Neal to vote no?
Richard Neal (MA-2) has been cited as one of the approximately 12 House Democrats who may defect in the event of an up-or-down vote on the Senate's version of Obamacare. Neal was in the five vote majority in November when the House passed a health care bill including Bart Stupack's (D-MI) amendment prohibiting federal dollars from funding abortions. The Senate Bill that Pelosi and Obama are hoping to pass through the House lacks the Stupack Amendment's strong language, and Neal is apparently among those threatening to scuttle the bill. Neal's voting record on abortion and reproductive ethics issues is little scattered. He has a 30% rating from National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL) and a 0% from National Right to Life (NRLC).
