Democrats Deliver for Planned Parenthood
The anguish of Bart Stupak and other pro-Life Democrats has been evident for weeks. He finally cracked this afternoon. Begging for some kind of exit door to escape his great moral test, Stupak cried out to his leader, Barack Obama. The President reached down to offer the poor guy a fig leaf with golden presidential seal – The Executive Order to Nowhere.
“I have a deal!” cried the broken Stupak, surrounded by his rescued “pro-Life” colleagues, who gave themselves permission to hide behind the president’s worthless scrip and return to their pews as members-in-good-standing of the Church of Liberalism. With their votes, and only with their votes, Speaker Pelosi was able to drive House Democrats into accepting the Senate version of ObamaCare.
To solidify his re-entry into the Party of Death, Stupak even took to the House floor tonight to proclaim that it was the Democratic Party that stood for life – from conception to natural death. His fellow religionists heartily applauded his public confession of self-delusion. Utterly unbelievable and utterly tragic: Stupak has traded his long public service, all the months of struggle around abortion expansion in ObamaCare, to eat a bowl of porridge at a backbench in the Democrat Party’s celebration feast.
The applause from his betrayers is already over, but Stupak will have a lifetime to reconcile himself to his failure. You may be sure that he will never be the same.
But enough of Bart Stupak.
The real tragedy here is the greater number of preborn children killed through abortion. Close behind is the forced remaking of America into a coarser, less noble place, in which we have taken a huge stride toward becoming supplicants of the state.
This legislation is, in effect, the Abortion Lobby’s greatest “accomplishment” since they bullied the Supreme Court into legalizing feticide. Given the huge public subsidies involved for Planned Parenthood and other practitioners of child-slaughter, it is not surprising that they have set-aside the Freedom of Choice Act in order to concentrate on the huge public money on the table with ObamaCare.
Certainly the battle over nationalized health care is not over with tonight’s vote by Pelosi’s Congress. This drama will play out over many election cycles, and through many court cases.
But it sure has been a painful day to witness.

The Obamacare vote shows why "Pro-Life" Democrats can't be trusted.
