41 Democrats Sign Letter Stating They Will Not Vote for Conference Bill Containing Stupak Amendment
Ah... okay. But they also said they wouldn't vote for a bill that didn't contain abortion-funding, and they just did that.
Ultimately they will pass the bill without the amendment and the supposed pro-life Democrats will just say "We don't need to deal with this yet, it will be years before the plan is actually implemented, we will work on improving the bill until then." And then they won't. Or they'll take a bunch of votes that go nowhere, just to get it on the record "they tried."Susan Collins Opposes: She finds the Stupak language too tough for her liking and prefers some kind of convoluted dodge that ultimately allows fungible dollars to be used for abortions.

Heh.
If you put a frog in lukewarm water, and then gradually turn up the temperature to boiling, the frog won't sense the danger, and will eventually be cooked to death, or so the metaphor goes. Throw a frog into boiling water, and it will jump out immediately, rather than be scalded.
People tend to react the same way to new demands by the government. If new powers and restrictions are introduced gradually, they'll get used to each one so that the next one seems no big deal.
In this case, we're being tossed into boiling water. It's time for Americans of left, right, and center to say that this is not the economic system we want. If you still have warm feelings toward Obama and his good intentions, ask yourself this: Will you feel comfortable one day when the appointees of President Romney or President Palin are exercising unconstitutional, unauthorized, unreviewable authority to restructure the economy the way they see fit?

Dear Representative:
On behalf of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB),
we strongly urge you to vote for the
Stupak-Ellsworth-Pitts-Kaptur-Dahlkemper-Lipinski-Smith Amendment and
to support a fair process in the House of Representatives to consider
this essential improvement in health care reform legislation. The
Stupak-Ellsworth-Pitts-Kaptur-Dahlkemper-Lipinski-Smith Amendment will
keep in place current federal law on abortion funding and conscience
protections in the Affordable Health Care for America Act (H.R. 3962).
Despite some claims to the contrary, H.R. 3962 does not reflect the
status quo on abortion. It fails to explicitly and clearly include the
longstanding policy prohibiting federal funding of elective abortion
and plans which include elective abortion (Hyde Amendment). Medicaid,
Medicare, Children�s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and other federal
health legislation include this provision. Currently H.R. 3962 has some
helpful provisions on conscience protection and non- preemption of
state laws, but it utterly fails to maintain current prohibitions on
abortion mandates and abortion funding. Instead it creates elaborate
measures requiring people to pay for other people's abortions with
their taxes, private premiums or federal subsidies. Significantly, the
Federal Employee Heath Benefit Program, which covers all members of
Congress and their families, has long been governed by the Hyde
amendment in all its aspects and is widely seen as a model for reform.
Additionally, H.R. 3962 allows the U.S. Secretary of Health and
Human Services to mandate that the "public option" will include
unlimited abortions. Millions of purchasers will be forced to pay an
"abortion surcharge," which requires purchasers of many plans to pay
directly and explicitly for abortion coverage. This is unprecedented in
federal law.
The Stupak-Ellsworth-Pitts-Kaptur-Dahlkemper-Lipinski-Smith Amendment
will not affect coverage of abortion in non-subsidized health plans,
and will not bar anyone from purchasing a supplemental abortion policy
with their own funds. Thus far, H.R. 3962 does not meet President
Obama's commitment of barring use of federal dollars for abortion and
maintaining current conscience laws.
If the Motion to Recommit focuses on denying immigrants needed health
care, as reported, we strongly urge Members to oppose the Motion to
Recommit.
Our Bishops' conference has been working for many years to support
health care reform legislation that truly protects the life, dignity,
health and consciences of all. Adopting this amendment will help move
us move toward this essential national priority and moral imperative.
Sincerely,
Bishop William Murphy
Diocese of Rockville Centre,
Chairman, Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development

The idea is to pass something. The Repubs even if they take back congress will never be able to get rid of it because they haven't had 60 votes in the Senate for over 100 years.
When the Dems are back in power they and incrementally tighten it down until the government totally controls all health care.
That has been the intention all along. Not single payer, not competition, and certainly not health insurance.
It is the complete nationalization of all health care which will then be used as a club to control everyone's lives and nationalize other industry.

