So really, Stupak was grandstanding for absolutely nothing in the end, because even if Obama signs an order...it won't change anything.
Obama today signed the order that simply reconfirms that the Hyde Amendment is the law of the land. Whoopie. A one-pen deal

What Brian said, above - Stupak was trying, via his amendment, to get more restrictions on abortion than exist today. He failed. Thank goodness.
