Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-IL

Rep. Jim Oberstar, D-MN

Illinois Democrat Dan Lipinski told The Weekly Standard that he will not vote for the  Senate healthcare bill unless the pro-abortion sections are removed. When asked if Lipinski was open to supporting the Senate healthcare bill if it lacked the Stupak language, the Congressman’s spokesman Nathaniel Zimmer replied: “No. Congressman Lipinski will not vote for a health care bill that provides federal funding for abortion.”

And Lipinski isn’t the only Democrat willing to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Bart Stupak.

Minnesota Democrat Jim Oberstar made crystal clear that he won’t support the Senate healthcare bill as it stands. He told told Congressional Quarterly on February 24: “I will not vote for a health care bill that doesn’t have the House abortion language in it.”

And don’t assume these are a couple of conservative Democrats from the South. Lipinski represents the South Side of Chicago and Oberstar represents the rural and very Democratic area of Minnesota’s Iron Range.
