Pelosi says there will be no separate votes on abortion. “The bill is the bill,” she says.
Nevertheless, the Speaker believes that she will have votes for passage when she comes to the floor.
UPDATE: Reps. Driehaus (D., Ohio) and Dahlkemper (D., Penn.), two Stu-Packers, just went into Pelosi’s office. Of the meeting, Dahlkemper says “we’re still working on it.”
UPDATE II: Rep. Diana Degette (D., Co.) confirms to NRO that there will be no second vote on abortion language.
From The Hill:
Stupak still commands more than seven votes against the bill, said Rep. Dan Lipinksi (D-Ill.).
“They’re still short on votes,” said Lipinski, a Stupak confederate. “There’s still time and they still need votes.”
