The Moral Majority


In case you missed it, Bart Stupak is a Congressman from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Stupak is strongly anti-abortion – so anti-abortion, in fact, that he was perfectly willing to let 30 million Americans live without health insurance, and tens of thousands die because of that every year, unless the Health Care Reform bill stated up one side and down the other that no government funds would be used for abortions (a point of settled law, by the way).

And when he got that, he still would not vote for it until Obama agreed to issue an Executive Order that no federal funds would be used for abortions. So you'd think that might cover things with the anti-abortion crowd, wouldn't you? Wrong.

It's really time for the "pro-life" crowd to rethink their strategy.

Yes. How can people who claim to be "pro life" support threatening to kill a man? If one does not see the contradiction ... You know, I live in Stupak's district, the U.P. of Michigan. A woman can not get an abortion here - has to travel, I believe, as least as far south as Green Bay. The last doctor to perform abortions in the U.P. lived with constant death threats to himself and his family. Yes - pro-lifers threatening kids. Figure it out. This is a scary group of people.
