Spineless Stupakers?
Sources say the Stupak 12 are still in negotiations with Pelosi to place language restricting the use of federal funding for abortions into the "deem and pass" lesgislation. The Stupakers said they want a "committment to act letter" as any deal involving future legislation would require them to trust that the House and Senate would both act to ban abortion funding. Of course, even with this letter, these legislators understand that the Senate will not act even if they all say they will. So in effect, they are going through the motions to cover their - pardon my French - asses. If they agree to this, I hope all 12 are held accountable in November as the individual polls in their more conservative districts all indicate their constituents are opposed to this bill.