Ridiculous. Ed Morrissey is wrong, wrong, wrong: "Voting to approve the Stupak amendment was a moment where strategy and principle converged. It was not only a good tactic, it was the right thing to do."
The GOP needed to make the Demotards own this bill 100%. The Dems can make all the promises they want, they never keep them. The idea that Stupak was a way to blunt Hellcare represents the folly of single-issue politics as well as refusal to acknowledge the tactical feints of the libtards.

in St. Louis. The White House, through SEIU, did indeed ‘punch back
twice as hard.’ What is ambiguous, however, is why prosecutors haven’t
pursued the charges against SEIU. As you will learn, there is a lot to
suggest that Bob McCulloch, the St. Louis DA, is trying to cover-up
SEIU’s crime. Stay tuned as the truth comes out."

OH it doesn't matter, everyone I know who is in a union complains constantly about the money the union takes out of their paycheck. Theya re complaining now that there paychecks are less than they were years ago cause of all the union "dues" taken out. I always ask them when they rae going to realize that the raise the union gets them isn't a raise if the union takes it. They just don't get it.

A Whamko bra
Posted by: Jean at November 09, 2009 04:23 PM (vb5IK)

It's kinda fascinating.
Unfortunately, many ethnic groups
in East Asia have a genetic constitution that codes for a relative
lack of body hair growth
as compared to Caucasians and they have
only limited pubic terminal hair. Whilst both men and women
in these ethnic groups have a lack of pubic hair growth,
the social pressure is mostly focused on women. Some women
suffer psychologic distress and have a low self-esteem
due to a lack of pubic hair growth.
This "condition" may cause them shame and decrease
their chances of attaining a happy and successful marriage due
to the potential
husbands’ suspicious ideas. For Japanese women it can also
be an issue in public baths and hot springs where nude bathing
is acceptable, but "morally questionable" patrons are
barred. Correction of this "problem" can
be achieved either by hair transplantation or sometimes by grafting
larger sections of skin containing hair to the
region of the pubis.

Heh, one of the surgeons I work with has been to Japan several times. He said he was really struck by how flat chested the women are and how crooked their teeth are. He said he could make a mint if he started a practice that was dedicated to ameliorating these two problems. He wasn't sure whether it was better to call it "Tits and Teeth" or "Breasts and Braces".
Basically, this bra is just a wonder bra with an air pump. Those Japanese are really good at taking someone elses idea and taking it to the next level. Hence their success in the automobile and electronics industries.

Yes; in fact if you think about it, it is a means to guarantee a permanent majority. Once the citizen is beholden to gubmint for his very medicine and medical treatment, he will not dare jeopardized that guarantee. There is a very good reason Medicare has never shrunk or been privatized. After the entire nation is putatively on Medicare, every attempt to scale it back will be "denying you medicine."

@27 Spare me. You convince the lefty gay bishops in the USCCB that the health care bill will promote "social justice" and they will cave. Some will hold strong but most will cave. They love the idea of redistribution too--they do not grasp the idea that if the US goes down so does all of its aid around the world--I quit giving to the church and give directly to places like Fisher house because the bishops adore illegal aliens, living wage, the US as the bad guy (Hiroshima), redistribution, etc.

Incorrect.
The Senate may well pass someversion of a healthcare bill to keep the process alive. And once the bill is in the conference committee, the subject of this conversation will be very germane.

