Part Two is a fun-to-write story about a marvelous new DVD. Part Three is a story you hate to write about what an abortionist has done to many women. Send your comments on any or all three parts to daveandrusko@gmail.com.

It is hardly news that there is nothing simple about the Health Care Restructuring proposals or the manner in which President Obama and the congressional Democratic leadership intend to get a bill passed and signed into law. On the one hand it is obviously immensely complex, not to mention mind-boggingly expensive. On the other hand because promotion of abortion is woven into the very fabric of the Senate bill (along with oodles of money), the Obama Administration must deny the undeniable as it tries to snooker pro-life Democrats in the House.

Pro-life champion Rep. Bart Stupak

Obama is the very model of misdirection. Pro-life champion Rep. Bart Stupak is his mirror opposite. He says what he means and means what he says. And Stupak has said it often, particularly in the last couple of days after the President began to ratchet up his offensive. Let me offer three examples. First, from Rep. Stupak's comments to the New York Times:

"[T]here's a principle and a belief that the American people agree with which says no public funding for abortion, and that's a principle and a belief I'll continue to fight for."

And (from ABC News)

"We want see a bill. But the bill that they [White House] are using as a vehicle is the Senate bill," Stupak said. "You would find in there the federal government would directly subsidize abortions, plus every enrollee in the Office of Personnel management plan, every enrollee has to pay a minimum of $1 per month toward reproductive rights which includes abortion. …Give us our language. Let's keep current law: No public funding for abortion."

And (on MSNBC's "Hardball")

"We're going to do what we have to do. We're not compromising on this issue. We've gone as far as we can. They know that. …I want to see health care as much as the president and the speaker, but this is a principle and belief."

You could stay up all-night trying to figure out how "reconciliation" might play out. There are so many different directions it could take, so many levels that players are operating at, it's like playing three-dimensional chess.

But the bottom line is disarmingly straight-forward: Obama has to win in the House. This is dawning on others as well. Writing at nationalreview.com, for example, Jeffrey Anderson put it this way:

"The attention is on the Senate, but the battle is in the House. It's time for Americans from coast to coast to communicate their clear desires to their congressmen. If Americans don't want Obamacare -- and every indication is that they emphatically don't -- now is the time for swing-district Democrats to hear that full chorus of opposition: loudly, clearly, and forcibly."
