Rep. Bart Stupak, in a radio interview on the WKQS’  Mark and Walk morning show, out of Marquettte, MI, had the following bombshell to drop on the whole Health Care Bill regarding abortion.  He detailed a conversation he had with Henry Waxman (D-CA), as reported by FOX News:

“I gave him the language. He came back a little while later and said, ‘But we want to pay for abortions.’ I said, ‘Mr. Chairman, that’s — we disagree. We don’t do it now, we’re not going to start.’

“‘But we think should,’” Stupak said Waxman told him.

“I said, ‘Well, I’m sorry but the House has spoken. We had that debate. We won 240-190. You forced the vote, a vote we won fair and square and we’re not gonna, this is what it is. If you want to move health care keep current law,’” Stupak continued.

You see, no matter what The Hyde Amendment says, Waxman wants to have Federal Funding, aka, our tax dollars, to go to pay for abortions.  For those of you unfamiliar with The Hyde Amendment, here it is as presented by the ACLU.

Henry Waxman’s words to Stupak will come back to haunt the Democrats, I can assure you.  Why would any pro-Life Democrats wish to put their seal of approval and vote for such an atrocity?  While I do  not endorse nor support the Democrat Party as a whole, I do admire these Democrats who are pro-Life and who are making a stand.  At the end of the day, the unborn are being protected, and who am I to question who does it and with what method?

Oh, but wait, there’s more!  While the HC Bill in question does not repeal The Hyde Amendment, it does offer this little gem:

However, under the Senate plan, anyone who buys insurance through the exchange will see $1 of his or her premium go toward reproductive health care, including abortion. Weiner said it is not the case that abortion service providers will get any of that premium money.

Hmmm.  So, let me see if I have this right.  No Federal monies are to be used for abortions as detailed by The Hyde Amendment, but, *ahem*, there is money being taken from the proposed new insurance exchange premiums that will go to some magical abortion slush fund, even thought it doesn’t really exist…?

Check this out:

But Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., a liberal Democrat who says he wants federal funding for abortion, told Fox News that the Senate bill changes nothing about the “Hyde amendment,” which is decades-old law preventing taxpayer money from being used to pay for abortion except in cases of rape, incest or injury to the mother.

“We have the Hyde amendment that has been in place for a generation. I’m not crazy about it but it says there should be no federal funding for abortions. That’s the law as we sit here and that’ll be the law after health care passes,” Weiner said.

“What Congressman Stupak is saying is simply because an insurance policy is in that exchange somehow it’s getting federal dollars. That’s not the case. The fact is each individual person will be told that if they want to get an abortion they are not going to be able to use any subsidy, any plan that’s provided by the federal government to do that,” Weiner said.

“Congressman Stupak wants to go far beyond that and say anyone that offers insurance that is going to be in this exchange to even offer the services, it can’t even be in there, even though it gets zero federal dollars. That’s going much too far,” he said.

Now, I saw this dialogue on FOX News myself.  Rep. Weiner told Megyn Kelly himself that he and his staff hadn’t really seen the Bill to go over it.  And Rep. Weiner, you do know that The Hyde Amendment is from 1976.  It’s hardly been in place for “generations”.

Hmmm, again.
