PELOSI DROPS ANTI-ABORTION POSITION

At the last moment and in order to pass the House version of the Health Care Bills, Nancy Pelosi last fall allowed Bart Stupak to add an amendment against public funding of abortions. She has now said that she is abandoning that amendment and that she is willing to go for the Senate version which does not contain a provision against public funding of abortions. Congressional leaders are hoping they can find enough support from other wavering Democrats to pass legislation that only cleared the House by five votes in an earlier incarnation.

COMMENTS:
And she wants Representatives to rely on HER promise and Reid’s promise to pass a new bill after the first one is passed, to include a provision explicitly against public funding of abortion? Yeah, right. But, it should be remembered that she was openly crowing Saturday that they have enough votes to pass the Senate version. This has to mean that she has either signed on some Republicans or that she has converted some more Democrats who voted against the House version last fall. At the same time, all of this drama is happening while public opposition to the plan is increasing and while Obama’s popularity is sinking. But, the Three Stooges continue to ignore what we think.

TODAY’S QUERIES &ANSWERS:
Q. Does anyone really have any idea how much the new health care plan will cost? I’ve heard so many figures, I don't know what to believe.  (Albert ~ Salem, OR)
A. No. The only things we do know for certain are that we are going to continue paying our own health care costs for the next four years PLUS paying for the new plan which does not go into effect for four years PLUS higher taxes.

Q. What will happen if the health care doesn’t pass this time? Is this really the “final final?” (Sissy ~ North Hollywood, CA)
A. They’ll pass a small portion of the bill and declare victory.


Q. Why do they have daylight savings time, anyway? (Denny ~ Oak Harbor, WA)
A. So they can get the Health Care Bill passed an hour faster.
