Bart Stupak Will Vote Yes On Health Care: “Real Winners Are The American People”

This is the game-changer, folks: Democratic Congressman Bart Stupak held a press conference at 4 p.m. today saying he’s voting yes on the House health care bill, with President Barack Obama signing an executive order that places restrictions on federal funding that can go to abortions in order to get the necessary voting bloc that Stupak brings to the table.

Stupak says the real winners are the American people but and that he’s “pleased to announce that we have an agreement … to protect the sanctity of life…” Obama will sign the executive order as soon as the bill passes through Congress. Looks like MSNBC was right in their premature announcement after all.
