Stupak Coordinating Anti-Choice Activism With GOP Senate Leadership

An aide to Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) coordinated opposition to the Senate health bill's abortion compromise this morning with the Republican Senate leadership, according to a chain of frantic emails obtained this morning by POLITICO.

Stupak, in an interview with POLITICO, called the Senate bill's abortion position "unacceptable" -- but disavowed his staffer's collaboration with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

"I never talked to McConnell about the health care bill," said Stupak, adding that "I did not authorize the email [which] was sent without my knowledge."
