I agree that Aortion shouldn’t be funded in this bill — but the WHOLE bill is the problem. Removing abortion and passing the rest would just gaurantee they’d come back for the rest next year. Kill ALL of this bill! NONE of it can be passed — if it is, our nation will fold like a bad poker hand.

I absolutely agree: Kill the Bill

Frankly the bill has less chance of passing if they leave the Abortion Funding in the Bill. If this amendment passes and then the Health care bill is passed (with this amendment giving cover to the blue dogs) then as soon as government run health care is enacted, the abortion provisions will be added later, either by statute or by court decisions.

Hence, personally I'd rather not try to remove this language as part of an amendment as it makes the whole enchilada much harder to swallow. The more cr@p that is in this bill the less chance it has of passing.

I frankly think this is Pelosi's strategy.... Put the bad stuff in that they know will never pass, then remove it in the amendment process and bingo, you get the votes to pass Government Run Healthcare and give cover to the Blue Dogs. Then, after the monster is in place, they put the bad stuff back later.
