Correct. He voted against Stupak but FOR healthcare-with-Stupak.

NOW, NARAL, and other womens' rights groups have taken the position that healthcare-with-Stupak is not worth getting. It's too big a compromise of womens' rights. I tend to agree.

Interestingly yesterday 538 ran a piece (http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/12/in-polls-much-opposition-to-health-care.html) showing that much of the growing opposition to the current healthcare bill is coming from the left, who feel it gives away too much - that it's less a "compromise" and more a "surrender."

This is the position I took in my own LJ posting about a month ago: http://drwex.livejournal.com/234854.html
