Ellsworth wants to run as IN democrat for Senator. He is behind the anti-choice HCR

On Friday, Ms. Pelosi met twice with Democratic lawmakers from the Pro-Choice Caucus. In between, she huddled with staff members from the bishops conference, Mr. Stupak and two other leading Roman Catholic lawmakers, Representative Mike Doyle, Democrat of Pennsylvania, and Representative Brad Ellsworth, Democrat of Indiana.

The representatives of the nation’s bishops made clear they would fight the bill if there were not restrictions on abortion. In an extraordinary effort over the last 10 days, the bishops conference told priests across the country to talk about the legislation in church, mobilizing parishioners to contact Congress and to pray for the success of anti-abortion amendments.

The bishops sent out information to be “announced at all Masses” and included in parish bulletins, and urged priests and parishioners to tell House members: “Please support the Stupak Amendment that addresses essential pro-life concerns.” They added: “If these serious concerns are not addressed, the final bill should be opposed.”

if the republican is pro-choice, I'll vote for that candidate before I will vote for this man.

if the democratic party wants to make sure it loses, put this guy on the ticket for indiana. they will not win the bloomington vote if this man is the candidate.

2. hey, if he is going to be the candidate, democrats will hear PLENTY

and not just from me.

for most women I know, pro-choice is an existential issue: a question of being, as in, are women in this society considered fully human and considered adult and the possessors of their own bodies?

anti-choice advocates state this is not true.

...based upon their religious beliefs -- because there is no way that a blastocyte has consciousness as we understand it -- b/c it is a mass of undifferentiated cells. to claim that any woman should have to die to satisfy someone's fetish of female reproductive capacity because their imaginary god told them to do so is not only irrational, it is sick.

it is a non-negotiable issue because it deals with the separation of church and state. Ellsworth has already overstepped that boundary with his actions in re the Stupak amendment.

If he's a democrat, I guess I'm no longer a democrat.
