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.”
Deciding who is the more stupid, Boehner or Stupak, is quite a task.
Sorry for the similar post.
That would be to assume Dems have a conscience. I think we all know that this bunch does not.

He’s not mentioning the parliamentary problem with the “fix bill” in the Senate. Is he not aware of it?
And of course, Greta’s not asking him about it.
Obviously that was before Stupak betrayed the unborn with a kiss in the garden. Everyone knew by today it was all on Stupak. There was no math that had this bill going down without him standing strong.
If that were true, he had the perfect opportunity to vote no as his conscience would direct.
Sorry, I'm not buying it Stu.
You are giving him too much credit. He has talked too much. He made it clear that he understood what was at stake and what a real guarantee of no federally funded abortion really means. No he is not stupid. He is evil and he will answer before God.
..the ones who, not only approve the killing of innocent unborn children...
..but who also enjoy playing games with the American citizens, pretending, like Stupak, they have a moral compass....Stupac has no moral compass....he is one of satan's minions & played it well.
Stupak's little game may have given him his 15 minutes....
..but Bart, eternity is a lot longer than 15 minutes!
Just reinforces me NOT to put my trust in man....man will not save us.
This man must be a sociopath if he's able to sleep at night.
Did AnyFreeper think that this cretin would not cave? There’s no toothfairy either.
The only difference between rape and seduction is Salesmanship.
That unfortunately for him WILL be his legacy.
There are certain facts of life which cannot be changed.
It’s taken me a while to get it through my thick head, but I now know for sure.
ALL DEMOCRATS LIE. ALL DEMOCRATS WANT ABORTION. SOME DEMOCRATS ARE SOCIALISTS, THE REST ARE MARXISTS.
I believed he would stand his ground.
That’s the reason you’re still “cubreporter.”
Boehner’s statement was dependent on Stupak’s word that is apparently worth nothing.
We should call the Healthcare law the “Stupak Bill” in all future references.
