Comments on: Am I Angrier at Bart Stupak or Barack Obama? http://www.punditmom.com/2009/11/am-i-angrier-at-bart-stupak-or-barack-obama Having an opinion never goes out of style.

Abortion for many Democrats is a wedge issue, don't expect many of them to defend it when you want them to. Stupak, similarly was being pragmatic, almost machiavellian. Without the amendment there would be a lot less 'bipartisanship' associated with healthcare reform. But I kind of agree with Debbie, congress will find a way to make the abortion issue go away. It's too bad however, some here think abortion is a right necessary to protect those from 'unwanted' pregnancies. That will teach them responsibility.

The only way that most men and some women will "get it" is when the issue hits closer to home (i.e. their own daughter has an unwanted or dangerous pregnancy). I am getting frustrated with President Obama also. I want him to stop offering his hand "across the aisle." At some point, one has to stop getting their hand slapped. Oops!
