If she could have so easily thrown those prolife rats under the bus then, what difference does it make now? So all we get is a tiny phantom bone for the pro-lifers,but you really believe they still won`t throw them under that bus?Or have those formerly helpless prolife rats magically become important?Make up your mind,either they were superfluous or not.And just how would that have caused more Republicrats to have voted FOR it.
I think this helps summarize the dilemma for the RATS:

“The RATS can’t get the monstrosity thu the House without Stupak, and they probably can’t get it through the Senate with it.”
I would add, that the leftists in the House have only gone along with Stupak, because they think they can pull a fast one and add back in abortion support later, but they’re being watched like hawks and it won’t be easy for them.
Stupak’s manuevers threaten the House reconciliation, and Stupak and/or the leftist manuevers threaten the cloture vote in the Senate either on the pro-aborts side or on Nelson, et al’s second cloture vote side (which requires 60 votes still.)

Again, why are you blaming pro-lifers for this monster bill?
Also, I don’t think PelosLIE and Scarry Reid knew what they were doing on this, nor all the pitfalls they’d run into. Yet all in all, it’s too close for comfort, and if it passes too simplistic to blame it all on support of one amendment (Stupak). As it stands now, there is a pro-life block to try to insert language that will block cloture passage in the Senate.
About throwing the Pro-life RATS under that bus - perhaps pelosLIE wanted to throw ‘em under the bus, but the Pro-life Rs prevented that. I think it’s still a monkey wrench in the (socialist) works.
