Bart Stupak and his block caved to a promise of an executive order defunding the abortion provisions in the Senate bill. Very stupid in my opinion as one, I'm not sure that an executive order on funding is even legal; and two, the President (or any subsequent President) could simply choose to ignore or even rescind the order. In other words, it's not worth the paper it's printed on.
The Senate version of the bill will be signed into law (probably today) while an amending package will be sent to the Senate to go through reconciliation. Republicans will try to stop it and personally, I think the Senate will choose to do very little with it, saving their own necks and effectively hanging the House out to dry.
In the spirit of the new law, here's a catchy little tune for you.
