Darcy Burner, the leader of the Progressive Caucus Policy Foundation says
that if the Stupak amendment passes, progressives should vote down the
health care bill in the House.
Burner: It means that women who find they have cancer while they are
pregnant won't get the choice of how to proceed, but those choices will
instead be made by politicians in Washington, DC whose lives aren't the ones
who are being destroyed. The idea that we would throw women under the bus in
the process of doing health care reform is completely unacceptable.

Now the word I'm hearing is that the Senate is more progressive than the
House on this issue and the belief is that it will come back from the
conference committee without the Stupak amendment included.
If the bill that comes back from conference does have the Stupak amendment,
then organizing will be huge.

Outrageous end run on Roe v. Wade..Oh, but the old coots in Congress still
get their VIAGRA!!!
Again I say, haven't the anti-abortion people have ever considered the
possibility that women with guaranteed healthcare for their children, as
well as for themselves, would be less likely to abort.
Seems like common sense to me. |
