents that he felt it was okay to vote for it after "concessions were made", but the constituents were incredulous. Wasn't long after that Stupak decided not to run for re-election, and next thing we knew, Obamacare was trying to force nuns and Hobby Lobby to pay for abortions and contraceptives.
