And would Senator Boxer really vote for a final bill with the Stupak language intact? Nothing would surprise me now. The only people in that entire branch of government I have ANY respect for are Dennis Kucinich & Eric Massa, who voted NO on that piece of shit House bill last month <em>for the right reasons</em>.
