I asked the question yesterday Have the Democrats learned to count?. Apparently the news from George Miller and Nancy Pelsoi is yes:
Miller told DeLauro that there were “more pro-life votes in the House than pro-choice” and that abortion-rights advocates had better acknowledge that reality.
In the end, Pelosi’s strategy paid off in a big win for her and President Barack Obama. After Rep. Bart Stupak’s (D-Mich.) amendment banning abortion funding was approved with 64 Democratic votes, Pelosi was able to push through the health care reform package on a virtually straight-line party vote, 220-215.
Even more significant is the very next paragraph:
Pelosi wasn’t the only one getting pressure on the amendment. As rumors spread that Republicans might vote “present” in order to scuttle the entire bill, even Cardinal Francis George, archbishop of Chicago and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, called Republican leader John Boehner to make sure the GOP didn’t play any games with the Stupak amendment, sources said.
One the democratic party once again become a place where a foe of Abortion can live comfortably within that party the Republicans are in trouble. If the party also becomes friendly on other Religious issues then all bets are off.
As a Catholic I’m am thrilled, as a Republican I am very worried, but in the end the Catholic Hat is more important. Politics is polities but good and evil is good and evil.

You needn’t worry as a Republican; the Democrats will be removing the Stupak Amendment before the health care bill goes any further. The amendment was a Trojan Horse. The Democrat party and pro-life are decades from compatibility.
The Catholic hat being more important, while a valid viewpoint, is short-sighted in this instance in my opinion. Why? http://nonsensibleshoes.blogspot.com/2009/11/pro-life-lipstick-meets-pelosicare-pig.html
I admire your courage of convictions, and I share your faith. But by being a single issue-dominated voter you telegraph your intentions and become something those less-scrupulous than yourself can manipulate.
It’s a tough situation no doubt, but both pro-life and pro-conservative positions could have been victorious with solidarity and refusing to play into Democrats manipulative hands.
It’s still possible. Pray for success, I know I will.
That is very possibly true but it will be hard to sell to the pro-life voters of the blue dog districts the vote to approve this plan without the pro-life amendment that they fought for before.
The reality of the pro-life position is going to make things very interesting.
