Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Stupak's amendment strikes this language and clearly forbids the use of federal monies to support abortion or abortion coverage. Ellsworth's plays a shell game, a 3-card Monty that hides the subsidies through misdirection.
Pelosi allowed Ellsworth a vote because Ellsworth's amendment doesn't impact the bill's ability to fund abortion coverage -- but gives Pelosi enough political cover to strip away a few nominally pro-life Democrats to vote for her bill.
