Bill McGurn once again reminds the Democratic party they have a moral conscience to listen to:

In his Notre Dame speech, President Barack Obama called for “open hearts” that would help us find “common ground” to “reduce the number of women seeking abortions.” During his more recent address to a joint session of Congress, the president was even more specific about health-care reform, promising that “no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions.”
That is just what Mr. Stupak is trying to do with an amendment to the health-care legislation would explicitly ban federal funding for abortion. Here’s the problem: His own party won’t let him bring it to the floor for a vote. It’s a replay of earlier this year, when the leadership blocked a similar Stupak effort on a financial appropriations bill that ended up removing restrictions on D.C. taxpayer funding for abortion.
“The most frustrating thing is we go to the Rules Committee, they smile and say ‘thank you,’ and then we’re left at the door,” says Mr. Stupak. “At least give us a chance to let people debate and vote.”
