500?

CBS News reports that the pro-abortion lobby is making an all-out push to get abortion coverage into Obamacare.

Pressure on Democrats to abandon abortion restrictions added to the House health care legislation continues to grow, just as the debate over the divisive issue heads to the Senate.

More than 500 people from 30 states gathered at the Capitol today in opposition to an amendment to the health care overhaul that would restrict health insurance coverage for abortion. The so-called Stupak amendment, introduced by Reps. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) and Joe Pitts (R-Penn.), made it into the House bill last month.

500? That's it?

 Says a friend, "That's a tour group."

    Well, it's hard to rally people to your cause when your cause supports the murder of people on a massive scale. Millions of them, as a matter of fact.

    The funny thing is that 500 people will probably influence the Democrats. While the thousands that attended the tea parties are labeled 'nuts'.

    That's right as Anne Coulter stated: abortion is one of the "Sacraments" in the church of liberalism.The killing of babies is their top sacrament and anyone who challenges their right to suck the brains out of babies or give women and men, 18-30 to have as much irresponsible sex as possible, should be villainized (pro-life dems).The democrat party is the "infaniticide" party and even pro-life dems see this. That is why this party left me in 1973 when the Supremes silenced 50 million people.

    That's coming from CBS... If it were FOX news, you could say it was tit for tat because of them saying that 70,000 showed up on 9/12. It's pretty hard to get support when your cause supports the mass murder of unborn children.
