dankennedy_nu: Amazing. He should be their Man of the Decade. RT @tpmmedia: Pro-life group rescinds award for Bart Stupak: LINK #hcr 8 minutes ago
=================================
I agree completely.
Instead of honoring this man who is a Democrat, and has managed to get an Executive Order from the most pro-choice President, they are now rescinding an award.
This group has proved that the group is all about pushing Republican agenda.
So, all they wanted from Rep.Bart Stupak is to deny the bill.
Shame that women's body and pro-life stance is being used as the "bone of contention" TO PROMOTE CORPORATE INTERESTS.
It is things like this that really turn me off from Republican agenda. Quite an eye opener. Republicans and so called "Pro-Life" groups are proving to be all about Corporate interests.

NOW: We see we have our work cut out for us far beyond what we ever anticipated. The message we have received today is that is acceptable to negotiate health care on the backs of women, and we couldn't disagree more.
All together now, for he's jolly good fellow, for he's jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny.... The President gave us a signal today, and this being Women's History Month, we will forever be remembering.

Late last night, I saw Rep.Bart Stupak and bloc's press address.
I was very impressed with Rep.Marcy Kaptur and Rep. Nick Rahall.
Rep.Marcy Kaptur made this very important point. A woman will no longer have to make a decision to carry a baby to term on the basis of whether she can afford health care for herself and the baby. Marcy brought tears to my eyes.
Rep.Nick Rahall made the point that this is the most pro-life bill he will have ever signed because it helps the life of 33 Million people. He was talking about "life" in the "living" sense of the word - a healthy life.
They were both very earnest in their statements. I was impressed with both of them.
I am sure Hillary Clinton would have approved of what they have done and said.
