GOP lawmaker shrieks ‘baby killer’ at pro-life Democrat Rep. Bart Stupak.

When House Republicans tried to use a motion to recommit to send the reconciliation package of health reforms back to committee to essentially kill the bill, Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) gave a passionate speech urging his colleagues not to fall for the ploy. Stupak said that Democrats have moved a pro-life bill in every way, by restricting taxpayer funds to abortion and by providing millions of Americans will quality health insurance. However, CNN is reporting that as Stupak gave his speech, a Republican lawmaker yelled “baby killer” at him. Murmurs were heard from the Democratic side of the aisle, and a Democratic lawmaker shouted “who said that?” No Republican answered.

CNN’s David Gergen observed that Republicans had joined rowdy, and at times vulgar, tea party protesters all weekend in rallying against the bill. He warned that the heavy influence of the tea parties, Rush Limbaugh, and other extreme right-wing voices is dangerous for the Republicans politically.

6. The GOP are an uncontrollable and are prepared to take everyone down with them, Democrats 2010...

They are rarely about policy just insults and false accusations. We must soldier past them they've more or less declared war on their own nation, they simply don't belong in Congress.

10. Republicans are baby-killers

A poor or working poor mother gets pregnant, and right off the bat her pediatric bills (do or would) go through the roof. This is because of Republican obstinateness. Struggling so much financially before the baby is even born, she goes to have an abortion. This happened before abortion was legal and happens now that is both legal and safe. Republicans create poverty as a weapon against working people for the idle class, make it impossible for poor people to raise a family and then call them baby killers when they the abort the fetus which will have no future with or without an abortion.

11. They know who is was !!!

From Huffington Post:

Rep. David Obey (D-Wisc.), who was presiding over the floor when the anonymous Republican member made the outburst, told reporters he knows who the offending lawmaker is but won't name names.

"Members have a right to make an idiot of themselves once without being exposed," he said.
