What do you think about your tax dollars paying for the maternity expenses of the uninsured pregnant women who otherwise would have gotten abortions?

You know that once you are pregnant you cannot get insured since it's a pre-existing condition , right?

Amazing! The First Amendment ever protects Texas congressmen. Who would have guessed?

Nice of him to apoligize.

People - in Congress and elsewhere - need to take a deep breath, release it slowly, and realize that life goes on.
It does take class to do so, as does forgiveness.

What he apologized for doing is between him and the people he offended.

What you said, and misrepresented in you post, is a different matter. You obviously wanted perpetuate the erroneous gossip that he lashed out at Stupak personally by calling a "baby killer" instead of the agreement he reached with the White House.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of them told him to come forward and apologize and if he didn't they would mention who said it.

He had 12 hours or so to think about it. He was able to come up with a plausible story. His words weren't clear on TV, at least on whatever channel I was watching. So he says "this is what I said", and apologizes for it. It's good enough for me.

If this bill doesn't contain anything funding abortions, then why did Obama promise the pro-life democrats that he would sign an executive order saying that none of the funding will go to abortions?

It seems that Obama has given you the very answer you are looking for.
