“Baby Killer”
Source: NY Times

Colleague David M. Herszenhorn reports that within the chamber, someone on the Republican side shouted “Baby Killer!” while Representative Stupak, an anti-abortion lawmaker who decided to vote for the bill, was denouncing a procedural move. He said it wasn’t “pro-life” but an effort to kill the bill.

The Republicans once again pull a Joe Wilson.

2. How dumb is that? Why is this shit allowed? Pro-life Stupak is now
a baby killer? Ugh. 'Willfully' ignorant, not just dumb.

3. Stupak was shaken by it.
Hope someone reveals who it was. If it were a member, he can and should be censured for it. It's a huge no-no to insult another member while in session.

4. Agree the person who yelled this should
receive whatever punishment the Congress can give

The rudeness should not be condoned

5. Good! He needs to know what type of people he was siding with!
So many "pro-life" Congressmen aren't really pro-life either. They prove it over and over. It's all about control and exploitation.

6. "Baby Killer" SAME WORDS
uttered by Billo in relation to Dr. Tiller. And we know what happened to Dr. Tiller. Whoever shouted those words knows what kind of fuse he was lighting.

Do we know who the shouter was?
