This may explain what he is doing. It’s an article from LifeSiteNews from yesterday:

http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/mar/10031910.html

“Stupak said that he proposed legislation, an “enrollment corrections bill,” to House Democrat leaders last week, which he said was generating some interest. However, he is demanding that his abortion fix to the health care reform bill be passed into law before Democrats act on the bill.

“It has to be passed before the President would sign the Senate bill,” he emphasized. But the pro-life Michigan Democrat added that he had little confidence the measure would get any farther than the House of Representatives.

Failing the Senate approving his changes, Stupak said the White House would not get him and his twelve Democrats to support the Senate bill.

“My group is still holding firm, there are no votes,” Stupak said, adding that the position of his twelve has not changed since June 25, 2009, when they informed Speaker Pelosi that they would not vote for a bill that allowed federal dollars to subsidize abortions or health care plans that offer abortions.

He said that his group all voted for health care the first time around, but “we want to continue protecting the sanctity of life.”

“My group of twelve here we can make the difference on this vote, but at the same time, there is a principle we’re standing up for,” he said.”

This is exactly what Stupak has proposed and Obama and the Dems have sold their souls to the devil and the pro-aborts so they will not compromise on this one.

IT IS POPCORN TIME....

I hope he’s telling the truth.
