Someone really should ask Stupak why he’s teaming up with rich, old, white male child-abusers to deny American women their full rights as human beings.
Let Stupak have his famewhoring nanosecond in the sun. Progressives are financing an opponent against him in the primaries, and conservatives are calling him Judas.