"WHAT? Thats the silliest thing I ever read. Why would a woman give a damn about not having pubic hair?"
If you think that's bad, it gets worse.
The Japanese have a thing about displaying armpit hair in public.
It's very bad. When I was stationed in Japan, we were forbidden to wear sleeveless shirts off base because we would offend the locals.
While I was there, I watched an American made movie edited for Japanese viewers. It had full frontal nudity, even some pubic hair, but whenever armpit hair came up, the editors blocked it out.
The Japanese can be weird.
Don't even ask me about their porn.

I honestly think these 3 idiots were of the "we can change the world" naive, politically correct, libtard persuasion. I don't think they accidentally wandered over the border, I think they went there on purpose. It's too bad they are going to learn from firsthand experience that the world is a scary place full of really bad people that you can't engage in dialogue with. How long will it be before Jimmy Carter flies over there and unsuccessfully tries to negotiate their release?

Ace:
1) It was easier for the pro-choice Democrats in the House to vote for a bill with the Stupak Amendment in it than it will be for the pro-life Democrats in the House to vote for a conference report without it. That's because the pro-choice Dems knew that the conference committee would strip out the pro-life language, given that it offends too many Democrat Party special interests. When the conference report comes out without the Stupak Amendment, there won't be any second chance for the pro-life Dems to get that language back in unless they kill the bill and cause the process to start over.
2) The issue of Federal funding for abortion in Obamacare is a huge issue because of its impact on the Hyde Amendment. This becomes a way to invalidate Federal restrictions on abortion funding across the board, arguably leading to increased demand for abortion (since it'll be "free"). If the Stupak Amendment remains intact, then women will still have access to abortion on the same basis as they currently do. On that basis, the pro-life Democrats have a lot more to lose than the pro-choice ones have to gain.

Not sure runningrn. The way the house works, Pelosi probably would not have put the bill up for a vote unless she knew she had the number. Her real challenge was in deciding who could be cut loose (in other words, vote no) and who had to bite the bullet.
The problem is, we will never know. However, my base instinct is that it would have passed, but instead of 220-215 it is 218-217.

The book on which it was based Ghost Soldiers by Hampton Sides was so much better than the movie. One of my most prized possessions is a letter I got from Robert Prince (who led the raid on the Cabanatuan prison camp and rescued everyone with only one casulty, the platoon's doctor). I had read Ghost Soldiers and sent him a letter thanking him for his service (his address was in the phonebook). He had moved, the post office forwarded my letter, and he actually wrote me back. He said that it was such an amazing thing to be a part of a mission where he was saving lives instead of taking them, a true rarity during war. It was soo cool. Sadly, he passed away this past January.

Posted by: Tweet beats dead horses at November 09, 2009 04:41 PM (cjsuZ)
Frogs don't sit in pots of water calmly waiting to be boiled to death. They jump out when the water becomes uncomfortably warm.
However, human beings do acclimate to small changes and make them part of their own psychological make-up. That was a technique the Chinese used to great effect in "brainwashing" American prisoners during the Korean War. The captors would hold an essay contest on the topic of why Communism is better thancapitalism,with the prize of a cigarette. The prisoners would generally write something to the effect of "screw you," but there'd be the one guy who'd write, "in general, screw you, although it is a little unfair that some folks in America are so poor."
That little admission was the crack into which the captors inserted the wedge. They would solicit similarly small tokens of cooperation with similarly small rewards, which the prisoner could easily justify as no big deal. But over time, his internal image would change, and he would start to see his captors as not so bad and helping them as not such a despicable thing to do.
That is why the frog-in-the-pot analogy is appropriate to the current climate in America. Look at Social Security: it's so deeply ingrained that most Americans across the political spectrum think that privatizing it -- letting them keep their own money to earn a much better retirement for themselves -- is somehow un-American. The changes become ingrained and reversing them becomes an act of revolution.

Ok, telling you now, just like I did about the house bill, BO wants this done before Christmas and it will be done way before Christmas. So when the senate votes it in, don't want you to be surprised. The scary part will be when they merge the two bills, the Senate bill will be but a memory.

