The deal made includes an illusory promise from the President that after the healthcare bill passes, he will sign an executive order to ensure that the Hyde Amendment is applied to the bill. However, it it’s the height of stupidity to trust the most abortion prone President in history. Executive orders can easily be undone.
Stupak made it clear that he placed sole responsibility on the Senate for the expansion of abortion. Stupak and the other six former pro-life Democrats (euphemism for Progressives) who followed his lead in this compromise cannot shirk their responsibility to protect the sanctity of human life. AS VOTERS YOU SHOULD NOT ACCEPT ANY EXCUSES!! Vote these worthless charlatans out of office in November. They have no integrity, honesty, and they all lack moral character. They sold their soles to Obama! They are in the very least – Socialists!
There is an old saying about promises. "A promise is a wish to a fool." Not only are these Progressive Congressmen/women fools but they are also "Sleazebags." Don't you find it despicable or contemptible when someone claims to stand by a principle and then give it up for no apparent good reason?

Call your respective representative and let them know how you feel about their vote. Also be sure and let them know that you will work hard to support their opponent in the November election.
