Former Dem Congressman Bart Stupak: "HHS Mandate Violates My Obamacare Compromise" and further, is unconstitutional

A little late, isn't it? Stupak was the leading pro-life Democrat who bought into the Obama "compromise" and supported the Healthcare legislation (Obamacare).

Former Congressman Bart Stupak admits a compromise he made with Barack Obama to pass the Affordable Care Act is invalidated by HHS's controversial mandate for taxpayer-funded contraception, including abortion-inducing drugs.

An attendee (At the Democrats for Life of America panel discussion at the Democratic National Convention) stood up and asked Bart Stupak and a panel of pro-life if the HHS contraception mandate has put them in a difficult position. Stupak responded, “I am perplexed and disappointed that, having negotiated the Executive Order with the President, not only does the HHS mandate violate the Executive Order but it also violates statutory law.”

Conservatives cautioned that the Executive Order was cheap political cover that could just as easily be undone by the President.

It took him a few years, but apparently Stupak has come to that realization as well.
