"the Democrats have no intention of standing by the Stupak Amendment."
then no proof to back this claim up.
"The silence from Planned Parenthood is deafening, and strongly suggests that the fix is in, and they know it"
total speculation. strongly suggests? that ain't journalism.
"And several House members have already said that they will have the Stupak language stricken..."

But if the White House and Congressional Democrats are willing, for a change, to be tough and savvy, they could save both healthcare reform and abortion rights by using the budget reconciliation process to reinstate the abortion protections Stupak's amendment removed.

Budget reconciliation isn't subject to the filibuster: only a bare majority in each house is needed to pass a reconciled bill. And while reconciliation can only be used to effect budgetary changes, not to change details of federally-administered insurance coverage, that's actually a plus, because it would allow liberals to pass a poison pill of their own: revocation of the Hyde Amendment and full federal funding of all abortions.
