Congressman Bart Stupak claimed to have eight pro-choice votes in his pocket. But even if it had only been the 4 that others thought he had, he would have had enough to stop ObamaCare if he hadn't caved. Needing 216 votes, Nancy Pelosi cobbled together 219 - take away the Stupak 4 and you're at 215, which is a fail.
But no, in the immortal words of Joey Tribiani - "He folded like a cheap hooker who got punched in the stomach by a fat guy with sores on his face."
Stupak could have been a hero - but he went down like all the rest.
I cannot believe he is actually pro-life; instead his actions were an attempt at political cover to show his anti-abortion constituents that he was trying to protect them. All he got was an "executive order" that cannot override the language in the Senate bill that provides federal funding for abortion.
Way to protect life, sir.
