this is very sad....was Stupak naive or did he just cave and need cover? Krauthammer says it is a total cave...they had the votes without Stupak bloc but this gave him and the White House the semblence of cover....the clue to me is the lack of outrage from the pro aborts....they know that they can challenge this in the courts and get it thrown out and get what they want when Obama and Stupak say well....I did the best I could. Actually now he has lost the support of the pro life people and the Dems.

"This
Wednesday night is our 3rd annual Campaign for Life Gala,
where we were planning to honor Congressman Stupak for his efforts to
keep abortion-funding out of health care reform. We will no longer be
doing so. By accepting this deal from the most pro-abortion President in
American history, Stupak has not only failed to stand strong for unborn
children, but also for his constituents and pro-life voters across the
country."...
"Let me be clear: any representative, including Rep. Stupak, who votes for this healthcare bill can no longer call themselves 'pro-life.' The SBA List Candidate Fund will not endorse, or support in any capacity, any Member of Congress who votes for this bill in any future election.
"Now through Election Day 2010, these representatives will learn that votes have consequences. The SBA List Candidate Fund will work tirelessly to help defeat Members who support this legislation and make sure their constituents know exactly how they voted. We will actively seek out true pro-life candidates to oppose Members who vote 'yes' on this bill, whether it be in general or primary elections. For these Members, it will be a quick downhill slide to defeat in November."
"The executive order on abortion funding does absolutely nothing to fix the problems presented by the health care reform bill that the House will vote on this evening. The very idea should offend all pro-life Members of Congress. An executive order can be rescinded at any time at the President's whim, and the courts could and have a history of trumping executive orders. Most importantly, pro-abortion Representatives have admitted the executive order is meaningless."
Last night, Rep. DeGette told The Huffington Post, "If there was an executive order saying they weren't going to use federal funds in the bill to pay for abortions that would be fine with me."
Today, Rep. Wasserman Schultz admitted to Fox News' Megyn Kelly that "an executive order cannot change the law."
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops pointed out today that "only a change in the law enacted by Congress, not an executive order, can begin to address this very serious problem in the legislation."
