Defender of Life? Not quite. "These Democrats chose a last minute fig leaf rather than standing up for the pro-life American majority." -- Marjorie Dannenfelser
Kathleen Parker [click to read] in Jewish World Review has some pretty clear thoughts on the fall of Stupak. Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of Susan B. Anthony List has announced that Stupak will not receive the 'Defender of Life' award. Many of us were feeling betrayed and confused by Stupak's changing his vote for the promise of an executive order. Indeed there is little an executive order does to guarantee government dollars don't fund abortion.
The rescinding of the award is deserved. Now Phil [click to read] discusses the 'Stupek Stipend.' Now it is becoming likely that Stupak was PAID for his vote.
"Stupak's clumsy fall from grace is a lesson in human frailty. In a matter of hours, he went from representing the majority of Americans who don't want public money spent on abortion to leading the army on the other side.
Something must have gone bump in the night."
"After the Sunday vote, a group of Democrats, including Stupak, gathered in a pub to celebrate. In a biblical moment, New York Rep. Anthony Weiner was spotted planting a big kiss on Stupak's cheek.
To a Catholic man well versed in the Gospel, this is not a comforting gesture." -- Kathleen Parker
Here is the 'Stand with Stupak' Video [click to watch] that Ms. Parker references.
Pro-Life American Majority Locked Out [click to read].
"Today's decision to sign the Executive Order behind closed doors reveals much about the seriousness of this President and Democrats' commitment to keep abortion funding out of the healthcare legislation. If the Executive Order solution were real, then the signing ceremony would have to be on the White House lawn--somewhere big enough to fit the massive, bipartisan consensus.
The abortion issue was the pivot point for the passage or failure of the entire bill. These Democrats chose a last minute fig leaf rather than standing up for the pro-life American majority. This pro-abortion president and his enablers who call themselves 'pro-life' want this issue to go away fast. But they will not keep the newly enlivened, vastly larger pro-life movement at bay, despite the President's promises that all will be forgotten by November. The Susan B. Anthony List is hard at work with daily reminders. Votes have consequences and for the pro-life betrayers, it will be a quick downhill slide to defeat in November. "Just four days ago, the Susan B. Anthony List was preparing to defend 'pro-life' Democrats, like Rep. Bart Stupak, in primary and general elections. In the coming weeks, instead, we will be examining the districts where we can elect a strong pro-life representative who will not crack under pressure." -- Marjorie Dannenfelser
