Pro-Life Republicans Not Taking Executive Order For An Answer
Evan McMorris-Santoro | March 21, 2010, 6:55PM


Pro-life Republicans in the House expressed dismay this evening over the abortion language signed by Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) and the White House today in advance of tonight's historic health care reform vote.

At a press conference that ended a few minutes ago, Republicans eviscerated the deal -- and said that the Stupak, the man who signed it, had "broken our heart" with his decision to vote in favor of Democratic reforms.

The Republicans said that despite Democratic arguments to the contrary, the Senate-written reform bill before the House tonight will lead to publicly-funded abortion and an increase in the procedure after it is passed.

The group said that the executive order President Obama released today amounts to nothing more than an empty promise that the current ban on federal funding of abortion will be sustained after health care reform becomes law.

"We reject the political ploy that is this executive order," Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) said.

"This piece of paper is merely an illusory promise," Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) said. "It may not even stand for a week."

"We were so proud of Bart Stupak," Bachmann said, recalling the Stupak-Pitts amendment on abortion language in the House that many Republicans voted for when the House took up health care last November. (All but one Republican, including all the members at today's press conference voted against the House bill, even with the Stupak-Pitts language attached.)

"We where heartbroken when we heard Stupak would vote for {the Senate reform bill tonight}," Bachmann said.

Conservative Blogger Calls For Obama's Assassination On Twitter (Updated)

Earlier today, self-described conservative blogger Solomon "Solly" Forell posted a tweet that included a call for assassination, as well as this line: "We'll surely get over a bullet 2 Barack Obama's head!" It gets worse:

Forell then followed that tweet up with this one:

Thanks.

14. According to my tweets, the Secret Service is all over this.

And welcome to DU! :hi:

15. Thanks!!

Yes I read that the Secret Service was investigating. But seeing the screen grabs of the tweets, really shocked me. It's so blatant. All it takes is one nut/zealot. Look at T. McVeigh, and more recently the guy that flew into the IRS building in Texas.

12. Reading that Bachmann is sad is almost enough to make me go off my anti-depressants

13. Anything, and I mean anything
