Liberals to Pelosi: Get Rid of Stupak Language or We Won't Back Health Reform

Although liberal House Democrats voted over the weekend for the health-care bill with the Stupak amendment, Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., is collecting signatures from colleagues who are vowing to oppose any conference report that includes the Stupak restriction.
"The Stupak-Pitts amendment to H.R. 3962, The Affordable Healthcare for America Act, represents an unprecedented and unacceptable restriction on women's ability to access the full range of reproductive health services to which they are lawfully entitled," reads DeGette's letter to Pelosi. "We will not vote for a conference report that contains language that restricts women's right to choose any further than current law."
As of early Monday afternoon, DeGette's spokesperson says that the congresswoman has more than 40 signatures -- enough to block passage of health-care reform if the Stupak language is not changed.
