Live updates from Capitol Hill in the race to reform By Jon Ward - The Daily Caller 03/20/10 at 10:54 PM

BREAKING 4:24 P.M. – Stupak: “This bill is going to go through.”

“I do believe they had the votes even before we decided to support this legislation,” he said.

Meanwhile, House Minority Leader John Boehner, Ohio Republican, just put out a statement declaring that “a ‘yes’ vote on the Democrats’ health care bill is a vote for taxpayer-funded abortions.”

House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement on a potential Executive Order from the White House on abortion:

“The law of the land trumps any Executive Order, which can be reversed or altered at the stroke of a pen by this or any subsequent President without any congressional approval or notice. Moreover, while an Executive Order can direct members of the executive branch, it cannot direct the private sector.

“Because of Roe v. Wade, courts have interpreted the decision as a statutory mandate that the government must provide federal funding for elective abortion in through federal programs. In other words, no Executive Order or regulation can override a statutory mandate unless Congress passes a law that prohibits federal funding from being used in this manner. Legal experts at the US Catholic Conference of Bishops, National Right to Life Committee, Americans United for Life, and Family Research Council have confirmed this view that if the Senate bill is signed into law, it is a statutory mandate for the new health plans to include federal funding of elective abortion. The need for an Executive Order is evidence that this is true, and Congressional Democrats know it. Make no mistake, a ‘yes’ vote on the Democrats’ health care bill is a vote for taxpayer-funded abortions.”

““I do believe they had the votes even before we decided to support this legislation,” he said. “

Of course he’s say that. He isn’t going to put the target on his own back by becoming the 216th vote.

BTW, I think there will probably be 217+ now. Not much over though. It will be cover for all that voted for and all that voted against. A win win for the lib bustirds.

“Liar” and “not too bright” are not mutually exclusive. He could be both.

Obama’s executive order is the modern day equivalent of The Munich Agreement.

on Friday Boehner told Hannity they don’t have the votes and it if it goes to the floor they lose. So I don’t really believe him now.

If you take Obama at his word, you must therefore believe he is a dictator.

Boehner: “Pro-Life” Democrats Can’t Hide Behind an Executive Order

Stupak will be tormented all his life because of the vote he casted. Everytime he hears the word abortion, he will think about his vote.

He is like Pontious Pilate - trying to wash his hands clean of his evil deed.
