Vote "NO" or I'll send this woman to your house.

According to Bart Stupak, the leadership in the House and the Senate are pushing hard to pass Obamacare, saying, "They just want it over."  The prolife Democrat (can you use those two words in the same sentence?) had marshaled a dozen colleagues who had promised to stand their ground as long as federally funded abortion is part of the package.  He says the Democratic leadership is just ignoring him.

As reported by National Review Online, Stupak and the others are under considerable pressure.  Pray they remain strong.

Sitting in an airport, on his way home to Michigan, Rep. Bart Stupak, a pro-life Democrat, is chagrined. “They’re ignoring me,” he says, in a phone interview with National Review Online. “That’s their strategy now. The House Democratic leaders think they have the votes to pass the Senate’s without us. At this point, there is no doubt that they’ve been able to peel off one or two of my twelve. And even if they don’t have the votes, it’s been made clear to us that they won’t insert our language on the abortion issue.”

According to Stupak, that group of twelve pro-life House Democrats — the “Stupak dozen” — has privately agreed for months to vote ‘no’ on the Senate’s health-care bill if federal funding for abortion is included in the final legislative language. Now, in the debate’s final hours, Stupak says the other eleven are coming under “enormous” political pressure from both the White House and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.). “I am a definite ‘no’ vote,” he says. “I didn’t cave. The others are having both of their arms twisted, and we’re all getting pounded by our traditional Democratic supporters, like unions.”

Remember, if we lose . . . this woman is coming to your house.  You've been warned.
