It seems there's a new idea being floated.
Please the Stupak group by offering Executive Order.
Whatever it takes, you and I know that it would change nothing, but if it makes Barf, oops I meant Bart, happy, go for it.

Brian Beutler reports from Capitol Hill that Democrats are floating an idea of getting President Obama to issue an executive order on abortion upon signing the health care legislation.
"I think it's clear enough that there [is] no federal funding. If an executive order underscores that, satisfies some people, that's fine," Waxman said.
Hoyer confirms
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer confirmed this afternoon that Democrats are discussing the potential of President Obama issuing an executive order on abortion when he signs the health care reform legislation.
Brian Beutler asked Hoyer (D-MD) if a significant number of pro-life Democrats would be amenable to that plan. "I'm hopeful," Hoyer replied.
