Northeast Michigan Democrat
Aside from "not voting" on many issues, Rep. Stupak votes with the Republicans on occassion according to the U.S. Congress Votes Database. He certainly does not stand firm with the Democratic National Platform:
THE 2008 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PLATFORM
RENEWING AMERICA’S PROMISE
Choice
The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right
to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all
efforts to weaken or undermine that right.
The Democratic Party also strongly supports access to comprehensive affordable family
planning services and age-appropriate sex education which empower people to make informed
choices and live healthy lives. We also recognize that such health care and education
help reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and thereby also reduce the need for
abortions.
The Democratic Party also strongly supports a woman’s decision to have a child by ensuring
access to and availability of programs for pre-and post-natal health care, parenting skills, income support, and caring adoption programs.
