Basically, we've learned that ostensibly pro-life legislators will choose allegiance to their party over the interests of the unborn, just as long as they have the fig leaf of a completely worthless and legally unenforceable piece of paper autographed by the President to hide behind.
It was good to see Rep. Cao change his vote to a "no," though.
In the meanwhile, ask yourselves this. If the health care reform bill really didn't contain items allowing for increased access to abortion (circumventing the provisions of the Hyde Amendment, eg), why was the language initially requested so controversial and feared by so many? So many, in fact, that some were willing to torpedo the whole health care push if said language was included.
