One of the compromises that Speaker of the House Pelosi made to smooth the waters for her healthcare legislation was the Bart Stupak (D, Mich.) Amendment that stripped abortion funding from the healthcare legislation.
So which of our Illinois Representatives voted in support of the Stupak amendment?
- Dan Lipinski (D, 3rd)
- Peter Roskam (R,6th)
- Mark Kirk (R,10th)
- Jerry Costello (D,12th)
- Judy Biggert (R,13th)
- Timothy Johnson (R,15th)
- Donald Manzullo (R,16th)
- Aaron Schock (R,18th)
- John Shimkus (R,19th)
And on the final vote, only Lipinski and Costello went on to vote “yes” for Pelosicare.
