I am hoping Rep. DeGette and others will look at the big picture and ask themselves: Would I vote against this bill if I or a member of my family had no health insurance?

I used to say I was politically pro-choice but personally pro-life, meaning I would never consider having an abortion. That was until I was faced with the choice of carrying a baby to term myself.

Belmont Abbey College argued in court that it was a secular institution in order to receive state funds, but then removed birth control from its employee health care plan. Their reason? The Catholic Church.

Would it be appropriate for Jewish and Muslim House members to oppose legislation beneficial to the pork industry or, even more analogous, to insist on a ban on eating pork products altogether?

The Stupak-Pitts amendment takes me back to the days when abortion was not legal and the shame of an abortion was very much like wearing a big red letter A on your forehead.

Stupak's poison pill will kill the public option -- unless progressives react intelligently rather than emotionally, in which case they can actually turn the anti-abortion amendment to their advantage.

The so-called Stupak Amendment is an outrageous denial of choice to women, dictated behind the scenes by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and their army of lobbyists.

After last week's vote, my company got no additional coverage, just higher rates. This is profound evidence that the insurance industry won the health care debate, and that taxpayers lost big.
