They just spoke with Stupak and they said he’s finished with Pelosi since they rejected his enrollment corrections proposal.

This should come as no surprise since any tilt toward truly banning federal funding of abortion would guarantee that the senate would reject it, being that the bill passed by the senate does indeed allow for federal funding of abortion through “an accounting trick,” (Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius actually admits it) and the pro-abortion-influenced senators would reject any changes.

Fifty-six percent (56%) disapprove.

Any guesses on where Obama’s approval is headed if Obamacare passes?
