Many Previously Pro-Choice Dems Voted for Stupak
Amendment


When I first learned that the Stupak Amendment, which would prevent abortion from
being covered under health care plans included in the health care insurance exchanges,
had passed by a 240-194 margin in the House, I assumed that something like the
following happened: anybody who was either pro-life or who disapproved of the
health care bill in general had voted for it.


Certainly, that description is apt for the half-dozen or so generally pro-choice
Republicans, all of whom voted both for the Stupak Amendement and against the
health care bill. But it doesn't really hold for the Democrats.


Rather, I was surprised at the number of Democrats who have solid pro-choice voting
records but who nevertheless voted for Stupak Amendment. And the vast majority
of these Democrats voted for, not against, passage of the underlying health care
bill.


The below chart lists the 'yea' votes on Stupak among those representatives who
had a rating of 67 in 2007-08 according to Planned Parenthood, and a rating of
33 or lower according to the National Right to Life Committee. (Note: no freshmen
representatives are listed on this chart as they have not been rated yet.)

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces.

Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams. Ashley Smith

Hoodwinked: Former Economic Hit Man John Perkins Reveals Why the World Financial Markets Imploded—and How to Remake Them

John Perkins calls himself a former
economic hit man. He has seen the signs of today’s financial meltdown before.
The subprime mortgage fiasco, the collapse of the banking industry, the rising
unemployment rate—these are all familiar to him. Perkins was on the front lines
of monitoring and helping create these very events that were once just confined
to the Third World. From 1971 to 1981, he worked for the international consulting
firm of Chas T. Main, where he was a self-described “economic hit man.” He is
the author of the New York Times bestseller Confessions of An Economic Hit Man
and The Secret History of the American Empire.
