Apparently, Stupak enjoyed the support of pro-life groups and was just playacting for their benefit. I hope no one in his state is fooled anymore.

Still there may be a silver lining here, and it does not involve Stupak. By passing the bill, it will become apparent what is in it and opposition will grow, hopefully leading to a repeal. If it had failed, republicans would be blamed for stopping reform.
