Jane Hamsher at the liberal HuffPo spanks NARAL and Planned Parenthood for the passage of the “Stupak amendment.” Here’s just a small sample of her bile:
Democrats in Congress have just proudly signed a deal with the Catholic bishops which allows a bunch of old men who have spent the better part of the last century avoiding their own sexual issues to dictate access to abortion services in the House health care bill. No tax dollars were going to go to pay for abortions, mind you, but now insurance companies that participate in the exchange can’t even cover them, thanks to Democrat Bart Stupak. . .
If [Planned Parenthood and NARAL] really cared about going after Stupak or Kaptur as a lesson to the rest, they most certainly have the resources to do it. . . One can only imagine what would happen if pro-choice supporters started calling them. In short, Stupak and his fellow anti-abortion demagogues within the Democratic Party only get away with this because NARAL and Planned Parenthood let them.
