“The trouble is one of the problems in this body is we have ended up having such massive bills come so fast that people do not read the bills, because on page 110 of the very bill that was under debate that the Stupak amendment was to address, this is page 110, subsection 4b, the subsection titled, ``Abortions For Which Public Funding is Allowed,'' then it goes on to say the services described in this subparagraph are abortions for which expenditure of Federal funds appropriated for the Department of Health and Human Services is permitted, and then it goes and sets out conditions. The point is they hadn't read that bill or they would never have gotten up and said, there is no money in this bill for Federal tax dollars for abortion. It was there, and it is there if you don't have the Stupak amendment.”
