Here's the thing I don't get about Bart Stupak...

[Ken Burch]

Doesn't he realize that universal healthcare, simply by being put into existence, would REDUCE the number of abortions?

Why on earth doesn't the man understand that?

1. Ideologues don't think... they only pontificate n/t

[tallahasseedem]

2. He was scary...

during his interview with Matthews. Wide eyed and not willing to compromise one bit.

[Warpy]

3. Too Catholic, I guess.

Most Catholics are sensible people who know a celibate old man in a dress really doesn't know what he's talking about when he lectures on family and reproduction.

Stupak is not one of the sensible ones. He wants to force Roman dogma as law.

[Ken Burch]

4. I just checked Wikipedia. He doesn't have any grandkids

I wonder if that's why he's so obsessed with this.

BTW...does anybody actually know what the old German guy wears under that robe?

[Bozita]

5. And too much "C Street"

Not a good place to find rational thinking.

[lazarus]

6. yep

Read "The Family" a few months ago. Those people are scary.

7. I'm not following the logic myself

unless you mean that somehow it would increase the use of birth control.

I didn't think that the cost of birth control was a major impediment to it's use.
