Democrats- Party of the "little guy"

The Democrat party once stood for the oppressed, the weak, the vulnerable, and the poor, yet today they are the abortion party. Who could be more weak, vulnerable and poor than women who think their best "choice" is killing their own child? Abortion hurts women and women deserve better than this very poor and very painful "choice". Real healthcare does not include hurting women and killing children, so I am very grateful for the passage of the Stupak amendment. Newsflash: America is prolife and abortion will be the deciding factor in all upcoming elections. It is time the Democrat party once again became the party for the "little guy (or girl)" in the womb! Intentionally killing unborn children through all nine months of pregnancy, which is completely legal and happens at a rate of 4,000 each day, is NOT healthcare.

Stupak is a mole in Democratic Party....

Both Parties have mole members. Like Dixicrats who delayed civil rights laws, Stupak is a reiigious extremist. His personal feelings guide his votes, so he violates his oath to preserve, defend and protect the Constitution. He is a fake Democrat, a fake patriot. He has no right to treat women as if we are inferior beings. He can never be pregnant under threat of dying from some organic failure triggered by conception. He is a fake male, because real men love women & take care of them, as mothers, wives & daughters. He steals assets of the Democratic Party & subverts them so his church can flourish & have its laws enforced. He unconstitutionally merges church law with civil law. Both Parties have no way at all to verify what a candidate actually stands for until he's in office and votes. Stupak exploits the system and does it lasting damage. If someone he did love needed an abortion, because she has kidney, heart of liver disease, would he let her die? Prolife exists to be sure women bear more tithers, to keep money flowing to tithe-dependent church employees.

Health care and abortion

Pass healthcare and quit with your own personal reasons for limiting the personal freedoms of women. Why do me get to have viagra and cialis? Limit that!

kudos to stupak

I'm heartened that principled Democrats are standing their ground on this issue and opposing the "pro-choice" myth that if one wants to defend innocent human lives from termination that this is allowing religion into government. The "pro-life" position is neither inherently religious nor inherently conservative. It's merely an approach to human rights that does not exclude the unborn.
