House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) is joining other high-ranking Democrats (see this Vital Signs post from yesterday) who promise that the pro-life protections that were part of the health care bill that squeaked out of the Congress last weekend will be removed.
"I think that's what's gonna happen," Clyburn said during an appearance on MSNBC when asked if Rep. Bart Stupak's (D-Mich.) amendment would be removed.
Clyburn said that many other House Democrats supported the having a vote on the amendment in the House, with the expectation that it would eventually be removed. "I agree that the language approved by the House is unacceptable," Clyburn explained. "We were doing what was necessary to do to put the bill on the floor in about 12 hours."
Excuse me? Did Clyburn just confess that a bunch of Democrat Congressmen are liars and hypocrites? I think he did.
But it's not just Democrat politicians who are bound heart and soul to extending abortion. So too are abortion profiteers like Planned Parenthood and journalists turned liberal activists like Chris Matthews.
