Stupak: White House Pressuring Me to Keep Quiet on Abortion Language in Senate Health Bill

CNS News: They think I shouldnt be expressing my views on this bill until they get a chance to try to sell me the language. Well, I dont need anyone to sell me the language. I can read it. Ive seen it. Ive worked with it. I know what it says. I dont need to have a conference with the White House. I have the legislation in front of me here.

@morse03 Oh, brother.Another zealot who believe everyone should adapt to their way of thinking, adopt their beliefs, their religion, their mindset of suffer some sort of consequences. Millions of fertilized ova are frozen solid - all over the world..millions more are destroyed every year. A "fetus" isn't a baby, you nitwit. If you don't like abortion, don't have one. But a woman's body belongs to her alone and only SHE can make decisions about it.

@172677, A moral position doesn't enter into the equation? You consider an abortion to be a "medical procedure"? To deny the fetus, " all men are created equally", the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is against the Constitution of the U.S. Abortion shouldn't be legal,,period..and anyone that undergoes the procedure should be forced to undergo a complete hysterectomy If you are unwilling to live with the result of your choices, those liberties should be stripped of you..

STUPAK IS A TOTAL LYING PIECE OF CRAP

[beancube2010]

Drawing lines for eternity is barbaric. Abortion is wrong some times but barbarically oppressing women is wrong all the time. People have rights to access and filter out attempts of abortion rationally by themselves. Social stigma and economy pressure caused abortion must be resolved with assistance so people can really be pro-life instead of being raped continuously in public by orthodoxy languages. We must trust humanity or our rights to our own natural intelligence be stolen by barbarianism.

[172677]

It doesn't matter anyway. The abortion issue will be resolved in Committee and it will be put back in.

You can't deny anyone a legal medical procedure....period....and abortion is legal.

A moral position doesn't enter into the equation.

I hope he doesn't sell out like Ben Nelson. He "felt strongly about this issue" too. HE WAS BOUGHT. After all, he is a DEMOCRAT!

[RightKnight]

He'll cave. All the Democrats were bribed or bullied to surrender their principles and so will Stupak and other so-called Blue Dog Democrats.
