As it is, Democrats now have to make some decisions that may anger their Planned Parenthood wing. The fight itself will be interesting, judging from a claim by Diana DeGette (D., Col.) in yesterday's Washington Post that 40 Democrats will vote against a final bill unless the Stupak amendment is stripped out. Of course, if it is stripped out, that will put even more pressure on those 64 Democrats who voted for the amendment.

"We won because [the Democrats] need us," says Mr. Stupak. "If they are going to summarily dismiss us by taking the pen to that language, there will be hell to pay. I don't say it as a threat, but if they double-cross us, there will be 40 people who won't vote with them the next time they need us—and that could be the final version of this bill."

What a crock. Stupak knew that this ban would be removed in committee.

He tried to save his own rear end at the expense of unborn babies.

Craven in the extreme.

” Bart Stupak wins a ban on federal funds for abortion “

‘Bart Stupak wins a *temporary* ban on federal funds for abortion’

[There - fixed it..]

Does anybody really believe that this amendment will survive in the final bill??

Don’t turn your back on ‘em for a second - keep up the pressure to kill the bill completely, and drive a stake through its black heart..

And the Wicked Witch San Fran Nan had a palpitation when passing this bill knowing the Stupid Stupak sham would be stripped from the bill later.

Come on, NOBODY but single issue voters believe this ban will last more than a few months, and even the wiser single issue voters know it too.

BS BS BS ... They are just gonna put it back in. If not in committee, then in a couple of years. All they care now is to pass the damn socialist bill.

I am against abortion, but one-issue voters sometimes hurt our cause, as on occasion they fail to see the big picture, and sometimes they get tricked, as in this case some pro-life congress critters got tricked into supporting a bill that will kill millions of seniors, just because Nancy (temporarily) took out a provision to pay for abortions.

” Nor was President Barack Obama ever called to answer for his flatly contradictory public statements on the place of abortion (the preferred term is “reproductive health care”)”

Recall hearing one defense of this being “ Obama was talking about his bill ( never written of course) that did not contain this language”

Shows us how Clintonian Barry can be when it suits his purpose

If Stupid thought they weren't going to re-insert those funds in a conference committee, he's too dumb to hold office. The whole thing was a cynical ploy that the players know will do NOTHING to save the lives of innocents. It gave cover to cowardly weasels, nothing more.

Ms Pelosi cry?

I thought she was a daughter of the delasandro crime family?
They don’t cry!

Is the WSJ really this gullible?

Have to wonder about WSJ sometimes. Business Investors Daily is my newspaper of choice. The Journal seems to miss it a lot of the time these days.
