I am one of those base Democratic supporters who take vacation days to travel to Indiana or Missouri to canvas and make calls during the days before and on election day. If the Stupak amendment passes, it will effectively ban abortion in the U.S. It will mean fringe extremists like Randall Terry who managed the recent protest outside Pelosi’s office have more pull than the majority of voters.

If the Stupak amendment passes I’ll be spending my vacation days and weekends with my family instead.
