It is just like we said, it was a squishy amendment anyway, it no more protected life than it protected us from the IRS. It was there to give cover for those who have a pro-life constituency.
You want to fight by ethical rules, you want to believe that people mean what they say but I’ve been into politics long enough to know that they don’t play by those rules and if you think they do then you’ve already lost the game.

you want to believe that people mean what they say
Did I say that?
If Stupak had been killed by the GOP, things would be far worse now--for life, for the GOP, and for opposition to health care. If you can't see that, then I assume you're ignorant of what the country thinks, and what most pro-lifers think, in spite of my attempts to educate you.
Adding abortion into bills you don't like so that pro-lifers are "forced" to vote against them is extortion, plain and simple; it immorally risks the lives of millions of innocent babies; and it is the permanent end of any political friendship.
