5. The Stupak amendment is NOT the same as Hyde...

It puts restrictions on all PRIVATE plans too.

[tblue]

9. She's brilliant! Who is this?

[janx]

16. Diane DeGette--Colorado! n/t

[annabanana]

[annabanana]

[goclark]

17. Just got home, how does it look for us?

[Muttocracy]

42. I'm glad we have strong women in Congress - we shouldn't take them for granted, that's for sure! nt

[annabanana]

39. All women of a "certain age" remember the bad old days of

the back alley abortions. This amendment is a step back to those times. Makingabortion illegal again will NOT STOP ABORTIONS.. It will just result in the deaths of the most vulnerable, poor young women.

[RoccoR5955]

40. WTF is this Smith doing talking against abortion?

Can he have one? Is he a woman in drag? If not, he should just STFU!

[tridim]

41. Go to hell Christopher Smith

You're an sick man.

[annabanana]

43. Christopher Smith (R-NJ) is a piece of shit.. He has NO BUSINESS

in this debate.

[high density]

44. I really hope all of these men so worried about life are going to end the wars and the death penalty

very soon

[KoKo]

59. don't diss Marcy...she's a good one...and what she's doing is for a reason...

just saying..

[RoccoR5955]

48. Oh no, Boner's amendment!

Here it comes, the RepubliCON garbage amendment!

[annabanana]

49. Now they put up the "Substitute Bill".. ..Don't Get Sick - how long could this take?

[RoccoR5955]

50. As long as it takes Boner to shovel more bovine fecal matter! n/t

[Parker CA]

52. 30 mins per side. This vote isn't going to come before 10pm EST.

[RoccoR5955]

55. More stalling by the RepubliCONs! n/t

I had to adjust the color on my TV.

[footinmouth]

53. I keep losing the feed

What happened to the vote on the amendment? I've got weird things going on with the feed on my computer and it cut out right when they were discussing the vote. Help please!

[high density]

57. Voice vote of no won, then somebody wanted a tally

I dunno when that tally is being done.. concurrently?

[tridim]

54. What just happened to the abortion ammendment? No vote?

[Kdillard]

58. I am thinking it may have failed. Cautiously optimistic.

[RoccoR5955]

61. Don't count on it... They need the Black and Blue Dogs to vote for the main bill. n/t

[annabanana]

60. The vote will be at the end of the discussion of the "republican bill"

[tridim]

66. I think the rebuttal might be good. Stay tuned.

[BlueIdaho]

67. Dearie me - this isn't making sausage...

[KoKo]

71. I'ts what they do...depends on if it's "Tasty" at the END....

at MidNight...and then again when the Senate votes and it all comes back to the house for Mark Up in Conference in Secret.

It's good to see the Sausage Factory processing, though. Isn't it? :shrug:

[BlueIdaho]

78. Yummy!

[AlinPA]

69. If Stupak the amendment fails, it looks like no vote on the bill today (or days).

[annabanana]

73. I believe we have it with or without Stupak. . n/t

[AlinPA]

76. Earlier today he said he had 40 Democrats on his side to block the bill if

the abortion language in the bill was not changed to suit them.

[Kdillard]

74. I heard we had it even if the amendment failed but the information is sketchy.

[annabanana]
