Reply #15: I think this amendment is horrible. I was for this bill and still am [View All]

but Stupak had to hold it over Pelosi's head so she could get the votes. Really, I hope it comes out in conference committee.
There are many states restricting public funds going toward abortions. But this only makes it even more strict. And it sets up a two-tier system where the rich can pay for an abortion but the poor cannot. But to me, it is more about certain blue dogs in congress then the entire bill itself. And some of these blue dogs voted for that amendment and then turned around and voted against the entire health care bill. I know they are in more conservative districts. Maybe that is the best we can get from those areas. But I am very angry at those cowards today. I am torn. I think everyone here was outraged by it.
