Pro-Life Caucus Claims Major Victory Over Stupak Amendment
By Travis Martinez, University of New Mexico-Talk Radio News Service
The Pro-life caucus touted the adoption of the Stupak-Pitts amendment in the Affordable Health Care for America legislation as a significant victory late Saturday evening.
“I can’t say enough for my colleagues on both the Democratic and Republican side… this is a great victory for people across this nation,” said Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI).
The amendment was adopted with a bi-partisan vote of 240-194.
The Stupak Amendment prohibits the use of federal funding for abortion under the public health insurance option and prohibits the use of federal affordability credits to purchase a health insurance policy that covers abortion.
