"House Democratic leaders Thursday abandoned a long struggle to strike a compromise on abortion in their ranks, gambling that they can secure the support for President Barack Obama's sweeping health care legislation with showdown votes looming as early as next week.
In doing so, they are all but counting out a small but potentially decisive group whose views on abortion coverage have become the principal hang-up for Democrats fighting to achieve the biggest change in American health care in generations. Congressional leaders are hoping they can find enough support from other wavering Democrats to pass legislation that only cleared the House by five votes in an earlier incarnation."

It's crunch time. The Democrat leadership has just told Rep. Stupak and all the other pro-life Democrats that their concerns don't matter; the leadership will get this passed without them. The fact is, they can't. Huge pressure will be put on the few that stand for the protection of the innocent to put aside their morality and condemn their souls to vote the party line.
So here's the deal. If you live in a district represented by one of these people get on the phone and give them your support. I don't care what party you belong to. If you believe that abortion is murder and that health care will destroy our country support anyone that stands against these evils. And come through with your promise; vote for them this November. Party doesn't matter, only the truth.
If politicians realize that there are direct consequences, good or bad, for their actions they will start to listen to us and not the leadership. GET INVOLVED NOW! Americans must make a stand.
