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."

Minnesota Democrat Collin Peterson will be one who continues to spurn the bill. He voted for the Stupak Amendment and against the bill. He’s a more consistent pro-life vote than probably half of the Republicans in the House.

. . .if the pro-life language is stripped from the bill during negotiations with the Senate, if Pelosi loses the support of any three of these people below as a result -- without picking up anybody else's support -- the bill cannot pass the House.

Joe Baca Marion Berry* Sanford Bishop Dennis Cardoza* Chris Carney* Jim Cooper* Jim Costa* Joseph Cao* Jerry Costello Henry Cuellar* Kathy Dahlkemper Joe Donnelly* Mike Doyle Steve Driehaus* Brad Ellsworth* Bob Etheridge* Baron Hill Paul Kanjorski* Marcy Kaptur* Dale Kildee Jim Langevin Daniel Lipinski Stephen Lynch Michael Michaud* Alan Mollohan John Murtha Richard Neal James Oberstar David Obey Solomon Ortiz Tom Perriello* Earl Pomeroy Nick Rahall Silvestre Reyes Ciro Rodriguez* Tim Ryan John Salazar Vic Synder Zack Space* John Spratt Bart Stupak* Charles Wilson

She'll lose more than 3.
