Stupak Is As Stupak Does…

“There is nothing that would stop this president from a month from now, a year from now, 10 years from now, of repealing this executive order.”

Ten years from now? So much for Presidential term limits.

Be that as it may, many in the pro-life movement think Bart Stupak betrayed the pro-life cause with his deal. At the very least you could make a strong case he blundered, because:

1) the executive order could be, to his own admission, can be easily undone;

2) taxpayer funded abortions will in fact occur in this system, if only the ones included in the legal exceptions (e.g. for cases of rape); and

3) the $11B in funding to Community Health Centers could be, and likely will be used to subsidize abortions, as money is fungible.

Here’s to hoping Rep. Stupak knows better than we.
