Democrats worried about Republicans’ motion to recommit on Stupak language

http://thehill.com/homenews/house/88167-democrats-worry-gop-motion-could-stop-healthcare?page=2#comments

“Democrats are worried about holding their members together on a GOP motion that could kill the healthcare bill.

Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) said House leaders are specifically concerned about a Republican motion to recommit that would contain only language on abortion that Stupak originally had wanted to include in the Senate bill.

The concern is based on the fear of GOP attack ads painting Democrats who vote against a motion to recommit that includes Stupak’s favored language on abortion as “flip-floppers” on the issue.

Sixty-eight Democrats voted for Stupak’s language in a November vote. They could be portrayed as flipping if they now voted against it.

‘They are concerned about it,’ Stupak said after his Sunday press conference.”

___________________________

If the Republicans do this, it has about a 10% chance of killing the bill, but if it doesn’t, at least in November it will knock out another dozen “pro-life” Democrats, after they are revealed to by lying hypocrites.
