It the Stupak Health Care Bill
“Beware of anybody yapping about weapons and revolution and violence.”
True! Especially on the Internet. Be prepared but keep it hypothetical. When the time comes, you’ll know it.
....I will persist....
Good. I admire your tenacity.
You’re welcome, jon. I also believe the words of John Adams in my tagline are extremely appropriate at this point and time in our history, “thanks” to politicos like Bart “The Stoop” Stupak.
Obama's Ex Dec. is nothing more than the sham that Planned Parenthood and many other abortionists use, "the health of the mother is at stake......" or in PP's case "we take your tax dollars and use them as .....but not on our abortion business (we pay for the building, the equip., advertising, staff, etc that perform abortions with tax dollars but NOT for abortions per se.)"
Everyone winks at each other and pay for abortions WITH tax dollars no matter what they say.
We have entered a brave, new world. Welcome to the USSA: the United Socialist States of America.
The most powerful person in the world is a Kennedy. The ironic thing is that his first name is not Ted, Joe, John or Robert....it's Anthony. Teddy would get a good laugh over this. He liked a good joke.
Roberts, Alito, Thomas and Scalia already know this is Unconstitutional.
Breyer, Souter, Ginsberg and Sotamayor don't care about the Constitution. It's for the chilruns and the greater good passes for judicial opinion.
This will be overturned in a 5-4 opinion.
Excomm all Pro Abort Catholic Lawmakers. I don’t care that he hides as a Knight of Columbus, if the USCCB had any balls they would Excomm Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, Kennedy, Stupak et al tonight. This is a disgrace.
Yes it does. But the global warming hasn’t been bad lately:) I see a lot of people here ready to come unglued over this. I’ll be in good company.
we are in 1934 germany.
is there a place we can contact to let the Catholic Church know our feelings?? Maybe bring some pressure to bear?
The end started coming much faster when the Iron Curtain fell...
It’s been shuffling down that winding road for a while though.
On the diocese's home page:
Health care for life and for all
"Abortion is not health care because killing isn't healing."
GEE, I feel so much better with Obama IN than I would with McCain/Palin
I think Stupak was grandstanding to impress his constituents. Obama has a PHD in Thugology from the University of Acorn. We have a “groomed” thug in the Whitehouse.
Why did Bart Stupak agree to a deal which supposedly restricts abortion funding by an executive order, when it’s obvious, as Yuval Levin points out, that an executive order can’t trump a law and the Senate bill clearly authorizes abortion funding? The reason, I suspect, is that aside from the abortion language Stupak really wants this bill to pass and recognized that it wasn’t going to if he didn’t make the deal. On the Energy and Commerce Committee Stupak has been a protege and ally of his Michigan colleague John Dingell. Dingell is the longest-serving member of the House, and every year he files a bill providing for nationalized health care, which was supported by his father, who preceded him in the House and served from 1933 until his death in 1955, after which the current Mr. Dingell was elected to succeed him. In his remarks Stupak took care to thank Dingell, even though he was ousted as Energy and Commerce Chairman by Henry Waxman with the support of Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Why did the Obama administration and the Democratic leadership make the deal with Stupak? Because they feared they didn’t have the 216 votes to pass the bill without him. And they know that, as Debby Wasserman-Schultz stated, an executive order cannot override an act of Congress. Wasserman-Schultz is an astute member of the Democratic leadership and can be counted on to calm down the feminist left members who could expected to be furious at any abortion ban. You can be sure such assurances have been given behind the scenes.
How many votes does Stupak bring with him? We won’t know for sure until the roll call. But it’s interesting that in his announcement only one other member spoke, Marcy Kaptur, who had already indicated she would support the bill.
Stupak will vote FOR taxpayer-funded abortion. That’s all there is to it. He said he was pro-life but just like Evan Bayh he lied to get elected. He’s a liar.
He thinks his life was hell the past two weeks.
The Right-to-Life groups that endorsed Stupak have supported taxpayer-funded abortion. Such groups should now be referred to as “so-called” right-to-life groups, or phony groups.
Stupak lied, babies died, we paid for it.
Thanks for the information:)
