Dems Cave/Reach Abortion Deal; 8-9 will now vote Yes
Stupak, Dems reach abortion deal; 'eight or nine' will now vote yes

Democrats have reached a deal on an executive order on abortion that could hand them a victory on healthcare.
"Eight or nine" Democrats, including Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), will announce the deal at a 4 p.m. press conference, according to an anti-abortion Democrat.
"We've changed [our votes]," said Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-Ohio).
Driehaus said he's seen the executive order and can now vote for the healthcare bill. He said Stupak has signed off, as well.
Driehaus made his remarks just a few moments ago in the Speaker's Lobby. He said the group of "eight or nine" Democrats -- including Stupak -- who had been withholding their votes plans to announce the deal at 4 p.m. in the House Radio/TV gallery.

As a Catholic I support this reform because we must have it and its my responsibility to live my conscience on abortion. Pass it!BY Jody from Flint on 03/21/2010 at 15:42
Stupak is SUCH a sell-out! Hey Bart, do you realize that executive orders are temporary and this law is PERMANENT??? You have no spine. What a disgrace.BY jeff on 03/21/2010 at 15:43

This should definitely clinch it for the Dems. That is unless other pro-abortion Dems turn no as a result. PoliticalCentrist.com, News and views for independent votersBY Politicalcentrist on 03/21/2010 at 15:46

Nullification!!!!!
The more of this crap that they pass, the easier it will be to get the States to stand up to these corrupt losers and the easier it will be to give them ALL the boot. Except the good Doctor, of course.
