We had a total of 64 Democrats that voted "Yes" to the Stupak-Pitts amendment, which added an unnecessary and excessive anti-abortion provision to the House healthcare bill that was passed tonight. However, there were a total of 23 Democrats that voted Yes on the Stupak-Pitts amendment, and then followed that up with a "No" vote on the final healthcare bill vote. These 23 Democrats intentionally voted for the Stupak-Pitts amendment to actively impair the Democrats' healthcare bill, something far worse than a simple "No" vote on the bill.
