Leave Bart Stupak Alone!

Poor Bart Stupak:

Leading a revolt against President Barack Obama’s healthcare legislation over abortion has been a “living hell” for Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.).

The telephone lines in his Washington and district offices have been “jammed” and he’s gotten more than 1,500 faxes and countless e-mails — most of which he says don’t come from his constituents.  [...]

The worst part has been the pressure from groups and individuals from outside his district on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

“How’s it been? Like a living hell,” Stupak said.

Apparently it didn't occur to Bart that, a.) health care reform has nothing to do with his cult crusade against abortion, and, b.) that when your actions will affect all Americans, chances are you are going to hear from people outside of your district.

But no one deserves the living hell of hearing from people who object to his efforts to kill health care reform, so why don't you give him a call and offer your condolences:

... and maybe mention The New England Journal of Medicine study that:

... suggests that universal health care coverage has been associated with a decrease in the number of abortions performed, despite public and private funding of abortion that is substantially more liberal than the provisions of the federal legislation currently under consideration by Congress.”
