This sort of thing an actual journalist would have flagged as dubious, but not Rachel Maddow. On her MSNBC show this past Monday, Maddow and guest Jeff Sharlet, an author and contributing editor at Harper's Magazine, were talking about the so-called Stupak amendment in the House health bill to prevent weakening of the ban on federal funding of abortion. Here's how the revelant portion of the conversation...

Hump day, hump day, take me half the way to the weekend. :D Okay, we'll do serious news item and then we'll talk fun stuff. First off, Barack's Big Insurance Give Away got worse than even the most jaded of us could have expected when the House voted over the weekend and included a measure which would remove abortion from medical care. It's an anti-choice measure and it's so offensive. This is from...

The way I feel about this is probably akin to how Thomas Jefferson felt when the anti-slavery clause was stricken from the Declaration of Independence in order to get enough votes to pass. Stupak probably doesn't have the votes will be joined by the Republicans and will probably get his amendment passed. Again, I ask: Why does someone's personal religious beliefs get to infringe on mine or anyone...
