The Bishops at least insisted on keeping the thin pro-life veneer. Stupak sold out for an EO, by definition written on toilet paper, that even the Bishops said was unacceptable.
I’m sure they think it would be nice to have universal care. What are they or their church personally doing about the issue of limited care besides badgering the government to steal from all?
I think recent events have demonstrated that this is not true. As evidenced by the fact that this bill passed without the Stupak amendment, there is no reason to believe that it would not also have passed in November if Pelosi had held firm and squeezed Stupak's very small testicles back then as well.
National Right to Life, NRTL, bullied the House Republicans in November to vote for Stupak. As a result, HC passed the House. Without NRTL the House would have fought over HC till Christmas.
The NRTL organization, more than anyone else, is responsible for this whole mess, and they will have lakes of baby blood at their feet over the decades.
NRTL is a detestable, disgusting organization, on the level of Planned Parenthood.
Stupak is no more pro-life than my car. He voted to provide federal taxpayer dollars (many billions to start) for abortions on demand and abortion clinics. There is NOTHING pro-life about that and about Mr. Stupak. He should be ashamed for his vote and defeated in November.
The Bishops didn't get a vote, Stupak did, won't wash with me.
