When you make a sudden reversal on the abortion issue, as Rep. Bart Stupak just did, you probably ought to expect some passionate responses. The abortion debate makes the Shia-Sunni divide look like the Red Sox and Yankees.

But a death threat seems pretty contradictory to being “pro-life”, and I think it ought to be denounced. I think everyone reasonable would agree that no matter your stance, you don’t deserve death threats.

Markos Moulitsas: “This is what Stupak gets for playing footsies with the Right.”

Well, I said everyone reasonable.
