Stupak: Democratic Leaders Are Saying That If Abortions Aren't Paid For, There'll Be More Babies, and the Costs of ObamaCare Will Be Too High

Is he really being told that?

Or is this a nasty knife to the gut of a fabrication?

Hey, I'll happily do my part:

What are Democratic leaders saying? “If you pass the Stupak amendment, more children will be born, and therefore it will cost us millions more. That’s one of the arguments I’ve been hearing,” Stupak says. “Money is their hang-up. Is this how we now value life in America? If money is the issue — come on, we can find room in the budget. This is life we’re talking about.”

Although he's firm about not leaving the party, he sure talks up the party leaving him:

If Obamacare passes, Stupak says, it could signal the end of any meaningful role for pro-life Democrats within their own party. “It would be very, very hard for someone who is a right-to-life Democrat to run for office,” he says. “I won’t leave the party. I’m more comfortable here and still believe in a role within it for the right-to-life cause, but this bill will make being a pro-life Democrat much more difficult. They don’t even want to debate this issue. We’ll probably have to wait until the Republicans take back the majority to fix this.”
