HERE THEY ARE: *Democratic* YES votes on Stupak anti-abortion amendment

[seafan]

Democrats control the House, the Senate and the White House, yet they are pushing through anti-abortion legislation that will discriminate against poor women.


Who needs Republicans when we have these people?

The bitter truth from Jon Walker at Firedoglake:

November 7, 2009 8:08 pm

.....

The Stupak amendment would effectively ban insurance companies from selling insurance plans that cover elective abortion on the individual and small group market. It would be one of the most far reaching national restriction place on abortion in decades. It could also potential be used by insurance companies to allow them to legally discriminate against low income Americans.

Abortion would be the only legal medical procedure which the bill would ban insurance companies from covering. Abortion will be the only legal medical procedure the bill will offically “ration.” By voting for the amendment 64 Democrats and all but one Republican voted to put a government bureaucrat between you, your insurance provider, and your doctor. If you choose to have an abortion, your doctor is willing to prefer the procedure, and your insurance provider is willing to pay for the procedure, this amendment will have a government bureaucrat prevent that from happening. For all the talk about small government, (these) representatives are more than happy to give the government more power as long as it is used to restrict a woman’s right to choose.

.....

This is NOT what millions voted for in November, 2008.

1. Cuellar is from a heavily-Catholic district

and has his marching orders from Bishop Tamayo....the nuns & priests have been whining about abortion for months.
