It is not often that I write to sing praises of a liberal Democrat who supports public employee unions and votes for tax increases. Tonight is one of those rare exceptions because the courage showed by Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) during the weekend’s healthcare debate is even rarer. On behalf of a constituency that has no rights, no voice, and no vote, and against the wishes of the entire machinery of his own party and President, the former lawman showed why once upon a time cops were universally respected. I do hope fervently that the healthcare bill is packed off into history to bother us no more. In the very unfortunate even that it does become law, however, I would be somewhat relieved if the Stupak Amendment is part of that law. Nothing is more politically offensive than being asked to pay my tax dollars to support, even indirectly, those hedonistic people who kill their own children for convenience. The Stupak Amendment assures that those tax dollars will not go to support infanticide, but rather help poor children with needed pre-natal, post-natal, and immunization regimes.
