Health Bill Rests on Stupak December 23rd, 2009 at 11:23 am by FF Washington Insider \| 8 Comments \| Share In a recent interview, Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) accused the White House and Democrats of pressuring him to not speak out about the abortion language in the Senate health care bill. It really could come down to Stupak. It’s hard to see the Senate receding to the Stupak language, but if all the Republicans hold together, it could lose over abortion coverage. (On the substance, of course Stupak is right — the Senate language does weaken the Hyde amendment, no matter how it’s spun.) frumforum.com The Senate language does, indeed, weaken the Hyde amendment. OTOH, the Stupak one extended it. The only way to fix that is to stick with the Hyde amendment, which they can easily do if both sides back off on trying to gain new ground on the back of health care reform. Of course, it the whole thing bombs over failure to reach agreement on abortion or anything else, that would be fine with me.
