Why is the Stupak amendment even necessary?
Doesn't the Hyde Amendment already settle that issue?

8. Why? Because Roe vs. Wade still stands as law and they want to overturn it entirely.
I can think of no other reason, because they just keep chipping away at it relentlessly.

9. Yes. They are using health care reform as an excuse to attempt to restrict access.
