Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) described to FOX News last week a spat he says he had with Rep. Henry Waxman, the Democrat Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, over Stupak's proposed abortion funding ban. "I gave [Waxman] the language. He came back a little while later and said, 'But we want to pay for abortions.' I said, 'Mr. Chairman, that's - we disagree. We don't do it now, we're not going to start.' Stupak said Waxman replied, "But we think we should. I said, 'Well, I'm sorry but the House has spoken. We had that debate. We won 240-190. You forced the vote, a vote we won fair and square.'"
While Democrat leaders continue to block Stupak's pro-life provision - which is modeled after the Hyde amendment - they simultaneously claim that the legislation is subject to the existing Hyde amendment anyway, a claim repeatedly debunked by the National Right to Life Committee. LifeSiteNews
