"Conservative" Dems Oppose Funding for Abortion in Health Reform

While I didn't think there were any such creatures left on planet Earth, moderate House Democrats have spoken up. Nineteen Dems wrote to Queen Nancy Pelosi and told her that they don't want taxpayer-funded abortion included in any national health plan. Thank God.

Note: Notice how media types use the word "moderate" to describe middle-of-the-road Republicans, while Dems who are in the middle are called "conservative." This kind of labeling suggests that regular Republicans are somehow extreme. Calling Dems "conservative" is meant to marginalize any one of them who steps off the plantation.

"When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every Americanwas to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
