Marcy Kaptur looking for an excuse to vote yes?

Roll Call:

Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), who is undecided on the health care vote, said she is urging Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to hold a separate vote reaffirming Rep. Bart Stupak’s (D-Mich.) strict language limiting abortion insurance coverage to help clear the way for passage of the reform package Sunday.

Nancy Pelosi’s answer? No.

But Kaptur is worried:

Kaptur said she remains undecided on the bill and has a host of concerns beyond abortion language, but she said she is talking to leadership and trying to find a way to support the bill. “I want to be constructive,” she said. “We have to find a way to work it out.”

Kaptur suggested a separate vote sending a new bill to the Senate with the Stupak language could be sufficient, given that abortion language appears to violate the rules for reconciliation bills. “It would probably have to be a separate bill,” she said. Kaptur said she told Pelosi during an extensive face-to-face meeting on the House floor Wednesday that “I don’t want to be a problem for her,” but she has concerns about abortion and other issues, such as reimbursements for hospitals in her district.

Kapture should be worried about retaining her seat.

But if she truly cared about the unborn she would quite playing games and take a stand.
