Stupak: There Is No Deal
This led to speculation that Rep. Bart Stupak - who has been a spokesperson for a group of democrats opposed to current abortion language in the health care legislation - may be ready to compromise on the language of the bill and cut a deal.
Yesterday, The Weekly Standard reported this:
Michigan Democrat Bart Stupak said yesterday at a townhall in his home state, "I'm more optimistic than I was a week ago" that a deal could be reached to pass a health care bill that bans public funding of abortion. Some speculated that this meant Stupak was ready to cave. "Obviously they don’t know me," Stupak said in an interview this afternoon with THE WEEKLY STANDARD. "If I didn’t" cave in November, "why would I do it now after all the crap I’ve been through?"

This is the day that many of us have been waiting for for over three years. Horton Hears A Who the movie opens in theaters everywhere today. The old Dr. Seuss book has been embraced by pro-life people everywhere as a powerful allegory for ending abortion. I think God is up to much much more than just happy coincidences though. I believe He is shouting to the nation right now from every conceivable angle that abortion must end.
Matthew 27 gives us a “behind the scenes” look at Judas right after his betrayal of Jesus. It says that when he saw that Jesus was condemned he was suddenly seized with remorse for what he had done. What happened next gives us a glimpse of the reality of bloodguilt in the New Testament.
