There are two stories that we are closely monitoring for you today. President Obama and Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.) reminded us quickly we are far from ultimate victory and the fight for life has only just begun.

Last weekend, prolifers achieved quite an accomplishment by rallying 240 Members of Congress that voted to include the Prolife Stupak-Pitts Amendment to the House’s version of the Healthcare Bill. The merits of the Stupak-Pitts vote and amendment is the topic of numerous debates and you can read our opinion at the Sorting Through the AM Buzz Post. 

President Obama and Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.) are plotting revenge.  In the publication Politico today Woolsey co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus gives a not-so-veiled threat to turn the IRS against the Catholic Bishops while admitting that Bishops are within their rights to speak out on legislation.

“The IRS is less restrictive about church involvement in efforts to influence legislation than it is about involvement in campaigns and elections. Given the political behavior of USCCB in this case, maybe it shouldn’t be.” 

In Roll Call the President revealed that he already wants to change the abortion language in the final House Bill.

President Barack Obama told ABC News on Monday night that he wanted to change the language in the final House bill so that “neither side feels that it’s being betrayed.”

We’ll continue to monitor the situation and update you if action is required.  In case you were about to Google “Woosley”:
