I absolutely support any restriction of abortion, and applaud those in the House that are fighting for the rights of the most defenseless among us. Why there is such animosity when it comes to the right to life, and the protection of that life as a society, I will never understand.

I hope that DeLauro can think outside of herself for this one and end her fight. It is truly a stain on our society. She certainly does not represent me in this issue, and labeling it as a last-minute amendment is just simply disingenuous. This amendment has been going back and forth for quite a while, with supporters on both sides of the isle.

Neither side has it right either.

The Right is against abortion but for the death penalty and seemingly endless war.

The Left is all for the holocaust that is abortion, but stands up for the rights of convicts on death row. At least they don't like war.

Since Roe v. Wade, we have performed almost 50 million abortions in this country. The entire population of the United States is only 300 millioin. That number constitutes 1 in every 6 people in our country.

Why can't their be a third party with a simple and clear position on protecting all life, from beginning to end, without shame or hesitation. That would be truly courageous.

As an old Fair-Havenite , happy that there are folks still there who recognize that the pro-death - for- babies people like DeLauro share in the blood of millions of babies killed because of their efforts.

Yet she keeps being elected.

Too bad.

This legislation is about providing quality, affordable health care for families, businesses, and the government. Solving that problem - which is long overdue for our leaders - is hard enough given all the entrenched interests. To use it to change federal policy regarding abortion / reproductive rights is shameful. Yank it from the health care bill. Agree, if people want, to have that fight on its own terms, in its own time. Rosa's doing the right thing, and I believe the polls suggest the overwhelming majority of the people who vote for her agree.

Scrap the scam! No amendment can transform a Marxist scam like Obamacare into an honest bill. Any "amendments" will be just tricks, like the Stupak amendment, to force us to swallow the scam.

As you may have heard, Robert Creamer, a CONVICTED FELON and Obama’s ACORN associate, outlined the guidelines for the Obamacare SCAM in his 2007 book, “Stand Up Straight: How Progressives Can Win.”

Creamer wrote in his 2007 book:

* “We must create a national consensus that health care is a right, not a commodity; and that government must guarantee that right.”
* “We must create a national consensus that the health care system is in crisis.”
* “Our messaging program over the next two years should focus heavily on reducing the credibility of the health insurance industry and focusing on the failure of private health insurance.”
* “We need not agree in advance on the components of a plan, but we must foster a process that can ultimately yield consensus.”

As per Creamer’s book, their main objective is NOT improving health care. It’s to advance their power through the “democratization of wealth” (socialism/Marxim) as per the teachings of Saul Alinsky.
