I just had an interesting discussion with a cyber-buddy that found a particular candidate, Paul Ryan seemed to have the right stuff. She needed to find out his stance on gay rights and abortion. I tried to explain to her that at this particular time in our history some things, national security, the deficit, job creation, securing our boarders, cutting taxes, decreasing programs, and seriously cut spending to name several.
I’m wonder what her take will be when she learns that Representative Bart Stupak, and a total of 7 new no votes appear to make senate reconciliation all but impossible. Of course their issue is the Senate mandate for federal funding of abortion. May you be pro life or pro abortion, should our tax dollars fund this? Random thought while wondering why hundreds of thousands of American women choose abortion as their contraception of choice, J.C.
The health care reform bill passed by the Senate on Christmas Eve appears to be dead on arrival in the House, as seven anti-abortion Democrats intend to join the ranks of lawmakers who plan to vote against the legislation, Fox News has confirmed.
The health care reform bill passed by the Senate on Christmas Eve appears to be dead on arrival in the House, as seven anti-abortion Democrats intend to join the ranks of lawmakers who plan to vote against the legislation, Fox News has confirmed.
Seven new no votes would be enough to kill the Senate bill, and several more fence-sitting lawmakers are under pressure from both sides of the aisle.
Foremost among the seven new no votes is Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., whose anti-abortion amendment to the House version of the legislation got the bill passed in that chamber last year.
But because the Senate and House Democratic leaders weren’t able to agree on joint legislation before losing their supermajority in the Senate this year, they have few options other than getting the House to pass the Senate bill and then making changes to the law through a separate budget reconciliation bill that could pass with simple majorities.
The Senate bill, however, doesn’t contain the same language as the Stupak amendment, which explicitly prohibits federal funding of abortion in any of the reform measures intended to expand health care coverage to millions of uninsured Americans. Complete Story:
