The Hill: There are 15-20 House Democrats who are withholding their support for President Barack Obama’s healthcare proposal, Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) said Wednesday.
Stupak led a broad coalition of anti-abortion rights Democrats in November, demanding that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) include tough abortion restrictions in the lower chamber’s legislation lest she lose a chance of passing the bill.
The Michigan Democrat has voiced unhappiness with the president’s plan because it upholds the Senate’s abortion language, which he says is too loose and could allow federal dollars to pay for abortion procedures.
