Bombshell: Democrat leadership admits to Stupak they want abortions to help cut health care costs! {includes Video}

by Thomas Peters on March 12th, 2010

My jaw almost hit the floor as I read this breaking report from Rep. Bart Stupak on what he is hearing in the Democrat closed chamber meetings where he and his pro-life Democrat coalition are having “both of their arms twisted”:

What are Democratic leaders saying? “If you pass the Stupak amendment, more children will be born, and therefore it will cost us millions more. That’s one of the arguments I’ve been hearing,” Stupak says. “Money is their hang-up. Is this how we now value life in America? If money is the issue — come on, we can find room in the budget. This is life we’re talking about.” (emphasis original, underlining/bold mine)

More revelations from Stupak:

Stupak notes that his negotiations with House Democratic leaders in recent days have been revealing. “I really believe that the Democratic leadership is simply unwilling to change its stance,” he says. “Their position says that women, especially those without means available, should have their abortions covered.” The arguments they have made to him in recent deliberations, he adds, “are a pretty sad commentary on the state of the Democratic party.”

Here’s video of Stupak telling all this to Fox News just now:

Don’t believe the lies some Catholics are telling us (that this bill doesn’t siphon money to abortions) – what I quoted above is what the Democrat leadership actually wants (and believes they are getting): abortion in the health care plan as a cost-saving provision.

This mentality, this perverted goal is what Bart Stupak is trying to fight.

The question remains: which side are you on? On the side of Stupak, or the side of the Democrats quoted above?

You still have time to contact your congressmen before this legislation gets voted into law! This post contains a list of representatives in Congress who have made public statements saying they won’t vote for the bill until it includes Stupak-approved pro-life language. It would be a good start to call and encourage them! Stupak says they are severely demoralized.

Please do everything you can to help spread the word about what the Democrat leadership has just admitted to Bart Stupak: that they think if his language passes, more babies will be born. 

That means if the bill passes without Stupak language, they know more babies will die. Plain and simple.

[...] To claim that something like a Stupak Amendment was not necessary is disingenuous. And in fact, Rep. Stupak was told by Democratic leaders that abortion coverage was necessary to keep down health care [...]

In the end, he’s still a Democrat, and will support Obama. Executive order as insurance? ANY third grader knows the Executive Order can be changed back tomorrow. Not that it matters, but I’m curious as to what they promised him behind closed doors……… He’s not stupid enough to make it obvious, but what did he get?

To wtrmute,
Thank you for pointing that out. I find that on most of these blogs people forget that it is only PRO-LIFE democrats who are holding this bill up. For all intents and purposes (and I am only pointing out PRACTICALITY not ideological issues), the Republicans are not able to prevent it by themselves. Therefore TJM, rather than bad mouthing the few (and I admit they are few) truely pro-life democrats, you should be supporting and encouraging them since they are all that stands between this bill going through.

To James Reyes and like minded pro-aborts.
What is your reason for saying this blog is idiotic? I suspect its because the truth hurts, so you reply with an insult rather than a reasoned argument.

That is the problem with the pro-abortion position it dishes out insults because it is indefensible by rational, level-headed argument. It is a knee-jerk, emotional position usually motivated by politics and by a hatred of religion and moral absolutes.
