Stupak: President's Health Care Bill is "Unacceptable"

In a statement out this morning, Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., has addressed the issue of publicly financed abortions included in the president's health care proposal:

I was pleased to see that President Obama’s health care proposal did not include several of the sweetheart deals provided to select states in the Senate bill. Unfortunately, the President's proposal encompasses the Senate language allowing public funding of abortion. The Senate language is a significant departure from current law and is unacceptable. While the President has laid out a health care proposal that brings us closer to resolving our differences, there is still work to be done before Congress can pass comprehensive health care reform.
