I'm going to dissent slightly, though, on whether this will be so cavalierly stripped out in conference. Of course, they *can* do so. But nobody's going to buy a dodge if it's done and those who voted in favor of the Stupak Amendment suddenly tuck tail and vote in favor of the bill with it stripped out. It passed by 220-215. The whips had to flog reluctant Dems like rented mules to get a three vote cushion. We know for a fact that the Stupak Amendment was the only reason Cao voted in favor. If it goes, Pelosi has a two-vote margin *at best.* Count on her losing that margin if Stupak is gone. A victory is a victory is a victory.

My parish helps me in more ways than one. This bill, if it passes, violates the rule of subsidiarity. Why bother donating money to charities if you're having the government due it at the expense of using "other" peoples money. Paul,

And I am only one person. But I am a poorish person who can't afford health care. And I in no way deserve this government handout, nor do I want it. Steve Paul,

I appreciate what you say. And I am only one person.

But I am a poorish person who can’t afford health care. And I in no way deserve this government handout, nor do I want it.

The rich does not understand what the poor go through. I live with them everyday. And I know their predicaments. If the Senate loves those who sent there, the must follow the House of Representative's example. I am happy that no money goes for abortion. Insurance is all about saving life. We cannot profess pro-life and refuse or go against what would save life for the people. Let us live the truth in love. Eph. 4:5. Paul Ofoha I think the poor deserve this reform.

But it also seems to me that we're in a race against time to finish the victory before the autocrats institutionalize free abortion on demand without restrictions as a fixture in this country.
