Executive Order Wins with (Judas) Stupak, Loses with Anti-Abortion Rights Groups

Moments ago, Bart Stupak signed on to support health care reform after the President issued an executive order, reiterating that the bill would not allow for public funding of abortion. That won over Stupak and many other anti-abortion rights, but has done little to sway groups that oppose abortion rights.

The National Right to Life, Americans United for Life, Family Research Council, and Susan B. Anthony List have all come out against the executive order strategy. Three of Stupak’s anti-abortion rights colleagues, Dan Lipinski, Jerry Costello, and Gene Taylor, still oppose the bill, according to the National Review Online.

These groups have regularly blasted the Nelson language as an ‘accounting gimmick’ that would not actually prevent federal funding of abortion. I should note here that numerous fact-checks by both news organizations and non-partisan watchdogs have been explicit that this is not the case: the Senate bill would not allow for federal abortion funding.

Immediately after BO signs this into law Stupak’s Bishop should ex communicate him,

I predict Stupak won’t be in Congress after Jan 2011.

[ConjunctionJunction]

Bart has “Stupaked” the nation.

[notaliberal]

He’s a piece of CRAP!

[dalebert]

stupak lied....he has been arguing this for 2 months...he know an executive order is worthless due to roe/wade...its a crock of crap ...and he knows it.

[Soothesayer]

Any leftist who uses the words “abortion rights” should be shot on sight for crimes against humanity.

There is no such thing as a “right” to kill a child. Leftists are vermin worthy only of extermination. They have no right to exist in this world.

The Stupid-pact was a sham from day 1:

The US is broke. This bill does nothing to fix that. Socialism fails, always.

[Sans-Culotte]

Because it rhymes, sort of, I will henceforth refer to Bart Stupak as Bart Douchebag.

[wastedyears]

Everybody has their price.

Stupak has done the most stupid thing he could possibly do. Those who oppose abortion will now despise him. And if he thinks he has won any love from those who support abortion, he is badly mistaken.

[AmishDude]

Don’t forget his buddies. If it were just Stupak, Nancy wouldn’t have enough votes. It’s the rest of the stupakers.

Even worse, as I understand it, Obama can rescind the EO immediately after the bill is signed. It’s absolutely valueless.

[Sacajaweau]

Not worth the paper it’s written on.....

[Foolsgold]

Didn't I hear that when O'butthead signs the Senate bill, the executive order goes away????

[FightThePower!]

“I predict Stupak won’t be in Congress after Jan 2011.”

Like that friggen matters, the bill he passed into law will be around tomorrow.

Stupak better pray like crazy that he doesn't have a tree fall on him 2nite, because the carelessness by which he has handled the futures of thousands and thousands of unborn (not to mention their wounded mothers) will be riding on his soul should that take place. {The babies in heaven are not happy with your decision, Bart, and neither is their Maker.)
