What colors would those be?

What democrats have continued to show America is there is no such thing as a pro-life democrat.

Stupek was always going to vote for the legislation, regardless of the abortion language and the values he claims to hold dear. He had a chance a while ago to vote to end public funding for Planned Parenthood (the biggest performer of abortions in this country) to which he voted no. If he were truly working on principle, he would not have done so.

He was bought off. The Executive ORder means nothing because the law of the land trumps Executive order. It means nothing. It was an empty promise by Obama and Stupack knows it. He got 700K in exchange for some regional airports in his district. THAT was the sweet spot. He's a political *****, just like the rest of them. It was never about abortion.

Coward would have been more accurate.

I agree. He could have also been called "sucker" since all that Obama promised was an executive order saying that taxpayers won't fund abortions. Stupak should have held out for an actual law against taxpayer funded abortions if he was so pro-Life. Executive orders don't supercede laws. It's just a piece of paper.

But, oh well. He got what he wanted I guess. However, he is not a baby killer at all. That comment was totally uncalled for and the person who yelled it should have the guts to come out and say it publicly.
