Rosa DeLauro to peddle Senate abortion language

You know things are bad for the liberals in the House when one of their own gets sent out to coax the doubters into agreeing with the crappy Senate language on abortion rights. As Sam Stein bluntly states, "DeLauro is one of the strongest champions for women's reproductive rights in the House; her blessing over the Senate abortion language represents a potentially major concession."

A key pro-choice House Democrat, working on health care in Congress, hinted on Monday that said she might be willing to support the Senate's abortion language.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) who has been tasked by leadership with helping hammer out a compromise on abortion between the two chambers, said she was not thrilled with either the House or Senate legislation's provisions. But in an interview with the Huffington Post, the Connecticut Democrat did say she would support the Senate's version of abortion-related language provided that she could confirm her belief that it did not go beyond current law.

"There are some questions I still have," DeLauro said. "And that's why I want to see this side-by-side with the language. It's not Stupak-Pitts [the House's language]. So, it's already [an improvement]. And it would appear to be current law. I would have to look at the questions that surround it, et cetera. But if it is current law then it would be something that was my goal at the outset: let's maintain current law and then let's pass health care."

They better hurry up and pass this POS bill (4.00 / 1)
before Obama gives away so much in order to get "THE WIN" that we're back to the time when you have to be a white male landowner in order to be  even eligible to vote.

B+,you gotta be high!!


If it's already current law? (4.00 / 3)
Then why write a new law that does the same thing as current law?

"...And it would appear to be current law. I would have to look at the questions that surround it, et cetera. But if it is current law then it would be something that was my goal at the outset: let's maintain current law and then let's pass health care."

Bottom line is it is NOT current law otherwise shitheads like Ben Nelson wouldn't be inserting it into the bill in the first place.  It goes beyond current law and it speaks alot to how badly the administration is brow beating liberals to get Rose to push this line of bullshit on us.