Yes, I did. I just ran up and got it.
"Thank you for your kind letter. I moved from Kirkland to P.T. to be near my son and family but Kirkland was wonderful. We had a wonderful lake and mountain view." (He use to live in the same town as me)
"The event over 60 years ago was truly a most satisfying event. To release 500+ POW's and return them to safety was a great joy. It is a rare event in any war to save lives instead of just taking them. Thank you again."
Sincerely,
Bob Prince
Like I said, it is one of my prized possesions, and if we had a fire, it would be one of those things I'd try to save before I left the house. It's hanging up in my craft room, and every now and then I read it. The thing with "The Greatest Generation" is they just did what they were called to do and didn't make a big production or fuss, much like our military today. He really was an understated, modest man, and you can really see that. In his acknowledgements of Ghost Soldiers, Hampton Sides says this about Prince: "Robert Prince especially went out of his way to privide details and documents. I thank him for sharing his unpublished memoirs and for hosting a meeting with several other Rangers from the Seattle area."
When he passed away, James Vesely, Seattle Times Editorial Page Editorwrote thiscolumn about him.
"...Prince had been inducted into the Ranger Hall of Fame at Fort Bening, GA. The black beret was his--before incoming Veterans Affairs Secretary, Gen. Eric Shinseki took the black beret away from the Rangers and distributed it to the whole army...Prince was a Garfield grad and a Stanford grad, although he told me in later years he had drifted away from Stanford "because of its politics.
Yet nothing about the mild-mannered man sitting in a Kirkland living room gave hint to the determination and ferocity that must have guided him those days and nights living on the edge of valor or sorrow.
...No matter, it comes back to Bob Prince. How did America produce such men? They are still working their jobs in the Rangers and the infantry, stil in the Marines and flying the aircrews, but Prince was that mystery of the accidental soldier who accounted for great things.
A man who spent his life marketing Washington apples and raising a family was not a killer for a moment, but a ptriotfor all time. Time was the thing that brought him to WWII...Prince lost a son in Vietnam. Others have lost sons and daughters in Iraq, Afghanistan and who knows what other hellholes. The hero of his time endures.
(sorry to be so o/t!)

The Hyde amendment passed with the Rino sisters there, so will this.
There are more than enough Dem Senators to insure an amendment similar to Stupak's will be in the Seante bill.
And will you forget about Cao already?
He held hsi vote till it passed. had he been 218 he would have vote No for sure or there would have been no point in him waiting to vote.

Byron York said that the Republicans had made a "deal" with the pro-life Dems and if they had not voted for the amendment it would have been breaking their word.
As for Coulter on Cau, she didn't say anything I didn't say after the vote. The only thing his vote did was allow another "worried" Dem to vote against it and he got 1.2 billion in loan forgiveness for it.

Meanwhile Michael Steel claims some Republicans fear him as a black man. Check it out at Hot Air.
Michael, Michael, Michael.
They are not afraid of you because you are a scary black man. You are not a scary black man. That is a stupid stereotype anyway. And it is obvious you are a nice guy. No one is afraid of you.
That is part of the problem.
Conservatives would feel better if the left feared you. Not for being a scary black man, but for being a committed Republican and conservative who was moving the party forward and putting the liberal adgenda in jeopardy. Rahm Emanuel is a little yap dog of a man, harmless physically, but people fear him because he is a scary political infighter.

I know everybody is getting all wee-wee'd up on this Stupak bill, but it just doesn't matter.
If there is govt health care in any form, it will be administratively funded based on who holds the executive office, just like the "mexico city policy". You think pro-abortion sympathizers in the govt aren't going to pay based on some amendment to a 2,000 page bill? It will just be called womens reproductive services or some other orwellian name.
Stupak or not, liberal administrations will fund abortions. Repeat with me now:
It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter.

The Hyde Amendment blocks the executive from doing that with Medicaid dollars.
The Stupak-Pitts amendment is making the same attempt with Pelosicare. The Executive won't be able to just employ administrative accounting to direct funds to pay for or subsidize election abortion.

