When Nancy Pelosi’s campaign of arm-twisting was coming up short on Saturday, she turned to Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI), who was the ringleader of a small group of Democrats who opposed Obama’s government-run health care experiment and its funding for abortion. Unfortunately, his opposition was in name only, since he and six of his colleagues decided to support the bill anyway, with nothing but a promise from President Obama that he wouldn’t use public funds for abortions.

Pro-life organizations opposed the switch, with the Susan B. Anthony List going so far as to rescind an award they were preparing to give Rep. Stupak in a few days. Instead, they have vowed to defeat Reps. Stupak, Driehaus (D-OH), Kaptur (D-OH), Rahall (D-WV), Mollohan (D-WV), Dahlkemper (D-PA) And Donnelly (D-IN) in November.  Defeating these seven Democrats is key to ensuring our goal to fire Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House in the next Congress.
