The Stupak amendment gave cover to those dems that are pro-life to vote for this horror. It was a waste of time and it backfired.
Don’t be so sure Stupak won’t come back to slap the Dems. If it’s stripped out in committee, which we all know it will be, the Dems will be forced to vote for a bill that contains monies for abortion, this after refusing to do so with the bills first path.
By forcing more of the so called blue dogs into a yes position, Republican’s are handed a perfect commercial to use against them come 2010’s elections.
Best case scenario - the bill is dead over the abortion issue.
