Bart Stupak: Abortion Language In Health Care Bill Is A Must
Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), who has long raised objections to health care reform based on his anti-abortion stance, said on Thursday that he and several other House members plan to dig in their heels again and may not vote for the final bill.

"We're not going to vote for this bill with that kind of language," Stupak said on ABC's "Good Morning America," a reference to language included in the Senate health bill that Stupak and 11 other Democrats say is not tough enough when it comes to limiting federal funding for abortions.

What an ass! And no primary challenger in sight? There's got to be some worthy Democrat in MI who would like Stupak's job.

7. Why stop at F?
I say we give him A-Z, baby! I'm sick of his shit.

Stay away from my body, Bart, and I guarantee you, I positively 100% guarantee you, you need never fear that I will come near yours!

4. What's the difference b/n Stupak and the republicans getting their marching orders from the
insurance industry? They're all owned and will go to the mattresses for their sponsors.

5. Has anybody been keeping up with a count?
The original bill passed with a 2 vote margin. An article several days ago noted Pelosi had 9 members who originally voted against it who are prepared to vote for it as of now. Stupak mentions he and 11 others are prepared to vote against it but I am assuming these include some who voted for it to begin with. I can't think we have any who voted for the amendment to begin with who would change to a 'no' over this. Does anyone have any more details?
