I can just see it now. House and Senate Republicans reading parts of liberal Washington Post Columnist E.J. Dionne Jr. on the House and Senate floor. Have you seen his editorial on abortion and healthcare? He doesn't do Nancy Pelosi, Diana DeGette and the House pro-choice liberals any favors with his latest column. Read a couple excerpts below:
From the outraged comments of the abortion-rights movement, you'd think that Rep. Bart Stupak's amendment to the House version of the health-care bill would all but overturn Roe v. Wade. No, it wouldn't.

Whatever else is true, Stupak's amendment is unlikely to have a significant effect on the availability of abortion. And most abortions are not paid for through health insurance. The Guttmacher Institute, for example, reported that only 13 percent of abortions in 2001 were directly billed by providers to insurance companies -- although the institute has cautioned that the proportion of women whose abortions were covered by insurance could be higher because the figure did not include those "who obtain reimbursement from their insurance company themselves."
Umm, can you say "Pro-Life talking points"?
