According to politico.com, a meeting of Democrat leaders of the House of Representatives was held today at 1:00, with the purpose of mapping out the House strategies for negotiations with the Senate on the final version of health care legislation. In addition to the elected Democrat House leaders, the meeting included Representative George Miller (California), chairman of the Education and Labor Committee; Representative Henry Waxman (California), chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee; Representative Charles Rangel (New York), chairman of the Ways and Means Committee; and Representative Louise Slaughter (New York), chairwoman of the House Committee on Rules. Every member of this group voted against the Stupak Amendment (amendment to prohibit federal funding of abortion). Representative Bart Stupak (Michigan) told the Bay City Times that he has asked to be on the conference committee (made up of selected members of the House and Senate, and formed to iron out the differences in the House and Senate health care bills), but "I doubt they'll let me because of the amendment. I'll still be in the room, though.” Please pray that there will be a voice for prohibiting federal funding of abortion in the negotiations on the final version of health care. May Representative Stupak not waiver in his pro-life stand. The climate he has to work in is anti-life. May God grant him strength.
May God have mercy on our nation.
