Comments on: Are The Republicans Stupak? http://www.amconmag.com/postright/2009/11/20/are-the-republicans-stupak/ Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:39:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: David Lindsay http://www.amconmag.com/postright/2009/11/20/are-the-republicans-stupak/comment-page-1/#comment-2783 David Lindsay Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:42:40 +0000 http://www.amconmag.com/postright/?p=1330#comment-2783 But they are not exactly holding their breath for it. Something is only unconstitutional if the Supreme Court says it is, and I am amazed at your faith in that body. And the Evangelicals are among those most likely to benefit from the healthcare legislation, which, moreover, levels the playing field by ending the situation in which abortion is far less expensive than carrying a pregnancy to term. If, and don't rule it out, radical feminists opposed to Stupak decide to stage Hillary's Revenge by opposing the Bill itself in the end, specifically because of Stupak, then what will the GOP do? If the Republicans wish to become the party only of those who read the Constitution as if it were the Qur'an, to the exclusion of those who read the Bible as if it were the Bible, then they had better prepare themselves for oblivion.

And Catholics and Evangelicals will be watching? Good grief. You so do not understand American politics. The number of pro-Life Evangelicals who are rooting for the health care bill in the name of less abortions could meet in a phone booth. That constituency does not exist. Abortions aren't that expensive, and most are privately paid for already. That federal health care will make abortions "all but impossible" to procure is simply wishful thinking. How about this? We have no unconstitutional federal health care and laws against killing babies. That is what Evangelicals in this country want.

Remember, they had complete control of the federal government for nearly 6 years and did nothing significant during that time. But yap, yap, yap is all we got. George Bush wouldn't even show his face at the March For Life. Excellent Post Mr. Lindsay
