Ann Neumann didn’t like yesterday’s post on the Stupak Amendment.  Complaining about my lack of compromise.  Sorry, when it comes to the sanctity of life, I don’t compromise.  She notes:

There is no compromise when your work is to eliminate the most common medical procedure for women in the US.

When abortion is [...]

House Health Care Bill Passes; Democrats Celebrate Their Demise

I wasn’t able to watch any of the debate yesterday on HR 3962, the House version of the health care reform bill.  I was kind of busy.  I did see the final result with it passing 220 to 215 in a late night session.

Pelosi Health Care Bill to Directly Fund Abortion

Oh, I know… President Obama said that it wouldn’t happen.

But apparently Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats weren’t listening to President Obama, because surely he was telling the truth… so it must be an act of defiance because in this 1900 page monstrosity of a bill it’s in there:
