Well, one sinister possibility did occur to me.
Suppose Pelosi has given Stupak permission to vote AGAINST the bill. It wouldn’t matter, as long as enough of Stupak’s colleagues folded and voted for it.
If she has enough votes to pass it with abortion still in, then she can secretly give Stupak a pass to vote “no.” Perhaps she can require someone else who was allowed to vote “no” last time around to switch.
