Are you still sticking by this? I hope you’re right.
I can’t make out if there will or will not be a vote today?
Yes, I am sticking by it.
Provided the GOP are smart (heh), here’s how this should go: On the Stupak Amendment, the GOP should tell its pro-choice caucus members to go ahead and vote against it.
That will ensure its defeat.
Then, we’re right back to where we started with the bill funding abortions and the supposedly pro-life Dems back in the same situation they were in yesterday, before this ‘deal’ was struck.
This deal is weak. They don’t have the votes.
