Bart Stupak (D-MI) has been working to kill the Democrat’s health care bill because he believes it does not go far enough banning abortion coverage under private insurance plans.  In practice, the more people have access to health care, the lower the abortion rates are.  Bart Stupak is not only working against his pro-life arguments, he’s also attempting to kill a bill that will directly benefit his district.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee released an analysis for every district in the United States and the impact health care reform would have on that specific district.  According to the report, 44,000 people would gain access to health care in Bart Stupak’s MI-1 district alone.  The House Energy and Commerce Committee also details other advantages of health care reform for Bart Stupak’s district below.
