what people are saying

The passage of the Stupak-Pitts amendment came as a shock to many prochoice activists and writers, but it's not a secret that "pro-lifers" would like to roll back the right to abortion at any chance they get. Now that the amendment is in the House bill, progressives have to fight twice as hard to make sure it stays out of the final bill, and with some of the allies we've got, that's going to be an uphill slog--after all, Rep. Stupak is a Democrat.
