Most people associate the words “Fame Monster” with pop icon “Laga Gaga.” However, over the last year, the title may be more appropriate for US Representative Bart Stupak. Stupak has been on just about every radio and television show in the country conveying his major concern about passing health care legislation was that he was strongly Pro-life and would not allow Federal funds to pay for abortions. Specifically, that if permanent language was not written into the proposed Bill, he (and his fellow Pro-life Democrats), would NOT support National Health Care. The Pro-life community grew to admire Stupak for his dedication and convictions, but we learned Sunday evening that he may not have been as honest as he declared. And with the following YOUTUBE clip, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URr68joWr1E Stupak may have been nothing more than a “Benedict Arnold” seeking fame all along.
Over the last 2 weeks, you could not turn on the news without seeing Stupak’s face. Stupak reinforced his objection to the Senate Bill because the language was not strict enough to prevent the Federal funding of abortions. [The Senate Bill had become so unpopular that according to a Rasmussen poll, more than 55% of the public rejected it; where even Obama and Pelosi admitted it was imperfect. However, at the risk of not passing any legislation at all and an even greater political fallout in the November elections, Pelosi imposed a timeline to vote on Sunday. She could have chosen to rewrite the Bill and send it back to the Senate (what THE PEOPLE wanted), but she did not. This meant, with all the payoffs enclosed, only the Senate version could be voted on].
The health care vote was scheduled for Sunday evening, March 21, 2010, and Stupak “allegedly” had been holding his ground against President Obama and Speaker Pelosi that supported abortion coverage in the Bill. There were meetings around the clock attempting to please Stupak. Stupak maintained through his interviews Saturday that he would NOT cave in on his own religious beliefs making his Pro-life supporters very happy.
However, Sunday morning Stupak struck a deal with the President and Speaker Pelosi that was more flimsy than a deck of cards. He was offered a Presidential Executive Order that could be retracted at any time. The Executive Order temporarily forbid the Federal Funding of abortions, but noting that President Obama and Speaker Pelosi are the most Pro-Choice President and Speaker our country has ever elected, are they ones to be trusted because they wanted a Bill that covered abortions?
On Sunday evening, the Senate Bill was passed by the House 219-212. Then, on Tuesday, President Obama signed it into law. The House did send a revised Bill to fix the Senate's Bill's “flaws,” but the Senate does not have to recognize them.
In the end, the public is stuck with a Bill they didn't want, both the Senate Bill (signed into law) and the “House's fix” are filled with bribes, and the language restricting the federal funding of abortions rests on the stroke of Obama’s pen, instead of Bart Stupak’s word. So, with all-time low approval ratings of both the President and Congress, and their recent patterns of deception with the American People, it makes one wonder if Obama will withdraw the Executive Order, allowing federal funds in the Health Care Bill to be used in abortions.
