As usual a majority of democrats, duly elected by the voters in their respective States,  want to limit the number of live births by  INCLUDING  an amendment to remove the abortion funding from the so called "Health Care bill" which is being pieced together one day at a time.  It isn't very pretty..

The House version of the health care bill, HR 3200, currently says that the federal government will pay for abortions under the plan.

To the rescue comes Michigan's best kept secret, Pro-Life Rep. Bart Stupak (D Michigan) who says  he will sponsor an amendment on the House floor to change that, similar to the one members of a House panel defeated. Unfortunately the House Democrats won't allow it.

Pro-Abortion Rep. Louise Slaughter, who's last name says it all, stated there won't be many changes to the three versions of the bill that the House panels each approved.

Pro-Life advocates in the House expect the Rules Committee to adopt rules for debate that prevent Stupak's amendment from getting a vote.

As Douglas Johnson, the legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee, has been quoted by  LifeNews.com, that the Pro-Abortion democrats could open the floodgates for pro-life and moderate Democrats to join Republicans in voting against the rules for debate.

Pro-Life advocate Speaker Nancy Pelosi has teamed up with  Rules Committee Chair Slaughter, Congressman Henry Waxman, and the other top pro-abortion Democrats have embedded language in H.R. 3200 that would explicitly authorize the big new government insurance plan to pay for abortion on demand, and that would authorize big new federal subsidies for private plans that cover elective abortion," Johnson explained.

"Slaughter now announces that the 'rule' that her committee will craft will not even allow the House vote on the NRLC-backed Stupak-Pitts Amendment, the amendment that would keep abortion out of these big new federal programs," he said.

"Congressman Stupak has already announced that if the rule does not permit his amendment, he will lead other pro-life Democrats in voting against the rule -- which is the procedural bridge that the bill must pass to reach the House floor," Johnson added.

Johnson told LifeNews.com that pro-life groups will score votes on the rule for debate if it disallows the Stupak amendment because it would essentially cement abortion funding in the bill.

"Any House member who votes for the rule is, in effect, voting in favor of establishing a giant federal health plan that will pay abortionists with checks drawn on a federal government account," Johnson concluded.

Slaughter said members of the House staff have already begun working on melding the three committee bills together into the one piece of legislation members will consider when they return on September 8.
