Why Stupak Will Fold

Over at Potluck, Pundette linked to this revealing video, via The Foundry, of Stupak expressing his feelings re abortion at a town hall in Cheboygan, MI.

I had no idea…

If everything I want [is] in the final bill, I like everything in the bill except you have public funding for abortion, and we had a chance to run our amendment and we lost. OK, I voted my conscience, stayed true to my principles, stayed true to the beliefs of this district, could I vote for healthcare? Yes I still could.

Game over, man.

Is this the position of the Catholic Church?

Not according to Fr. Habiger of Human Life Intl:

It is a scandal that Catholic politicians vote for bills which fund or otherwise advance abortion. They should be named, publicly shamed and admonished so that they can cease their evil and return to God.

To vote for such a candidate is to willfully participate in that candidate’s choices and deeds. It is a sin, and must be repented.

  1. I’ve been on Stupak for a while (I’m a Michigander after all), especially since he claims to be pro-life, but really isn’t:

    There’s no such thing as a moderate Democrat, only liberal Democrats in conservative districts. Example #2,927 – Bart Stupak
    Can Pro-Life Democrats Be Trusted To Defend The Pro-Life Movement With Their Votes? Ans: No; No They Can’t
    Pro-Life Bart Stupak (D-MI) FRAUD! Will Vote For Obamcare With Abortion Coverage!!!
    Silver-Tongued Devil: Obama Tells Stupak (D-MI) He Wasn’t Talking about House Health Bill When He Told Congress ‘Our Plan’ Doesn’t Fund Abortion

  2. It’s all kabuki theater at this point.

    I don’t think Stupak really matters except that he’s their attempt at a fig leaf for anti-abortion types.

    Personally, whether they do it or not does not really depend on the finer points of the bill.

    It depends on whether a bunch of Dem congress-critters are willing to lose their cushy jobs in order to fulfill this lefty wish and whether they think the GOP will/can just repeal it after the landslide in November.
