Stupak said the bill will pass with or without his amendment.
I just read the GOP is going to vote "present" on the amendment. Ha. No they didn't! I seem to recall how they spent months decrying Obama's "present" votes when he was in the Illinois Senate, which at least there are an official means of registering protest about the form of the bill. Now they are doing it themselves.

Is that correct?

7. I think we are set. From what I've seen before, I think the Stupak Amendment is going to pass. |
|
The official vote was just delayed until later. It did not already occur.

10. But I thought we didn't need it, and if we don't need it, I don't want it! |
|
I don't want women to be forced to buy "abortion insurance" in anticipation of having an abortion.
