Your stats on “elective” abortions and those necessary are wrong as much as you and others do not want to hear it. If Stupak was duped...and if I was...it does not reduce his good intentions or lessen his having the courage of his convictions. I am giving him that which is more than you are doing with me. And I still have not insulted you.
The louse said he was going to not support the bill if it supplied funds for abortions.
It does.
He voted for it anyway.
It does, and will provide funds for abortions.
Good intentions? ‘Oh, don't judge me by the actual outcome of my actions, the outcome that as soon as I began my actions you all said was counterproductive to my stated goal, my intentions were good.’ Please.
We all knew that the Stupak amendment was a fig leaf. We told him it was. He said he would only support the bill if the language was preserved. It was stripped from the bill and he voted for it anyway.
His intentions were never honorable. His courage was always doubtful. His convictions were nowhere to be seen.
