Matthew Anderson posted some helpful FAQ on what just happened. Here are the questions he answers:
- Did the Senate health care bill, which was the bill under consideration, cover abortions initially?
- But isn’t this bill covered by the Hyde Amendment, which prevents federal funding for abortions?
- So Stupak solved this with the Executive Order, right?
- Why did Stupak cave, then?
- Did Stupak get anything for it?
- And pro-lifers?
- Can we be done talking about this now?
These Democrats voted against the bill and numbered 34.
