Washington,
DC (LifeNews.com) -- Bart Stupak is now a household name thanks
to the amendment he sponsored to the House health care bill that bears
his moniker. The House approved his amendment to de-fund abortions
in the government-run health care program and he is warning abortion
advocates not to remove it.
Pro-Life
lawmakers teamed up with Stupak, a Michigan Democratic congressman,
for the amendment
to stop abortion funding in the public option and affordability credits.
However,
as they and pro-life groups expected beforehand, abortion advocates
have threatened to remove the amendment in the conference committee
that produces the final bill both the House and Senate will eventually
have to approve.
Stupak
warns them not to do that.
"We
are in contact with senators to make sure our language holds,"
Stupak told the Detroit News. "The other side is playing with
fire."
