Exceed succeed John good morning around with Tom and Todd WRK. Oh what's up. Good morning gentlemen are a good job let's go the other thing is -- this is the beginning and everything make said that while -- gonna happen all the new amendment but the public option. I have one question forget all that bad at it. You know be bombarded with what what regarding how these changes that they're gonna go what they want what it. The one thing that was several weeks Italy Italy Italy where that there was absolutely no Beverly funding for abortion but that dealt. Why would it have been necessary for President Obama. To sign an executive order are. That would prevent expenditure of federal money on abortion if in fact that bill would not have covered federal money ain't pro abortion. Because lawyers disagreed plain and simple John the lawyers disagree did depending on which side of the issue they -- Iran. People in the Senate people and -- Sorry yeah my question is too -- a bit below disagree because they don't want federally funding. A lot more. Al -- -- about it and what what Stupak strategy was what I would call belt and suspenders. He digs a house languages it is -- it is the right position for pro life. Thinks the Senate language is Ron. Other people's another senate languages are protective of not as high. I'll hide as you was and he said I'm getting -- more than that I don't trust I don't believe that's not my interpretation by the way he allowed your point John. The Catholic bishops still say executive order we go by had not sufficient we remain opposed so. Real pro life is a such as the Catholic bishops say as Stupak but of picking a fight K. Down two. I think this is how I understand it is that you did then the spending of money. By the federal government or by the plan for abortions but. You would allow plans that were being supported by the federal health care plan. To our for the abortion if people were paying for a tour through our for the coverage and that was a little too close of line for some people but you could understand how. That's kind of a gray area argument it would it's it's getting so fine. -- whenever argument whenever there's a gray area of somebody who who you know who feels particularly adamant about a particular issue says I want further guarantees I want for the protection. That's again gets his back to that moment. We they had to be face to face conversation seizing affecting your health things or Erica -- -- like go sneeze and make sure you about Sega is -- dead in advance so that kitchen to the point where at. The what you have a face to face conversation with the president and he says look -- congressman Stupak do you. Have my word stupid -- bought into some people I know would not let's go to Steve hey Steve good morning welcome your on the atomic dot. Say good morning guys Zelaya would do great. Talk talk Arab charity you know that they -- challenge which language applies that statute as written or the executive order and you know the answer -- Yet no it'll be either an idealist it'll be the statue Wright has has written. But the unitary executive order will provide another level of protection not a strong Steve but. There -- -- protect you wanna get the -- court challenge at the output Asian of the statute is what a court role. He is where the protection that may have given I'm just speculate -- the first to admit may have given Stupak a comfort level that he needed. He hears from the president that no agency no department head is going to try do push forward. On more aggressive funding of abortions that he Barack Obama's committee himself and his administration to what. You know by if you want putts too bad did let's go to Ed hey Ed good morning -- they were -- on Todd.