In some ways. "Comprehensive Sex Education" delivers tax payer dollars to PP. Free condoms and sex ed programs are a couple of ways PP operates subsidized programs that they only marginally fund with private money. This is through existing law.
Stupak-Pitts takes similar language in the Hyde Amendment and applies it to the new law that Pelosicare creates and amends. It ties the hands of the executive branch that would operate Pelosicare.
There's a huge cash cow out there that Planned Parenthood is exploiting. It is an "inventory fee" they bill to the Veterans Affairs Department for holding birth control prescription drugs. The VA is one of the largest buyers of prescription drugs so they obtain preferred pricing. PP is able to purchase some birth control prescription drugs for $2, but they are billing the VA for $18. They're using discretionary powers of the Health and Human Services Secretary to book this $16 profit. They're getting it at the state level. California is the largest culprit. PP actually bills the VA $16 to keep an inventory of these birth control drugs. It's odd because shouldn't PP pay for the inventory costs?
PP California fired the Finance VP when he started asking questions about this. It's one of the most unreported news stories of the last two years. It's big to me, but I'm anti-abortion and I want abortion supporters to pay for their choices with their own money and leave the public treasuries out of it.

all the ghey-ass comments about purity are beside the point. Unless there is actual proof (no matter how scant, but more than speculation) that the loss of Stupak would have doomed the bill, you're engaging in a ciurcular firing squad for no reason. The REAL purity folks would mercilessly attack any semi-squish (y know, the ones you eminent pragmatists are fellating) in a primary if they failed to vote for it. That is reality. The fauiilure of Pelosicare without Stupak, unless you have a whip count, is pure fantasy.
You morons are embracing an oxymoron : extreme pragmatism
defined as the inability to abide a principled vote when amoral political calculation was possible.
It's beyond idiotic (beyond parody really) for you all to insist that people stand their ground and die for symbolic pragmatism.

It doesn't matter what they say. If anything they do looks bad in the future, they will just lie and say they didn't do it, and it will be Bushs fault and the crazy right wingers creating divisiveness.

It appears that the Stupak amendment is pretty close to a killer amendment.
Currently, women can purchase supplemental coverage for abortion services from a private insurer. Under the House Bill + Stupak, they cannot. Phillip Klein, writing for the American Spectator, makes the case:
Currently, women are able to purchase private health care plans
that cover abortion because it remains a legal procedure and we
still have a private market for the sale of health insurance. But
if the House Democratic health care bill becomes law, individuals
will only be allowed to purchase health insurance through a
government-run exchange. And because millions of Americans will
be using government subsidies to purchase insurance through the
exchange, suddenly lawmakers get to have a say on what kind of
private insurance policies individuals can purchase. In addition,
the federal government would be directly operating one of the
plans, known as the “public option.”
In other words, women seeking abortions, under the terms of the House bill, would have to pay for abortions out of their own pocket.

154 - I disagree with that assessment. Under Stupak, the public option plan cannot cover abortions and any plan purchased with federal subsidies cannot cover abortions. That's it. Unless people are forbidden from purchasing plans that aren't: public plan or subsidized plan, anybody can buy (with their own money) an "abortion coverage" policy. Might only cost a few bucks a month, maybe not even that much, but nothing in Stupak forbids it - UNLESS the government forbids people on the public option or who use subsidies from buying additional insurance with their own money, which the Stupak amendment doesn't do.

The way Klein reads it, all health-care coverage will be purchased through a government-run exchange. The "Cadillac" plans (those without a government subsidy) will be taxed heavily, pricing them out of the reach of most Americans. Small businesses would shift their insurance coverage to the subsidized plans, where Stupak would take effect. No wonder abortions-for-profit like Planned Parenthood hate Stupak.

