Concerned congressman or anti-woman panty-sniffing monster. You decide.
Bart Stupak, who is apparently a congressman from some horrible depressing dying part of Michigan, does not seem to understand that abortion is a legal medical procedure in the rest of America that isn’t horrible, depressing and dying. So he would like to eliminate the part of the public option that would cover this procedure for poor women, and if his plan also makes it tougher for not-poor women to get this legal medical procedure, well, that gives him a boner too.
Since the Democratic leadership won’t stand up to him (because they are the Democratic leadership, after all) please go make a donation to Planned Parenthood in Bart Stupak’s name here.
Also. Please have Planned Parenthood send a thank you card to Bart Stupak:
Congressman Bart Stupak
2268 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Any amount, no matter how small, will do.
Thank you.

This is a fantastic idea, so did and done. I’ve been trying to find a way this morning to email him, but I don’t live in his district, so it seems to be impossible. Thanks, TBogg!
Good idea!
Although I bow to your leadership Tbogg, this time I’m not gonna do it. My money is in a lock box. No more money for politicians, or in response to this type of travesty. What’s the use? We have freakin’ Dem noodles in Obama, Pelosi and Reid. They have all the power, yet the conservatives are still running this country.
Fuck em all.
Done.
St. Satchmo told me to. Also.
Can I accidentally misspell his name and have Planned Parenthood send a card to Butt Stupid?
Never trust a politician that walks around with what appears to be a possum atop his head. Fuck you Bart, and donation made.
Why is it these guys always look like total creepbags?
Because, unlike Dorian Gray, they wear their decrepitude on their faces.
Holy shit, Stupak’s a DEMOCRAT!?????????? I just assumed he was in the other camp. My bad. THEIR WORSE.
Gave $25.
Bart’s done a helluva job for the UAW, too. He’s fucking everyone but the fetuses.
that’s annoying as hell; so to circumvent that i always use one of their local congressional offices’ adresses. who wants their junk mail anyway? lol.
happily made my contribution with a big fat thank you to bart. too bad there isn’t a ‘fuck you’ option.
Another $25 is on its way on behalf of Bart.
50 for the cause. Pardon my language, but “f” the good congressman in the “A”…hope he enjoys knowing I donated to PP in his name.
TBogg, did you see Jane’s latest blasting Planned Parenthood for their stupidity & sitting on their hands?
I won’t be sending those losers any $$$$.

I guess He’s not worried He’ll need an abortion. Just like kyle didn’t want to pay for womans healthcare.
Question, When are the American People going to get sick of these pukes?
My question: If I develop a moral objection to vasectomies, can we cut them out of the bill, too?
After all, they cost a lot of money, and if insurance didn’t have to pay for them, premiums would go down!
(And it’s an “elective procedure,” too.)
I’m feeling a “deep moral objection” to Viagra and Cialis coming on.
Can we cut the funding for that crap?
As a bonus, might prevent some “unwanted pregnancies” as well.
Jane and I disagree here. Our local PP does a great job and, since they are the first ones that women turn to, I want to see them continue their good work. Donate to your local PP.
Done and done. And what a great idea. Thanks.
Screw the prick. Who’s running in the primary against him?
I have a moral objection to funding any treatments for Erectile Dysfunction. (“ED”) This is a symptom that was recognized as a medical disorder solely for the purpose of requiring insurance companies to cover the cost of Viagra and similar ED treatments.
Yea, That’d be great except that Planned Parenthood has been MIA on this all year.
In fact does PP still exist ???
You’d think that a guy whose name starts with “stup” would be a little more amenable to abortion.
Right now, no one’s running in the primary against Stupak. He is rumored to be considering a run for governor, since Jennifer Granholm is term limited. That will certainly widen the field in his district; if he runs for re-election, I have a hard time seeing a real challenger running against him in the primary.
Wow. So many commenters with little perspective and a lot of anger and profanity. All this amendment says is that the government won’t fund abortions – it hasn’t in years, so it is only keeping the status quo in place here. Most people here need to ask themselves when a human being is created. What right have we do destroy a life after that point? Hint: location (inside or outside the womb) doesn’t change the answer. The government should not only not fund abortions but ban them as murder.
Hey look, an idiot! Will it wear a funny hat? Can we make it wear a funny hat?
Actually no. It does not maintain the status quo, it makes it more restrictive. It bans anyone or any group receiving any federal funds from providing abortion coverage. And that includes those plans that may currently provide the coverage.
So **** It *** Y*** ***
Happy to contribute $25. Whether Planned Parenthood is flawed or not.
Done.
There’s a spot where you can choose “On behalf of” or “In memory of”.
I chose the latter.
Tommy
Hey fuckwit, the law of the law is that ABORTION IS LEGAL. And so is having health insurance pay for ED drugs; ban one, then you have to ban the other, and then you’ll never have any fun anymore, will you?
Hey, Lori, it’s for Planned Parenthood.
Only yesterday I received a plea from Planned Parenthood and decided to join in response this this travesty. But I also sent them $100 with the big thank you to Stpuak.
It’s a pity that national Planned Parenthood basically sat on its hands over this one, then used it to raise funds.
Fuck you, you pigfucking cretin.
Yadda, yadda, yadda. Listen up, flamebait: Every time you chow down on a burger, eat a steak, squish a spider, or lace up your Nikes (–or other sneakers–) decorated with kangaroo skin, which–big brown eyes notwithstanding–are regarded as effin’ rodents by some people in Australia, you’re participating in killing living things which have a damn sight more utility than a 20-week-old fetus in utero.
Wait–you’re a VEGAN too? Did you know that plants scream when they’re picked? Well, you have to hook them up to a galvanometer to measure their angst, but it happens. (And the tracings look remarkably like those indicators of stress used by the right-to-life people to indicate that fetuses feel pain during an abortion!) Let’s face it: A one ton steer has a hell of a lot more of a fighting chance against a hungry human than a floret of broccoli!
As for the “rights” of the fetus-Americans, until you’re ready to shell out tax dollars to support the fetus-Americans until they reach 18 years of age–or longer if they suffer from abnormalities, I’m really not interested in your hypocritical position. Because “rights” imply “entitlements,” and the cost of these “entitlements” come out of the pockets of every Amerrican.
Except possibly the rich Wingnuts, who will continue to fly their daughters to Europe for safe, discreet abortions if they are banned in this country.
Ruthie, I like your style.
Let’s hope that we liberals are not ready to throw in the towel on this as we did on guns.
Maybe we should mail him coat hangers, though I realize that sounds like one of Erick the Red’s dumbass ideas.
Done. $25
