Stupak, working with GOP, trying to sink abortion compromise

An aide to Rep. Bart Stupak
(D. Mich.) coordinated opposition to a Senate compromise on the place
of abortion in health care legislation this morning with the Republican
Senate leadership, the Conference Catholic Bishops, and other anti-abortion groups, according to a chain of frantic emails obtained this morning by POLITICO.
The emails show that Stupak — who has so far remained silent on language accepted by Senator Ben Nelson
(D. Neb.) and faces intense pressure from the White House to accept it
— is already working behind the scenes to oppose the compromise.
