        Right. But would they have fact-checked if it wasn't Democrat against Democrat? I have my doubts.

      Of course, if I had my way taxpayer funds would be available for abortions (legal medical procedure that it is) but.........

      So this would mean that even women who need an abortion due to dangerous complications or even need miscarriage managed will be forced to pay out of pocket?

      How can a nation that has 1.3 Million terminations per year not have more people speak up and protest this?

        I don't believe that's what the bill proposes.

        I believe the the bill states that government will fund abortion in cases of rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother. To me, this means if there are any "dangerous complications" or likewise then the abortion would be federally funded.

        Where in the insurance plans is the calculation of what to pay God for performing spontaneous abortions (miscarraige)?

      After being exposed for the liar that he is, Stupak should now STFU. It seems that he's playing the role of attention w#0re.

        Maybe Stupak would like to have dry cleaners funded in the health care bill as they can provide all the hangers needed for future abortions; that would leave the insurance industry out of it, so they can concentrate on denying other health care coverage

        This will be a good test. Is Stupak just speaking for himself? Where does the Roman Catholic Church officially stand on this language is the more important question, I believe. Do they make the same mistake he does, or don't they?

      More people heard this than the size of fox news audience.

        Exactly, but if you tell a Foxbot that, they will tell you that the network news programs are so poorly watched as to be irrelevant.

      Stupak needs to be denied campaign funds for this year's election and there needs to be someone running against him in a primary. He is member of "The Family" and lived for years at the C-Street palace, for $600 per month. He has refused to acknowledge to whom he paid this paltry sum every month. But his partner in this pathetic dissembling about the health care reform bill from the senate is a right-wing prolifer in the repubschmuckian party. He is not a democrat. He is just another right-wing extremist who refuses to recognize that a woman has a right to choose what happens to her own body in this country. He needs to go, yesterday.

        Well, at least we have a counterwieght to him now in the Republican party: Scott Brown - who knew he was pro-choice?

      This report makes crystal clear the extreme position of Stupak, and that he would derail reform for this is really revolting.
