Editorial: Stupak needs to stand his ground
We urge U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak to hold the course regarding abortion provisions in the proposed health care bill and to not compromise on this measure. Stupak has been the leading congressman against abortion funding provisions in the bill, and has maintained that he would vote against his party’s peers, if necessary, regarding the legislation if it continued to contain pro-abortion language. This week in Tawas City, Stupak said he would be meeting with other House members in a quest for wording that would satisfy his position of not allowing the use of federal dollars for an abortion. Stupak indicated he was optimistic such wording could be worked out. We aren’t so sure. Simply put, we want to make sure any wording is crystal clear on the subject and leaves no loophole to be exploited later.
