Brain -> Christian leaders urge Congress to ignore misinformation on abortion provisions and pass health refo (3/14/2010 2:00:10 PM)

It's my understanding that this whole abortion issue is a red herring anyway, since it's illegal for federal moniey to fund abortions and this bill in no way violates that law. So really, the whole abortion outrage is much ado about nothing.
This is going to pass.
Christian leaders urge Congress to ignore misinformation on abortion provisions and pass health reform - Think Progress
In recent weeks, the number of Democratic lawmakers willing to join Rep. Bart Stupak’s (D-MI) crusade to bring down health care reform unless Congress amends the Senate bill’s abortion language keeps shrinking. Stupak began the debate with that 15 to 20 supporters; that number is down to fewer than a dozen now. As Igor Volsky notes, “it’s become difficult for Stupak and his gang of four (or five) to perpetuate the fundamentally dishonest claim that the Senate bill spends federal dollars to fund abortions.” Underscoring this point, this week, a group of 25 “pro-life Catholic theologians and Evangelical leaders” sent a letter to Congress urging them to look past the misinformation on abortion and pass health care reform. From their letter:
