D just came home after being away all weekend, so this one will be short.
I am happy that the House passed a health care bill. I am less happy about the Stupak amendment.
I am pro choice--VERY pro choice, and this amendment rolls backs women's rights to control their own bodies in a huge way.
That being said...I think that the Senate has a less easy time filibustering this bill. This will bring the insurance companies into line, and there will be a lot of later voting on this amendment--AFTER we have some kind of health reform with a public option.
Get what you can now. Fix it later.