Because there is no guarantee that Stupak will survive reconciliation. It will most likely be stripped out in committee. There is no way Obama is going to sign a bill with Stupak in it. All those women who now have abortion in their health care plans will, if they are forced onto the government option or a government-subsidized option, be forced to pay for their own abortions.
Or to look at it from another direction, women want to be able to chose a plan with abortion in it. If they think that they have to chose between ObamaCare and having a health care plan that allows abortions, they'll select against ObamaCare.

158 - That's fine, but all the Dems need to do if they truly are "in control" is to allow one exchange plan to offer a supplemental policy - paid for without any government subsidy - to cover abortion at, say, $1 per month premium. Anybody who wants can buy it, but they can't use a subsidy to do so. Nothing in Stupak forbids that.
The reason the Dems don't want that is because they intend for the government plan to be the only option, without exception for anyone, and Planned Parenthood won't be happy if it doesn't pay for abortions.

Yeah, you're right, Flensy. When it passes in the Senate with Stupak providing cover for Senate Dems, you can say, "Ah, relax, the House Dems said they won't vote for it. Even though they already did."

163 -
Who knows what will come out of reconcilliation, but I'd bet that anything that is non-government subsidized will be taxed heavily - and that includes supplementals. The Dems are going to tear themselves apart on Stupak because Stupak is now the line in the sand. The UCCB has made it clear that removal of Stupak is non-negotiable. Every pro-life now has a focus point because of Stupak. The Blue Dogs Dems are now on the hook They can pay now or pay later in Novenber, 2010. And with the relaxed amendment process in the Senate, the Republicans will have numerous opportunities to make 11-2010 very painful for anyone supporting ObamaCare.
How badly does the Left want health care "reform" to pass? Would the Left be willing to kill a bill that does not have a "public" option and includes Stupak language in the legislation?

165 - That's all true (and I agree with all of it). But if the Dems are truly in charge of the entire process, including impementation of the bill, why couldn't they just heavily tax all supplemental insurance except for abortion coverage? I don't think pro-lifers would have a problem (at least I wouldn't) if the added coverage plan cost $5 per year (which is all it should cost, probably) as long as the money was paid for by the insured and not by my tax dollars.
PP doesn't want that because they want abortion to be "free" and they are afraid that, even if you have to pay $1 per year extra and sign another form for it, not enough people will sign up for it and PP's business model will suffer.

Nope, they won't manage to pass the bill w/o the amendment.
Look, who do you think wants government run health care more, pro-choicers or pro-lifers? Since pro-choicers are more left wing, I say it's them.
Therefore, they're the ones most likely to cave.

1) What's the big deal with paying for liberals to get abortions? Personally, I think we should give all liberals abortion-on-demand and five dollars from Crime Stop afterwards.
2) Libscum lie. Its what they do. It's who they are. Anybody else remember the hair-pulling and gnashing of teeth after The Obamunist tricked Hitlery out of their party's nomination? Remember how many of them SWORE they would never vote for The Obamunist?
Right.
They'll vote for it whether it has the Stupak amendment in it or not. Period. Because --
3) There's always the Court System. Trust me, if abortions are excluded it will take about ten minutes before the libsum have it in Court. They'll Judge-shop and make sure they get it in front of a libscum Judge who will strike the amendment because it doesn't provide the same opportunity for libscum to murder their own children as private plans do.
4) Too many Republicans are just simply lazy andintellectual cowards. They get tricked and taken to the cleaners by libscum almost every time because of it.
I expct nothing less this time around.

Things could be worse.
Has the immigration problem been solved in the House Democratic Caucus? That's round three of the Dem intraparty civil war on Pelosicare.
In other words, women seeking abortions, under the terms of the House
bill, would have to pay for abortions out of their own pocket.
With Stupak in Pelosicare, the prochoice caucus is under heavy pressure to vote against their signature issue - healthcare. How are they going to vote for a bill that bans funding for elective abortion if the prochoice caucus believes in the mythology that "reproductive coverage is basic care"?
It's doom for Pelosicare.
