Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) said the White House and the Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives have been pressuring him not to speak out on the "compromise" abortion language in the Senate version of the health care bill.
“They think I shouldn’t be expressing my views on this bill until they get a chance to try to sell me the language,” Stupak told CNSNews.com in an interview on Tuesday. “Well, I don’t need anyone to sell me the language. I can read it. I’ve seen it. I’ve worked with it. I know what it says. I don’t need to have a conference with the White House. I have the legislation in front of me here.”
The current version of the Senate bill contains so-called “compromise” language crafted by Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.). This language does not bar taxpayer funding of health plans that cover abortion, but does create a firewall to supposedly keep federal money from being used to pay for abortions. Over the weekend, Stupak issued a statement calling the proposed Senate language "unacceptable."
What's Obama gonna do, send some Chicago thugs over to "talk to him?"
Yeah, probably.

Something tells me the hangman is going to be very busy in a few years.
The "Language" seems simple to me...."No Abortions".
*Oh, I guess that's too friggin' simple.*
"Don't Think We're Not Keeping Score, Brother"
sounds to me like the first honest statement this idiot has uttered since taking office.
About time some honesty came from the Zerostration
