"I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill...and now I'm heading down to Capital Hill!"-School House Rock-1970's/80's educational cartoons
So now we have confirmation from Senator Bart Stup-id-ass-ak, (Stupak-D-Mi) that the president has agreed to sign an executive order, basically saying that...well, basically saying that ABSOLUTELY NOTHING will change or will have changed before the bill as after the bill, and that current law will be the law of the land, where abortion law is concerned.
So Mr Stupid-ass-ak, the esteemed colleague from Michigan gets....NOTHING...and the pro-choice and other Dems, including the president lose NOTHING...
So we've basically been held hostage by a group of asshats over something that looked like something at one end (Stupak's demands), but turned out to look like something else at the other end (the compromise), but, coming out the end, it's all basically the same stuff...
Yep, sounds like somebody's making big piles of shit to me!

L.
Credit MrsRaptor for the term "asshat" LOL
Sandy-
Eh, all politicians are full of hot air. Stupak is downright poisonous!
Lin-
I'm not exactly sure what an asshat is either, but it certainly seems appropriate
Jill-
I can respect a movement's agenda, if it's backed up with real practical application of real life situations. Unfortunately that's not the case with the anti-abortion movement. They depend ENTIRELY on philosophy and rhetoric, devoid of anything approaching realism
Far as I'm concerned, ALL legislation is poisonous, cause it's gonna be harmful to somebody
LadyM-
Frankly, calling this legislation a piece of shit is far too generous a compliment from my perspective LOL
