Secret: Stupak Never Considered Voting No

In Stupak's own words, he was always going to vote Yes for Obamacare even if it had abortion language in it, which it does. This was all just political theater.

“If everything I want [is] in the final bill, I like everything in the bill except you have public funding for abortion, and we had a chance to run our amendment and we lost. OK, I voted my conscience, stayed true to my principles, stayed true to the beliefs of this district, could I vote for healthcare? Yes I still could.”
