When Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI1) was threatening to withhold his support from ObamaCare because of his concerns as to how it would endanger the weak and helpless he told National Review’s Bob Costa that Democrat Party leaders were telling him: “If you pass the Stupak amendment, more children will be born, and therefore it will cost us millions more. That’s one of the arguments I’ve been hearing. Money is their hang-up. Is this how we now value life in America? If money is the issue–come on, we can find room in the budget. This is life we’re talking about.”
Now why would any person with a conscience stay with an organization that would choose such people as its leaders?
Of course Stupak ended up voting for the bill sans his amendment endangering all of us not just the weak and helpless. So maybe Stupak doesn’t have a conscience. Or maybe he is like Gollum and his conscience just can’t overcome his desire for pretty things and power.
